Description
Removed from Odyssey
Apollo 13 Flown Heat Shield Ablative Plug #28 in Acrylic
Display, Directly from the Personal Collection of Fred Haise, with
Signed Letter of Authenticity. A 2.75" x 2.75" acrylic cylinder
containing a threaded plug from the aft heat shield with metal cap
and RTV O-ring intact. Engraved on the bottom is "APOLLO 13/ APRIL
11-17, 1970." The plug was removed from the Command Module
Odyssey after its return to Earth following the treacherous
flight. The number "28" is etched onto the metal cap signifying
which of the 59 bolts that attaches the heatshield to the
spacecraft it covered. These displays are coveted among collectors,
even more so coming from a crewmember of the mission they flew on.
Light surface scratches, overall very fine.
