DESCRIPTION

Apollo 7 Space Flown Cable Segment: The flown material contained within this lucite is Camera Cable used to power an onboard 16mm Data Acquisition Camera. This gold-plated, shielded cable segment was part of a larger cable that would have had electrical connections at each end. The original cable came with a ''Temporary Parts Removal Tag", which reads: Part Number "V36-421315", Serial/Lot Number "06362-AAH6083".

NWA 10203 Moon Rock: The moon is constantly hit by meteorites and with no atmosphere and little gravity the larger impacts eject lunar rocks into space. After this impact, this meteorite will eventually be brought down to Earth by the Earth's gravitational pull. Scientists and universities all around the world examine meteorites and compare them with known lunar material, e.g. samples collected during the Apollo missions. The composition of gases and isotopes found is so unique that they can say for sure the material originated from the moon. The encased meteorite was acquired from Meteorite Hunter and Discovery Channel's ''Meteorite Men'' T.V. Star, Steve Arnold.
