    Description

    This is a NASA Apollo AS-201 Flown Large Heat Shield Segment in Vintage Acrylic.
    A section of ablative material removed from the CSM-009 heat shield and enclosed in a truncated space capsule-shaped display 3 ¾” x 3” x 1 ¾” in size and weighs about 4 ounces.
    The inside reads “Apollo Spacecraft 009 Ablator (18000 mph reentry 2-26-66)”.
    On the back are felt tabs so this could be used as a paperweight.
    As-201 was the first unmanned test flight of an entire Block I CSM with a Saturn IB launch vehicle.
    It appears to be in very nice condition with no visible damage (chips or cracks).
    Please see photos to help determine condition.
