PRE-ORDER (estimated arrival 3 to 4 weeks):

Apollo 13 Lunar Module Flown Lucite. The flown material is Beta cloth from the stowage assembly, used to cover wires inside the LM, and was acquired from William Looney, LM Test Manager at Grumman (COA below).

The lucite is 12 cm wide, 7 cm high and 3 cm thick, and the encased triangle material is approx. 2 cm by 1.2 cm by 1.2 cm.

Comes with a very nice, custom display box along with an 8 page booklet. The booklet contains the COA, images and descriptions of the mission as well as a detailed chronology of events surrounding the Apollo 13 explosion.

$250 + Shipping. Email me with questions and orders.

Page from the booklet:

This is a cS member exclusive price by the way, they will be at least $300 when live on the site.

Saw this item sell on eBay a few weeks back and had a few question about your new display.
  1. Are there any red serial numbers on the net or straps like these examples from Apollo 11?

  2. Are the sections in your lucite cut from the large net or the small straps down in the corner of the photo?

Thanks for the Q. The sections of netting/beta I received did not have the red markings in your image, but the material I received was already cut up (as you can see in the photo) during the making of the Grumman Employee Awards, meaning the tag would have been cut off as well.

I've been asked this a few times now so I'll answer here.

There are 50 acrylics being made as we speak, they are not serialized. There may be more acrylics made in future, but for the moment the plan is for 50 only.

12 have already sold.

These are going quite quickly, if anyone wants one please let me know - even if you can't pay straight away, I will still put one to one side for you.

Only 3 left for cS members - the rest have been reserved.

If you want one at $250 instead of $300, now is the time!

If you can't pay straight away that is fine, I'll still put your name down for one.
