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 15 Robbins Medal Flown
Apollo 15 (July 26, 1971 – August 7, 1971) was the ninth crewed mission in the United States’ Apollo program and the fourth to land on the Moon. It was the first J mission, with a longer stay on the Moon and a greater focus on science than earlier landings. Apollo 15 saw the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle.
Apollo 15 Robbins Medal, serial number 118. Extraordinarily rare medal is one of just 127 flown from a batch of 304 minted. Due to a misprint of the word “apennines” on reverse side, most (177) of the medals were sent back to the manufacturer and could not be redone before the spacecraft’s launch, leaving only the 127 with the correctly printed word to make the flight. Medal features mission insignia of a trio of left-facing flight symbols upon a stylized lunar surface ground. The astronauts’ surnames are inscribed to the border underneath and “Apollo 15” is inscribed at top center. Reverse features a motto, “‘Man’s Flight Through Life Is Sustained By The Power Of Knowledge’”, surrounding “Apollo 15 / Falcon / Endeavor” with dates engraved to fields under each. The name of the mission’s landing site on the moon “Hadley / Appennines” appears beside the middle item. At upper left is a winged propellor symbol. The rim is engraved “Sterling” and with the serial number. Measures nearly 1.5″ in diameter and weighs 20 grams or 0.75 ounces. Scratching to center symbol, else fine.
