Description
Genuine Apollo Hardware
Apollo Command Module Pressure Window Assembly, North American
Aviation, 1964-1965. A substantial rectangular spacecraft
window assembly measuring approximately 18" × 17.5", machined from
stainless steel with integral bolt flange drilled for
cabin-pressure mounting and fitted with an internal acrylic
pressure pane retained by a red-orange gasket. The flange face
bears multiple North American Aviation (NAA) and government
contract identification marks, including: "V16-321424,"
"V16-321500-902," and "S/N 06362". Under NASA Contract NAS 9-150,
awarded in late 1961, North American Aviation's Space & Information
Systems Division (Downey, California) served as prime contractor
for the Apollo Command & Service Module and associated spacecraft
adapter, including the design and fabrication of the Command Module
pressure vessel, with primary activity during the early 1960s. A
genuine Apollo spacecraft pressure window assembly, complete with
visible North American Aviation serial and inspection marks, dated
1964-65, representing the engineering precision and manufacturing
heritage of the Command Module that carried astronauts to the Moon.
Pieces of Apollo crew-compartment hardware with intact
manufacturer's data are exceedingly scarce outside institutional
collections. This example, with its documented serials and early
production dates, is an exceptional artifact of Apollo spacecraft
development. Overall fine.
