Description

Carried to the moon on Apollo 13

Flown embroidered President’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports patch carried on the Apollo 13 mission, measuring 3″ in diameter, lightly signed on the reverse in black felt tip, “James Lovell.” In fine condition, with poor contrast to signature due to the color and texture of the embroidery material. Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Lovell, in full: “The President’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports patch was flown on board the Apollo 13 Command Module Odyssey during its flight around the moon April 11–17, 1970. It was stored in the Commander’s Personal Preference Kit. The patch would have remained in Odyssey had we landed on the moon.” Pre-certified Zarelli Space Authentication.
