NASA Mercury 7 Mission Recovery Liberty Bell Official Patch Gus Grissom Capsule

Description

This auction is for 1 (One) commemorative NASA patch. It is an official Recovery Patch from the Support & Preservation Team of Curt Newport.
History:
After 38 years at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Canaveral, Florida, Gus Grissom's
Mercury
space capsule was reeled in Tuesday by an underwater salvage team and lifted aboard ship.
Among the items found inside: seven Mercury dimes the astronaut carried into space as souvenirs. The recovery, delayed a few days by technical problems, coincidentally came on the 30th anniversary of man's first moon landing. And it was just one day shy of the 38th anniversary of Grissom's 15-minute suborbital flight aboard Liberty Bell 7, which made him the second American in space. Expedition leader Curt Newport, who spent the past 14 years searching for the capsule, was weary yet fulfilled.
