Apollo-Soyuz Test Project Flown Command/Service Module to Docking Module Umbilical Cord Directly from the Estate of NASA Legend Chris Kraft, on Wooden Plaque, with Certificate of Authenticity. A heavy-duty insulated cable, partially wrapped in Beta cloth, with a large multi-pin connector at each end, left side marked "P12/ DM", the right "P27/ CSM". The overall length (with bend, as mounted) is 12.75" long x 5". It is mounted to a 14" x 6.75" x 0.75" wooden plaque bearing an engraved plate reading:THIS CM-DM UMBILICAL UNITED THE SPACECRAFT ON THE APOLLO-SOYUZ FLIGHT AND IS PRESENTED TO DR.

Included with the lot is an original photocopy (with envelope) of a NASA Form 1180 titled "Request for ASTP Hardware" where a group of expendable ASTP flown components are requested to make plaques such as this one. The plaque is excellent with only a couple minor scratches. Document fine. A very rare piece from the last Apollo spacecraft to ever fly. This item was kept by Kraft in the west bookshelf of his office at home.
