Apollo 13 Flown Robbins Medal

Flown Apollo 13 Robbins Medal, approximately 1.25 diameter, with a raised design on the face of the Apollo 13 mission insignia. The reverse of the sterling silver medal is engraved with the full names of astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert, along with spacecraft names Aquarius and Odyssey, the April 11, 1970, launch date, and April 17, 1970, return date. This medal is serial numbered “25.” Condition is mint state and the medallion is encapsulated in a plastic NGC holder and graded MS65. Accompanied by an ALS from Jack Swigert, one page, 7 x 8.75, January 4, 1977. In part: “Apollo 13 was a memorable experience for me. And I hope this Medallion which we carried aboard our spacecraft will bring you the same good fortune Apollo 13 did for me.” ALS in fine condition, with mild intersecting folds (one passing through a single letter of the signature). Flown Robbins Medals are among the most sought after space collectibles, and this, with a vintage letter of provenance from Swigert—a rarity in itself—is one of the most interesting pairings we have seen. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA

RR Auction Apollo 13 Flown Two Sided Checklist Page Signed James Lovell and Fred Haise

Flown two-sided checklist page from the Apollo 13 “LM Malfunction Procedures” handbook, 7.5 x 10.5, identified as page 15 and 16, titled at the top, “LMA790-3-LM, Apollo Operations Handbook,” signed in black ballpoint, “Fred Haise, Apollo 13 LMP,” and “James Lovell, Apollo 13 CDR.” The handbook from which this page originates was stowed aboard the Lunar Module Aquarius during the dramatic Apollo 13 aborted moon landing mission of April 1970. This page comes from the Abort Guidance System (AGS) section of the checklist, and details the flow-charted procedures to be carried out in the event of an abnormal response from the LM's Data Entry and Display Assembly (DEDA). In fine condition. Accompanied by a CD with thorough documentation evidencing the chain-of-ownership of the page as part of the complete checklist, as well as images of each page of the manual as flown. The checklist originated from the personal collection of James Lovell. After the explosion on Apollo 13 crippled the Service and Command Modules, the Lunar Module served as an unexpected ‘lifeboat’ for the astronauts during their return to Earth. Flown artifacts from this popularized mission are rarely available; the associations of this checklist page with Apollo 13 malfunction procedures and the LM Aquarius make it an especially desirable piece.
