Gemini Spacecraft Attitude Control Panel

Lot # 41 (Sale Order: 42 of 519)      

A 5½"x 6½" Attitude Control lightweight metal panel removed from the Gemini Mission Simulator, presumedly due to a minor switch nomenclature change for a later mission.

Heavily used in training by all the early Gemini astronauts, it does show some wear from that fact. Gemini artifacts such as this are quite rare. ESTIMATED VALUE: $750-$1000...more
