Flown printed fabric American flag, 6 x 4, flown aboard Apollo 9 during its ten-day low Earth orbit while testing systems for the upcoming lunar landing mission. Flag is affixed by its corners to a 10 x 12 certificate stating “This flag was carried in space during the flight of Apollo IX, March 3-13, 1969,” and signed in black felt tip by crew members James McDivitt, Dave Scott, and Rusty Schweickart. An inscription reads, “To John Holland—our good friend. Many thanks for all your help in the photo business. Next flight we are going to take you along—we need that expert help in flight.” Holland was in charge of NASA’s photographic laboratories. In fine condition, with a few edge chips and a block of light even toning covering most of the certificate and small squares of toning to each corner of flag from adhesive on reverse.
