Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B] [QUOTE]Originally posted by nasamad: [b]Take a look at lot 1236, I have NEVER seen anything flown this big in an auction![/b][/QUOTE] An addendum now notes that this did not fly: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Unflown. Rather, this particular Command Module docking ring is a structural engineering component used during post-flight testing to determine the reasons for the probe's initial failures. It would seem that NASA recreated the conditions involved with the probe failure using a mixture of flown and unflown components. This ring was linked in NASA and NASM documents to several other components also associated with spacecraft 110 (Kittyhawk) that normally would have been jettisoned during flight. The flown CM docking ring, the twin of this one, remained with the ascent stage of the Lunar Module Antares when it was jettisoned. Antares was then deliberately crashed into the moon's surface to simulate a "moonquake."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> [/B][/QUOTE]
