Sell Your Gemini Attitude Rotational Hand Controller

The Gemini Program followed the Mercury Program of the late 1950s and early 1960s and launched 12 two-person spacecrafts that orbited Earth between 1964 and 1966. The main objectives of the Gemini missions were to test the ability of spacecrafts to be maneuvered, understand the human effects from a prolonged time spent in space, improve the spacecraft’s re-entry and landing on Earth and orbit the Earth while docking with another spacecraft. Americans first walked in space during the Gemini missions and these missions helped pave way for the Apollo missions.

The Apollo 15 Hand Controller From Al Worden

As Al Worden, the Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot, puts it in the signed COA included with this hand controller, which is mounted on wood: “…this control stick cover, NASA serial number MSC 991-0001.12, was the hand controller I used during the flight of Apollo 15. The function of the hand controller was to adjust the attitude of the spacecraft during flight. For instance it was critical to the maneuver designed to withdraw the Lunar Module from the S-IVB stage of the launch vehicle once leaving earth orbit. This maneuver involved 180 degree rotation of the Command and Service Module to align with the Lunar Module in storage. It was also essential for the alignment of the spacecraft in the proper direction for any thrusting maneuver. This controller was essential to the success of Apollo 15 and has been in my possession since the flight.” In near fine condition. Sold for $72,556.
