UPDATE: This display is prepared with museum grade acid free matting and archival glass.
Beautiful flown American flag that was carried aboard the Command Module America during the historic Apollo 17 mission. The flag, 5.5 x 4, is affixed to a presentation certificate signed by Kurt H. Debus, the first director of NASA's Launch Operations Center (later renamed as the Kennedy Space Center), and issued to “Robert Newall,” which reads: “Presented in appreciation of your role in the success of the Apollo Program. This flag was carried around the moon by the Apollo 17 Astronauts, December 10-14, 1972.” Robert Newall was the Saturn V First Stage Chief. Attractively and archivally double-matted and framed with a photo of CDR Gene Cernan holding the American flag on the moon to an overall size of 26.5 x 17.75. In fine condition. An attractive and patriotic reminder of America’s last lunar exploration.
