Edgar Mitchell's section of electrical utility light cord flown in Earth orbit on the Apollo 9 Lunar Module Spider, measuring 6˝ long, terminating in a four-pin cannon plug, marked: "LSC390-8-400411." Affixed to a wooden 9˝ x 6˝ plaque with engraved presentation plate: "These items flown on Apollo IX, March 3–13, 1969, Presented to: Ed Mitchell." Within the protective Beta cloth cover is copper wire inside clear insulation, which was designed to power a small, portable utility light for the astronauts' use inside the Lunar Module. In fine condition, with tarnishing to the plaque. Selected as an astronaut as part of Group 5 in 1966, Mitchell's first assignment in the Apollo program was as part of the support crew for Apollo 9; it seems that he received this flown hardware presentation as a token of appreciation for his work in that role.
Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell.
