Large 5.75 x 4.75 swatch of Kapton foil removed from the descent stage of the Lunar Module Eagle mere days before the historic launch of the Apollo 11 mission, signed in black felt tip, "Apollo XI, LM 5, Lee Brandt, Grumman," who served as the lead technician of Propulsion and Environmental controls for Grumman's lunar module support team at the Kennedy Space Center. The swatch is mounted and matted with a photo of the lunar module, signed in silver ink, "Apollo XI, 'Eagle,' Lee Brandt, Grumman," an Apollo 11 patch, and an engraved plaque, which reads: "This Kapton Foil was removed from Apollo 11's Lunar Module 'Eagle' during an emergency squib valve replacement by Grumman engineer Lee Brandt. At the time Apollo 11 was staged on Pad 39A for launch, Lee entered SLA where the Lunar Module was secure within the Saturn V rocket." Framed to an overall size of 13 x 19. In fine condition. Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Brandt.
