Apollo 11: Exceptionally Large Segment of Flown Thermal Mylar Film Coating "Kapton Foil". This 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 (currently on a two year tour of American cities) The mylar film coating provided thermal protection for the Command Module. Once returned to Earth, thermal coating was easily removed from the spacecraft and very often used for presentation purposes usually entombed in lucite. This is a nice large segment 1¾ x 8" in clear mylar sleeve where one can clearly see the heat stress. Comes with exceptional provenance and COA. Rare. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
