Description
Ex. Alan Bean
Apollo 12 Lunar Module Flown Sterling Silver SNAP 27 RTG Tie
Tack, from Alan Bean's Personal Collection, with Certificate of
Authenticity. This tie tack depicts a Systems Nuclear Auxiliary
Power Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator with the moon in the
background, approximately 0.5" x 0.625" in overall size with
"Sterling" and "G.E.-NSP" on the back. These plutonium-238 powered
devices were carried to the moon on the final five lunar modules to
power the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Packages. Even years
later, data was still being transmitted back to earth, powered by
the SNAP 27s. Includes a glossy color photo print of Bean putting
Plutonium 238 fuel into the SNAP 27 RTG on the lunar surface.
Excellent. From the estate of Moonwalker and Artist Alan
Bean.
