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.

Jack Swigert’s 14K Gold Robbins Medal Flown Aboard Apollo 13 — One of Only 2 Given to Each Astronaut

Jack Swigert’s personally owned Robbins medal struck in 14K gold, flown aboard Apollo 13 where he famously reported, ”Houston, we’ve had a problem.” Unlike the silver Robbins medals which number over 400 for the Apollo 13 mission, this very scarce gold Robbins medal is one of only six given to the three astronauts on the mission, with each astronaut receiving two, intended for him and his wife. Like the silver Robbins medals, the original gold medals taken on the space flight were melted down and re-struck with the new design, without the landing date and with Swigert’s name replacing Ken Mattingly. Medal depicts mission insignia, including the name of the mission, three of Apollo’s chariot horses flying toward the Moon, and the slogan ”Ex Luna, Scientia” (from the moon, knowledge). Verso lists the crew members, space modules, and engraved dates of launch and return, as well as ”14K r”. Unlike the silver medals, the gold medals were not serialized but it’s known that only six were produced. Gold medal measures 1.25” in diameter, housed in its original plastic box. In lustrous, near fine condition. From the estate of Jack Swigert and with an LOA from his sister.

Update to description: Up to two gold Robbins medals were made available to each member of the flight crew for purchase, but not every astronaut bought two, so the rarity of this Apollo 13 gold Robbins medal might be scarcer than 1 of 6. Sold for $31,608.

Exceptionally Scarce Apollo 11 Flag Flown to the Moon Signed by Buzz Aldrin

Stunning United States flag flown to the moon on Apollo 11 during the historic 1969 mission.

ARMSTRONG — COLLINS — ALDRIN.” Printed along the bottom edge are the first words by Neil Armstrong after stepping upon the moon: ”One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The silk United States flag measures 6” x 4” and is mounted to the NASA certificate, which measures 10” x 12”. A beautiful unsigned Apollo 11 flag flown to the moon. Fine.  Sold for $21,013.

Buzz Aldrin’s A6L Spacesuit Glove — Worn by Aldrin in 1968 During Training for the Apollo 11 Mission

Buzz Aldrin’s A6L spacesuit glove, worn by Aldrin in 1968 during training for the Apollo 11 mission. Made by International Latex Corp., the A6L spacesuit modified the existing A5L suit by adding an integrated thermal and micrometeroid cover layer. After the Apollo I fire, the A6L was further improved with fire-resistant capability, becoming the A7L which the astronauts wore during the Apollo missions. 

Blue and black glove has an integrated label sewn into the glove specifying ”E. ALDRIN” for size, with the date of ”4/68”. ”NASA” is typed above the ILC manufacturer’s name. Other information, such as Serial, Model and Contract Numbers are also typed in, with the Item line reading ”SPEC. CP 2001 / GLOVE ASSEMBLY / PRESSURE PGA LEFT / A6L-103000-09”. A brown velcro and metal strap at the base of the fingers allows for size adjustment. Glove stands on its hard base, designed to screw into the adjoining portion of the spacesuit. Measures 9” tall x 4.5” wide. A few loose strings and some wear to to the material covering the fingers, but overall in very good plus condition, excellent for display. Sold for $17,840.

Apollo 14 Flag Flown to the Moon and Taken to The Lunar Surface — Personally Owned and Signed by Moonwalker Edgar Mitchell — With COA Stating “…Alan Shepard and I landed our Lunar Module ‘Antares’ on the Moon…I personally carried the accompanying…Flag with me…”

Apollo 14 American flag flown to the moon and carried upon its lunar surface by astronaut Edgar Mitchell (and scarce as such). Flag is also signed by Mitchell, the lunar module pilot of Apollo 14 who spent nine hours working on the lunar surface in the Fra Mauro Highlands region and becoming the sixth person to walk on the Moon. Accompanied by signed COA, dated 22 May 2006 which reads, “This is to certify that the accompanying — Apollo 14 Lunar Surface American Flag — was proudly carried by me aboard our Lunar Module ‘Antares’ to the Moon’s surface. This flag then remained stowed within the ‘Antares’, and it’s [sic] one-sixth lunar-gravity environment, as Alan Shepard and I completed our exploration of the Moon’s surface. To uniquely identify this flag for future generations, I have personally inscribed it as having been flown to the lunar surface aboard the ‘Antares’, and then signed it. During the Apollo program, it was NASA’s policy to allow astronauts to keep both personal effects, and disposable equipment from their missions, as personal mementos to do with as they wished. This Lunar Surface Flag has been a valued part of my personal space collection since 1971, when it was presented back to me by NASA upon its release from lunar quarantine.” Signed boldly “Edgar Mitchell”. Nylon flag measures 6.25″ x 4″ with “Flown to the Lunar Surface aboard Antares — Feb 5, 1971 / Edgar Mitchell Apollo 14 LMP” written in blue pen on the white stripes of the flag. Both flag and COA are in fine condition. Owned by Mitchell since the completion of Apollo 14. Sold for $17,500.
