PRICE SOLD


This segment of Apollo 13 Flown Couch Material measures 25mm x 26mm . And has been affixed to a 7 x 5 inch card hand signed by Apollo 13 crew - Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise.

The material came from one of the crew's couches in the Command Module, Oddyssey and is made from Armalon - 2 pieces of Beta Cloth impregnated with Teflon. The Apollo 13 crew presented these pieces of the material to key support personel as a thank you for their part in the mission, with the wording on the card reading, "A Piece of Odyssey’ CSM 109, Launched April 11, 1970, Splashdown April 17, 1970, Presented to (Blank), Launch Team Member, From the Apollo 13 crew. Thanks for a job well done!" -

This item is incredibly desirable not only because it contains the flown material, but also because it bares the signatures of the complete flown Apollo 13 crew, (rather than the original crew with CMP Ken Mattingly) - Signed by Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise. Plus the signature of the KSC launch director Walter Kapryan

Framed using archival materials below a 20x16 inch photo hand signed by Fred Haise, taken from the docked Lunar Module of the Apollo 13 Command Module as the two spacecraft swung behind the Moon during the Apollo 13 emergency. Includes two AB Emblem 4 inch patches.

Overall size approx 23.75 x 25.75 inches
