LARGE Apollo 14 Lunar Module SURFACE FLOWN Artifact Fragment NASA Moon Space:
$149.00

This listing is for a piece of fabric which was flown to the moon on Apollo 14, and carried to the lunar surface onboard the Lunar Module Antares. The artifact measures approximately 2" across (about 400% larger than the standard pieces in my store), and it's been mounted to an 8x10" photo for display. The display photo features an image of Antares on the Moon, with this exact fabric stored inside. This item also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity listing its provenance.This fabric originally belonged to the mission's Command Module Pilot, Stuart Roosa. Roosa was close friends with a family named the Phillips, who owned Dos Arroyos Ranch at the time of the mission. As a gift for them, he had a unique flag custom-produced with the ranch's logo. This flag was folded and stored in his LEM Personal Preference Kit, where it was carried to the lunar surface while Roosa piloted the Command Module above. After Apollo 14 successfully splashed down in the Pacific, the PPKs (and the astronauts) were placed in post-lunar quarantine for almost two weeks, as a precaution against the unlikely possibility that the lunar surface contained harmful pathogens. After the end of this quarantine, Roosa had the Dos Arroyos flag framed and presented to the Phillips family. In 2023, they sold this flag in an sale hosted by Heritage, the world leader in space-related sales. The fabric for sale here was taken from this flag.The Certificate of Authenticity will include photos of the original flag, along with photos of your specific piece being removed from it and added to the new display. I've included a sample COA photo to this listing, showing what you can expect. The winner will receive the exact artifact in the photos, so please refer to those for a clear look at what you will receive. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you for viewing this listing!
