Apollo 11: Flown Thermal Mylar Film Coating, "Kapton Foil,"Two Large Segments. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 Moon Landing, in the offer are two medium-large "Kapton" foil segments (officially GT-131 Thermal Control Coating Laminate) 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. One segment measures 6½ x 2" and the other 5¾ x 2¼" with heat stress and buckling clearly apparent. Comes with exceptional provenance and COA.
