NASA MERCURY AURORA 7 FLOWN IN SPACE HEATSHIELD ARTIFACT - 10''x8'' Presentation

This artifact presentation contains a genuine piece of Mercury Aurora 7 space-flown heatshield. The photograph shows Astronaut Scott Carpenter climbing into his Aurora 7 spacecraft, before the launch of the Mercury-Atlas 7 (MA-7) Mission on May 24th, 1962.

- What is the heatshield?
Built of honeycombed aluminum with many layers of glass-fiber material, the heatshield would boil away as the Mercury capsule descended through the atmosphere. As the silica material (fiberglass) melted, it deposited a white residue on its surface, resembling icing.

- Authenticity
I offer a lifetime guarantee of authenticity and also a 30-day money-back guarantee. The memorabilia I sell comes from sources such as former NASA employees, top recognized space auctions, and even the Apollo astronauts themselves.
