S-1B or Saturn V Large S-IVB Panel Section

Lot #161 (Sale Order 163 of 514)

A large 7 foot high by 12.5 feet long panel S-IVB stage section off an S-1B rocket or off a Saturn V third stage. Its diameter, if it was complete, was calculated to about 21.5" feet, which would make it the above. Hardware expert Scott Schneeweis has been able to add the following to the description: It's a part of an S-IVB aft skirt, but the S-IVB was flown on both the S-1B and the Saturn V with slightly different configurations (the differences extend to the aft skirt as well). I cannot determine from the photos which of the two Saturn variants this skirt subassembly was intended for, so it could be either. However, it can be seen where the umbilical plate was located (it's to the very right of the photo with the matrixed holes) - this is the point at which the LUT swing arm mated to the stage. The winning bidder will make shipping arrangements independent of this auction. The Saturn panel is located in Orlando and there are many shipping companies there that can send it anywhere in the world. I will provide contact information upon request.

KSC Lunar Module Simulator Patch, Rare

Lot #173 (Sale Order 175 of 514)

An original and vintage 3"x 5" KSC Gemini Mission Simulator (GMS) and Lunar Module Simulator (LMS) patch - I know of only two in existence. It has a bare cloth backing and is missing a small bit of edge felt from either being sewn onto a jacket or from insects. It consists of a blindfolded eagle, a representation of the moon, a data stream and bit bucket, and a red bar (bar sinister). As explained to me by the head instructor at the LMS, the interpretation of the symbols is a bit difficult, but it basically means that we fly the world blindfolded (the simulators), in order to land on the moon, using a data stream and bit bucket. The bar sinister (red bar) represents that the KSC team was a secondary outfit compared to the Houston setup (in their mind at the time), and the data stream represents the punch tape used to load the computers at the simulators. Punch tape was only used during the Gemini simulations, leading me to believe this patch was designed at that time, but still used during the LM period. Extremely rare.
