Apollo
14 Flown LM Transfer Bag Swatch Closeup
|
This
artifact is a presentation of a swatch from the flown lunar module
transfer bag from Apollo 14.
After the flight of Apollo 14 several of these were produced to award
the troops that worked on the flight simulators. A LM transfer bag
retrieved after the flight was cut into 1" squares and affixed to the
photo with the inscription: "This
Piece of Material From the LM
Transfer Bag Flown on Apollo
14, Jan. 31-
Feb. 9, 1971."
The Earth To The Moon Air & Space Museum
acquired this artifact through an eBay auction on March 8, 2000.
The seller of this item was employed by NASA for 30 years. During
that employment he was involved in Flight Crew Training at the Kennedy
Space Center. In that capacity, he operated the flight simulators
used to train the crews fro Gemini and Apollo Missions.
Supporting these simulators led to face-to-face contact with the
Astronauts. |
