Thanks to the overwhelming demand for our authentic "Piece of History" display collections, we are excited to introduce one of our very first “Piece of History” NASA patch display collections! This incredible Apollo astronaut “Piece of History“ display is professionally encased in a glass display case with plush padding and a tightly sealed display case. This display case is our large size and measures a perfect 8 inches tall x 6 inches wide.

This incredibly rare and very historic piece of NASA space history is an original “Apollo 15” astronaut mission match that was worn as well as given to astronauts and Mission Control personnel who played a role in the Apollo 15 mission and Lunar Rover Program.

Apollo 15, launched on July 26, 1971, marked a pivotal moment in lunar exploration with its focus on scientific discovery and technological innovation.

Commanded by David R. Scott, with Alfred M. Worden and James B. Irwin, the mission utilized the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) to traverse the Hadley-Apennine region, significantly expanding exploration range and enabling the collection of diverse lunar samples, including the "Genesis Rock."

Despite technical challenges, the mission's deployment of advanced scientific instruments provided crucial data on the Moon's magnetic field, thermal properties, and geological history. Apollo 15's extended stay on the lunar surface and its groundbreaking achievements paved the way for subsequent missions, leaving a lasting legacy in lunar science and space exploration.



We authenticate our piece of history at the micro level! During the authentication process sometimes we use high-res microscopes. In the last image of the listing, I included a few high-res images of the “Original Apollo 15 NASA 1971 Lunar Rover Landing Astronaut Mission Patch” that was done during this authentication process!

*In the last images of this listing, you will see two digitally sourced historical images of this item and its role in history!

This would make an amazing addition to any NASA, Apollo, or space history enthusiast collection.
