Description

Utility straps from the collection of the Apollo 14 CMP

Stuart A. Roosa's pair of blue and red utility straps, both 59.5″ in length, both terminating with a male-and-female button snap on one side and a swatch of Velcro on the other. These types of beta-cloth restraint straps were used by the Apollo 14 crew to secure items in place or keep them from floating away in zero gravity. Included with the straps is a business check filled out and signed by Stuart A. Roosa, whose handwriting appears to match the annotated part numbers to both straps: “084 - S/N A7L-1010 33-01” and “084 - S/N A7L-1010 33-02.” The flown status of these straps has not been determined. In overall fine condition.

Accompanied by a wooden display box, a vintage Apollo 14 crew postcard, and a notarized letter of authenticity from Roosa's daughter, who has also included a signed letter of authenticity, which certifies that “these items are authentic and are from Apollo 14 Astronaut Stuart ‘Stu’ Roosa.”
