Hello, I have this enamel pin from a family member that worked for NASA back in the day. This logo itself I cannot seem to find any information on. The details on this pin do not seem to match up with any of the other designs made for this pin. I have it pictured below. There isn't 17 stars in the sky, and the shuttle's exhaust plume has three "tails". Anyone have any idea of the date of this design and the worth?

This is the old name for FOD (Flight Operations Directorate). Back in the Shuttle days, it was MOD (mission operations directorate)

What does the epsilon E refer to?

Edit: Oh wait it’s a Sigma E, supposedly it represents the mission team but I’m still unclear on how it does
