Description
- FROM THE APOLLO SPACECRAFT - The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was the first joint U.S.-Soviet space flight, and the last flight of an Apollo spacecraft. The flight launched in July 1975, and was the last manned US space mission until the first Space Shuttle flight in April 1981.
- A BEACON OF ADVENTURE - This photograph shows the Apollo spacecraft being recovered in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1975 after traveling over 3.5 million miles. In total, the spacecraft flew 136 orbits around the earth during its nine-day mission.
- SPACE FLOWN RELIC - This photograph is matted to include a piece of flown Kapton relic. This pressure-sensitive Kapton polyimide tape was part of the spacecraft's thermal protection subsystem and was removed from the heat shield after splashdown.
- PROFESSIONALLY FRAMED - A historical, real image of the Apollo-Soyuz and a stunning relic deserve to be displayed in an immaculate encasement, that's why they are professionally mounted behind glass inside of a wooden frame.
- BRING THE MUSEUM HOME - The uniqueness and professional craftsmanship of this piece will make people think that you've got a museum piece in your home! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but with this beautiful image and relic you'll have many conversations to come.
