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.

Apollo 10 Flown Robbins Medal

Apollo 10 (May 18–26, 1969) was a human spaceflight, the fourth crewed mission in the United States Apollo program, and the second (after Apollo 8) to orbit the Moon. It was the F mission: a “dress rehearsal” for the first Moon landing, testing all the components and procedures just short of actually landing. While astronaut John Young remained in the Command Module orbiting the Moon, astronauts Thomas Stafford and Gene Cernan flew the Apollo Lunar Module (LM) to a descent orbit within 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km) of the lunar surface, the point where powered descent for landing would begin. After orbiting the Moon 31 times, Apollo 10 returned safely to Earth, and its success enabled the first actual landing (Apollo 11) two months later.

Space-flown Apollo 10 Robbins medal, serial number 26. Medal is one of just 300 flown on the mission, which served as a trial run of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission.

Insignia is cast in relief and depicts the lunar surface supporting a giant Roman numeral “X” with spacecraft flying about with Earth visible in the background. Flat reverse is engraved, “May 18-26, 1969 / [serial number] 26 / Sterling r”. Measures slightly over 1″ across and 1.25″ in height. Weighs 14 grams. Housed in original case with serial number sticker on underside. Tarnishing to reverse of coin and disintegration to foam inside case, else near fine.
