Description
"Duplicate Of The LM Sublimator That Kept You Cool On Apollo 13"
Apollo Lunar Module Sublimator Presented to Fred Haise by
Hamilton Standard with Signed Letter of Authenticity. An
incredible piece of hardware that is identical to those used on
lunar landing missions. Measuring 12" x 8" x 3.75" and constructed
with a stainless steel exterior, the sublimator was crucial for
managing the spacecraft's thermal environment. The sublimator was
part of the LM's environmental control system. Its primary function
was to regulate the internal temperature of the Lunar Module by
dissipating excess heat generated by the astronauts and onboard
equipment. Affixed to the top is a metal plate that states: "Fred
Haise/ In Appreciation Of Your/ Participation In/ The Hamilton
Standard/ 'Open House'/ October 8 1978/ This Sublimator Is a
Duplicate/ Of The LM Sublimator That/ Kept You Cool On Apollo 13."
It is mounted to a 14.5" x 10" x 2" wooden base. An incredibly
unique item and the first of these that Heritage has offered.
Obtaining a piece of Lunar Module hardware directly from the
personal collection of a Lunar Module Pilot is a great opportunity.
Age related wear, very fine.
