Medium Segment of Kapton Foil
<B>Medium Segment of Apollo 11 Flown "Kapton Foil" from Buzz Aldrin's Personal Collection.</B></I> Measures approximately 4" x 2.75". A medium-sized piece of delicate kapton foil from the Apollo 11 Command Module <I>Columbia.</B></I> This foil played the critical role of reflecting the sun's intense heat away from the space craft as it re-entered earth's atmosphere. Due to the delicate nature of the material, most of the foil burned off of <I>Columbia.</B></I> Small pieces survived and were salvaged. Space flown Kapton foil, especially from the Apollo 11 mission, is rare and desirable for framed displays. This segment of kapton foil would look fantastic in such a display. <I>From the personal collection of Dr. Buzz Aldrin and accompanied by a signed Letter of Authenticity from him.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>) <BR><BR><B>Important notice:<
