FS: MOL 50th anniv. commemorative patches

From 1963 until its cancellation in 1969, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) directed an effort to operate a manned platform in low Earth orbit to perform reconnaissance of our adversaries. Seventeen military pilots were chosen to train for a series of two man missions between 1970 and 1975. When the program was canceled, the men younger than 35 years of age were given the opportunity to transfer to NASA becoming Group 7 in 1969. All later flew during the Space Shuttle Program.

Design 1 (8 inches) and 2 (the 5 inch version) pay tribute to the MOL emblem and the only launch in the program. Test flight OPS 0855 for MOL was launched on Nov. 3, 1966 at 13:50:42 UTC on a Titan IIIC-9 from Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 40. The flight consisted of a MOL mockup built from a Titan II propellant tank and the refurbished Gemini 2 spacecraft as a Gemini B prototype.

Design number 3 is my revised and updated 8 inch MOL Commemorative originally issued in 2008.

These designs were created by Tim Gagnon of Titusville, FL and Jorge Cartes of Madrid, Spain.
