I'm just finishing off descriptions for several Neil Armstrong owned publications and I'm wondering what routing the handwritten "CB" on some of these signifies.

I note that the Johnson Space Center includes "CB" in its address but I'm not sure if this is the same. Thanks for your help.

I remember using Mail Code CB when sending letters to the Astronaut Office at Johnson Space Center.

Each organization or division at Johnson Space Center has its own mail code. "CB" is the mail code for the Astronaut Office.

Other mail codes include:

  • AA - Office of the Director
  • CA - Flight Operations Directorate
  • EA - Engineering Directorate
  • MA - Gateway Program
  • NA - Safety and Mission Assurance Office
  • VA - Commercial Crew Program

If I remember correctly "CB" stood for Cyril Baker, Chief, Administrative Support, Astronaut Office.

Thanks everyone, that's immensely useful. The routing detailed certainly makes sense. cS comes to the rescue again.
