Apollo 14 Flown Lunar Surface US Flag
6x4 inch Flown To Lunar Surface US Flag with Edgar Mitchell Signed COA
Comes with Edgar Mitchell COA
Price: SOLD
This stunning 6x4 inch (approx) United States flag was flown to the Lunar Surface during the Apollo 14 mission in February 1971. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity hand signed by Edgar Mitchell.
The flag was carried to the Lunar Surface onboard the Apollo 14 Lunar Module, Antares and was stowed inside Mitchell's LM personal preference kit. The flag spent a total of 33.5 hours on the Lunar Surface.
Mitchell has hand signed and inscribed the flag with, "Flown To The Lunar Surface aboard Antares Feb 5 1971 - Edgar Mitchell Apollo 14 LMP"
US flags are the most sought after of all the nation flags flown on Apollo. Especially those flown to the Lunar Surface and those which have hand written certification on the flag itself by the Astronaut.
The COA goes on to state, "On February 5, 1971, Alan Shepard and I landed our Lunar Module "Antares" on the Moon at Fra Mauro, during mankind's third lunar-landing mission.
To commemorate this milestone, I personally carried the accompanying 4 x 6 inch American Flag with me in my Lunar Module "Personal Preference Kit" bag.
This flag then remained stowed within the "Antares", and it's one-sixth lunar-gravity environment, as Alan Shepard and I completed our exploration of the Moon's surface.
To uniquely identify this flag for future generations, I have personally inscribed it as having been flown to the lunar surface aboard the "Antares", and then signed it.
During the Apollo program, it was NASA's policy to allow astronauts to keep both personal effects, and disposable equipment from their missions, as personal mementos to do with as they wished.
This Lunar Surface Flag has been a valued part of my personal space collection since 1971, when it was presented back to me by NASA upon its release from lunar quarantine.
