Apollo 13: Two Scorched During Reentry Segments of Flown Thermal Mylar Film Coating, "Kapton Foil" with COA. Apollo 13: 2 flown scorched during reentry 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. Small segment is 1/2"x 3/4" and a rocket-shaped segment 4"x 4 1/2" with extreme 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 Corporation - Space Division Temporary Parts Removal Tag clearly stating "Crew Compartment Heat Shield Mylar, C/M 109" from which these were a part as well as an image of the segments.

The Dr. Max Kronstein 25 Year Collection of Postmarked Covers (15 Signed), Rocketry-ASTP. Famous for His Air Mails to the Moon, 595 Total. Dr. Max Kronstein, proved quite the early authority on Rocket Mail even publishing two histories; "Pioneer Airpost Flights of the World 1830-1935" and "Rocket Mail Post Flights of the World to 1986". This collection has just one piece of flown rocket mail, launched the same day as Apollo 16 on a RRI rocket (#508 of 575.) But what it does have is a remarkable collection of postmarked covers, all commemorative issues and many of his making with another philatelic expert in Austria. There are 17 signed covers including Moonwalkers Buzz Aldrin (with Zarelli LOA) Ed Mitchell (x2) Gene Cernan (x2) and Harrison Schmitt.

But Dr. Kronstein earned a highly publicized reputation for sending postmarked Air Mail covers addressed to astronauts on the moon as well as his friend and father of Rocket Mail, Friedrich Schmiedl. Ridiculous yes, but many postmasters played along with notations of not yet having set up delivery service on the lunar surface, most especially the postmaster in Krieglach, Austria. The lot has numerous examples of these pieces beginning with Neil Armstrong.

Collection includes: 9 Air Mails to the moon, 24 Schmiedl flight covers, 9 Gemini covers, 29 Apollo 1 covers, two Apollo 4 covers, 8 Apollo 5 covers, 6 Apollo 6 covers, 10 Apollo 7 covers, 19 Apollo 8 covers, 15 Apollo 9 covers, 16 Apollo 10 covers, 48 Apollo 11 covers, 20 Apollo 12 covers, 31 Apollo 13 covers, 74 Apollo 14 covers 43 Apollo 15 covers, 30 Apollo 16 covers, 76 Apollo 17 covers and 58 ASTP covers. Beautifully kept collection. Lots of material here worth previewing in person. Estimated Value $600 - 1,000
