    Description

    Apollo 10 flown heat shield from command module.
    A piece of flown heat shield encased in acrylic. There is a slight chip on the top of the acrylic but otherwise in excellent shape for an object over 50 years old. I have been collecting rare space program collectibles for way over a decade. I always will tell you if there is any defects. Apollo 10 was the practice mission prior to Apollo 11 the first mission which took a man to the moon and returned him safely back to earth. The Avco company made the heat shields which kept the astronauts safe at reentry speed of 24,760 MPH . Thank you and good luck. This item will be sent insured.
