Skylab Program, 1976, Astronaut Tape Recordings & Signed Releases. Lot of six different internal NASA memorandum, individually hand-signed by astronauts Bean, Carr, Lousma Garriott, Gibson and Brand. The memos constitute signed releases generally acknowledging receipt by the astronaut of the "tapes made by NASA of the astronaut's private conversations with his family" during their flights. Interesting and a sign of how careful NASA was to protect the astronauts. Unique.
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
Ex. the Donald "Deke" Slayton Estate collection.

APPROACH & LANDING TEST, 1978, FLOWN UNITED STATES FLAG (6x9") This flag is attached to a multicolor NASA presentation sheet (11x14") that reads, in part: "This flag was flown aboard the Orbiter 101 during the Approach and Landing Tests." The astronaut autographs are printed (Haise, Fullerton, Engle and Truly) but the signature from NASA Headquarters and the date are hand-signed. Unusual thus. The Approach & Landing Tests (ALT) were the forerunner tests for the Shuttle Program to test the flight worthiness of the Shuttle. The certificate is slightly toned from having been on display, but this flown flag is seldom available.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
Ex. the NASA Administrator Jerry Hammack Estate collection.
