Description
Apollo 13: Two Segments of Flown Thermal Mylar Film Coating, "Kapton Foil" with COA. Apollo 13: 2 flown Thermal Mylar Film Coating "Kapton" foil segments (officially GT-131 Thermal Control Coating Laminate.) Removed from the Command Module "Odyssey" which in April, 1970 carried Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise into space. The mission resulted in one of the most dramatic and greatest triumphs for NASA in getting the men back safely after an oxygen tank explosion two days into their flight to the moon. The mylar film coating provided thermal protection for the Command Module. Once returned to Earth, thermal coating was removed from the spacecraft and very often used for presentation purposes, usually entombed in lucite. Segments are 1 1/4"x 3" and 2" x 4 1/2" with heat stress and buckling clearly apparent. Comes with exceptional provenance and a COA that is distinctly different from the Apollo 11 Certificates. Each Apollo 13 COA has an image of the North American Rockwell C
