I thought fellow Apollo 11 artifact collectors might be interested in seeing an item I recently acquired. It’s a piece of Kapton foil with the RTV that was used to secure it on the Command Module in a Command Module shaped lucite similar to the lucites that North American Aviation made. It almost looks like it was made by one of the NAA employees with the typed paper inside, but if it was it used the same Command Module shaped Lucite that the 'official' lucites used.
I also like that it has foil with RTV; most Kapton foil Lucites don’t have the RTV.
The back of the lucite has a felt pad and it's mounted to a 5.25 inch by 4.75 inch piece of lucite. This is the first time I have seen a display like this.
If any member of collectSPACE has a similar item and/or knows the history of this item please let me know. Thanks.
