Lot 144
Apollo 15, "Lunar Module Range/Rate Indicator" Gauge (mounted in clear lucite, about 4x5x6"). This unique gauge (P/N LSC-350-307-09, S/N 104) was removed from the M-6 test vehicle, a full-scale mockup of the LM interior as the result of the Apollo 15 LM crew finding the outer pane of glass on the flown Range/Rate Indicator gauge broken when the LM was entered for the first time during the mission. This unit was similarly broken after the flight for flammability testing to see if the presence of oxygen in the electrical circuitry of this gauge posed any fire risk to subsequent flights. Included in this lot are the testing gauge itself, a copy of the NASA testing report AND NASA 8x10" color glossy photos (x7) picturing this gauge in various stages of the test and in position in the LM. A unique piece of equipment and documentation. An important addition to any Apollo 15 or Lunar Module collection.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.
