Apollo 11: One (1) Medium Sized Segment of Flown Thermal Mylar Film Coating, "Kapton" Foil. One medium sized Kapton foil segment (officially GT-131 Thermal Control Coating Laminate) is from the Apollo 11 Command Module, "Columbia" which in 1969 carried Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins 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. This medium sized segment is 2 x 3" and is in a clear mylar sleeve where one can clearly see the heat stress and buckling. Comes with exceptional provenance and COA. Estimate Value $350 - UP
