FLOWN ON GEMINI 10. HEAT SHIELD SEGMENT IN LUCITE
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:15620790 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
Type: Flown collectible |
The heat shield section is 0.5" square x 1.75" long, sealed in a 3" diameter x 2.5" tall acrylic cylinder with "GEMINI X/ JULY 18-21, 1966" engraved on the bottom. There is a small chip, visible in the photographs, on the top surface. Otherwise the acrylic is untouched. I bought this several years ago at a Heritage.com and have kept it in the box since. I must now sell it to help pay my daughte...rs' college tuition.
Gemini X was John Young's second (of six) space flights, his first in command. Michael Collins accompanied him as pilot.
