Two items: Apollo 8 commemorative medallion, approximately 1.5 x 1.5, with a raised design of the face of the crew in profile along with their names and mission dates. Affixed to an 8 x 10.5 memo on John F. Kennedy Space Center, NASA letterhead, dated July 9, 1969, and sent to “All KSC Employees” that reads in part: “This medallion commemorates the Apollo 8 mission. It is made of aluminum, part of which came from metal that the Apollo 8 Commander, Frank Borman, took to the moon and back especially for this purpose…This is a token of appreciation from the astronauts and NASA for your contribution to the team effort that assured the success of the historic Apollo 8 mission”; and an Apollo 11 commemorative medallion, 1.25 x 1.5. with a raised design of Buzz Aldrin on the moon. Affixed to a 11 x 8.5 presentation page that reads in part: “This Medallion contains metal from spacecrafts, Columbia and Eagle, that took Astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins on their historic Apollo 11 mission that resulted in the first landing of man on the Moon.”

Space Shuttle Columbia STS-107 Robbins Medal, approximately 1.5 x 2 with a raised design on the face of the mission insignia, and the mission and astronauts’ names.

Serial numbered “289” around the edge. Normal condition.
