Apollo 14 Space Lunar Flown Beta Cloth Artifact Relic Fragment NASA Moon

Description: This listing is for a piece of Beta Cloth which was flown to the moon on Apollo 14. The artifact measures approximately 1cm across, and it's been mounted to an 8x10" photo for display. This item also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity listing its provenance. This fabric originally belonged to the mission's Lunar Module Pilot, Edgar Mitchell. Mitchell stowed 50 Beta Cloth mission patches in his PPK bag onboard the spacecraft. After Apollo 14 successfully splashed down in the Pacific, the PPKs (and the astronauts) were placed in post-lunar quarantine for almost two weeks, as a precaution against the unlikely possibility that the lunar surface contained harmful pathogens. After the end of this quarantine, Mitchell kept the patches in his personal collection for almost 40 years. In 2008, he sold the patches in a numbered limited edition, which he certified as being carried onboard Apollo 14 around the Moon. This fragment came from Patch #50/50. Each Certificate of Authenticity will include photos of the original patch, along with photos of your specific piece being removed from it and added to the new display. It will also include a photo of Mitchell's original COA. I have several of these for sale, so you may not receive the exact item in the photos. But you will receive one of equivalent size, with a COA matching your individual artifact. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you for viewing this listing!
