Chris Gillman of Orbital Surplus has created a limited edition, full-scale working Apollo command module hatch replica. Hatch details are accurate to the post flight Apollo 11 hatch now in the National Air and Space Museum. All hatches are custom finished to the customers choice of exterior finish, level of aging and display options. Wall mount or floor display. Both display stand options allow the hatch to be fully rotated for choice of interior or exterior display. Exterior finishes use real Aluminized Kapton (when applicable) that is the same material as flown on the Lunar missions. For low Earth orbit, Skylab missions, the exterior was painted white. Exterior finish available in the following options: - As launched, Lunar Mission – Aluminized (Mirror) Kapton covered, with graphics
- As Launched, Skylab – White painted exterior, with graphics
- Post Flight, Lunar Mission (shown) – with burnt Kapton and damaged graphics.
- Post Flight, Skylab – with burn marks on damaged white surface and damaged graphics.
- Post flight, cleaned surface (As displayed in most museums) No graphics.
