Jim Irwin Autographs

Hi all, here is the latest newsletter from Moonpans.com

Apollo 13 Flown LM Netting

This is a piece of netting flown around the moon on the Apollo 13 mission. It was located in the Lunar Module to prevent objects from floating around, and was removed and transferred to the command module, just before the LM was jettisonned to burn up in Earths atmosphere.

Items from the Apollo 13 LM are very desirable and this piece is a good sized example

LRO Images the Apollo Landing Sites

These amazing photos taken by the Lunar Reconnaisssance Orbiter (LRO) show the closest ever orbital photos of the Apollo landing sites.

The Lunar Modules appear as a small white dot, but as the sun was at a low angle, their shadows are more prominent.







In the Apollo 14 image you can clearly see the tracks made by the Astronauts while they pulled their MET across the surface.

I have overlaid the Apollo 14 image over the Apollo 14 traverse map, and the features match exactly, with Doublet craters to the top left, and Triplet craters to the bottom right.
The LM and ALSEP also match up.

Cone Crater is not visible in this image, but is about 1 mile to the North East

Apollo 16 Flown Medalets

Hi all, here is the Moonpans.com newsletter for July

Apollo 16 Flown Medalets

We are very pleased to announce 2 fantastic limited editions of Apollo 16 flown collectibles.

The first of which are Apollo 16 Flown medalets, these are small metal Apollo 16 emblems, that were flown to Lunar Orbit on Apollo 16 and come from the personal collection of Commander John Young.

Whats great about these is that they are complete and intact flown items, that are under $1,000! Most Apollo flown items for under $1,000 are cut pieces of cloth, Kapton foil or small bits of heat shield. But these medalets are whole, and untouched, mint items.

They have been framed with a small Apollo 16 Moonpan, 2 patches and a brass plaque. And come with a numbered COA. These are being offered to list members first, and will then be offered worldwide, so if you want one you better be quick!
