APOLLO SPACE SUIT BETA CLOTH SEGMENT

Apollo Space Suit Material. A segment of Beta cloth material, approximately one inch inch square. Mounted onto an 11 x 8 inch display certificate with images of Astronaut Charles Duke posing in his space suit and exploring the lunar surface. Sample number 707 of 2500.

The certificate reads in part: "Beta cloth was one of the several different layers that comprised the outer cover of the Apollo space suit. The material provided a nonflammable, high-temperature flame barrier... It was utilized for space flight as a result of the 1967 Pad 34 Apollo 1 (AS-204) spacecraft fire."
