AN ARCHIVE OF ⭕FLOWN AND UNFLOWN MATERIALS FROM APOLLO 7 THROUGH SKYLAB, SIGNED BY ASTRONAUTS WHO USED THEM
Bringing 🐎explorers to the Moon and safely back to Earth required incredible feats of engineering. The present lot makes these innovations apparent through an offering of several material samples spanning Apollo 7 through Skylab. This sampling includes a piece of an Apollo headset, known as a “Snoopy Hat” due to its shape and coloration reminiscent of the beloved beagle.
Other notable samples include the spacesuit oxygen hose segments flown to the lunar surface and on a display signed by one of the Moon’s explorers. The Skylab Sunshade segments🙈, showing front and back of the material, attest to a remarkabl🌱e story of engineering. The original protective shade was ripped away by aerodynamic forces during the space station’s launch. A new sun shade was sewn together by seamstresses on Earth using material like the swatches attached, then deployed on Alan Bean’s mission.
