What is kapton foil?
With one side silver and the other gold, Kapton foil protected the Command Module from the extreme radiation of deep space. It is a common misconception that the gold side of the foil was directly exposed to deep space. It was, in fact, the silver side that was directly exposed to deep space, with the gold side facing inward toward the spacecraft.
What is heatshield?
Heatshield was used to protect the Command Module from the extreme heat of reentry and was composed of a fiberglass honeycomb, integrated with a phenolic resin and bonded with an epoxy-based adhesive to a cleaned, stainless steel shell. The heatshield was designed to withstand temperatures in excess of 3200°C. Each Command Module was protected by approximately 370,000 manually-filled honeycomb cells. North American Aviation performed this task.
What is thermal foil?
Thermal foil was attached to the Aft, Forward, and Main sections of the Command Module and protected the crew compartment and temperature-sensitive sections of the spacecraft from the extreme temperatures of deep space. The thermal foil contained within this booster pack came from the Aft section of the Apollo 8 Command Module.
The Space Series (2nd Gen):
Our exclusive second-generation Space Series brings you genuine material that was either flown in space aboard or as part of a NASA spacecraft, such as the Apollo Command Module, Space Shuttle, and more.
Each piece of flown material is guaranteed as authentic and comes protected in an acrylic display case bearing the mission insignia and authentication information on the reverse; and is also accompanied by a high-quality, collectible authenticity information card. Your booster packs will also arrive in a biodegradable, compostable sealed bag (because in this day and age we can have nice things and keep our planet clean and safe at the same time).
Through this incredible collectors series, you will be able to collect, study and enjoy owning genuine spaceflight history. So why not start your journey in owning genuine space flown material from some of NASA's most iconic spacecraft today?
Take your space enthusiasm to the next level and collect the whole series!
