    Description

    Genuine fragment of the gold Kapton foil that covered the outside of the Apollo 13 command module, Odyssey, as part of the thermal protection system. This fragment flew around the moon and back to earth as part of the Apollo 13 mission.
    The fragment is attached to
    a gorgeous 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" certificate of authenticity describing the history of the fragment. A blue rubber stamp giving a brief history of the Kapton fragment has been applied to the certificate. The fragment is in the center of this rubber stamp impression and is covered by a thin, clear, plastic, adhesive disk to protect the Kapton.
    This fragment was left over from a larger piece used by a NASA employee to make a presentation display as you can see from the COA.
    On the certificate is also a copy of the original parts removal tag indicating that the material to be removed is "Crew Compartment Heat Shield Mylar, C/M 109".
    Each one of these fragments will measure about 1/4" on its longest side.
    I've placed a ruler under the fragment to give you an idea of the size. The ruler is in one inch divisions.
    You know the Apollo 13 story, you've seen the movie...now you can own an authentic piece of the Apollo 13 command module spacecraft that flew around the moon.

    FREE Gift With All Foreign (non-U.S.) Orders!!! I use eBay's Global Shipping Program to ship all non-US orders. I'm concerned that if I include the limited edition described above, you'll be charged for extra shipping weight (it weighs 6 ounces). So I'm going to send all non-U.S. orders of

    size, one of my full color Brooklyn Bridge certificates (eBay item #303562420022) at NO COST to you. That only weighs one ounce, so it should cause no problem. ***
