This patch was printed in 1969 for the Apollo 11 mission.

After the tragic Apollo 1 launch pad fire that killed 3 astronauts, NASA decided to work on removing all flammable materials from the spacecraft cabin. A new material was designed for use as the outer layer of space suits made of teflon-coated fiberglass. This cloth was called Beta cloth and is still widely used for space suits and missions to this day.

By Apollo 7 even the embroidered patches, insignias, and name tags were replaced with screen printed Beta cloth patches.

These patches were production prints and/or test runs to align the screen printing layers. If you look closely, you can see some of the colors are misaligned. They were obtained from the company that manufactured the special inks used in this process. These patches would have been stitched onto the astronaut's suits and coveralls as shown in the image.

Product was as expected, very happy.

Really cool piece of memorabilia. Nicely packaged, quality display materials, fast shipping.

A Nice Collectible

This patch is well presented in its acrylic frame and looks great on a desk. For the money, it’s an interesting artifact of the Apollo era.

Great gift for serious NASA fans

This is a great piece of history - a surprising find! I gave it to my husband who immediately said "That's Beta cloth!" The magnetic display case is perfect.

Awesome item, husband loved it!

Beautiful Beta Cloth Patch, perfectly protected!

The item itself is awesome. My only complaint is the case it's in. It's magnetic so it's easy to open up the display. I wish it was screwed in so the cloth wouldn't move around but it's not to hard to recenter it.

Beyond Impressed

Not only is the item in Mint condition. The display is incredible thought out with magnets on all 4 corners enabling you to easily open and adjust the Beta cloths to get everything perfectly square and level to display. Also comes with a sack cloth to protect everything when transporting, and even some info on the piece itself which is great. Far exceeded my expectations and I look forward to purchasing more from Stemcell Science Shop in the near future

Product surpassed my Initial impressions when purchasing. The speed of shipping, The packaging of the item during shipping, Display of the item, the description card, and the canvas storage bag are all very impressive and well thought out. The Acrylic case surrounding the Beta Cloth is even magnetic at all 4 corners. So it's easy to open and adjust the patch and authenticity card to get everything perfectly square and level. I am more than impressed. Will be purchasing more items, Thank y'all!

Very cool addition to collection

Talking about a surprise... a piece of space history... very beautifully presented in an acrylic block and very... very carefully packaged... the moment you open the red 'rare scientific artifact' box... you have the feeling that as an employee of the British museum you are going to unpack a 5000 year old artefact...well done...very happy with my purchase from STEMCELL SCIENCE SHOP (points 11/10)

Beta cloth patch

Great item and great presentation!

Perfectly Presented

After waiting some time for these to be back in stock, I was ecstatic to find that a new batch was ready, and I am not disappointed. The presentation case is well thought out, alongside it's datacard. Exactly the item I hoped I would get!

Seller went above and beyond to help correct a shipping mistake (and most importantly got me the vintage patch in time!). Little info card gives much-needed context for this really cool item and picture frame helps keep it safe. In great condition. Gift was a hit! Thank you!

Perfect for my apollo memorabilia collection!

Wonderful addition to my Apollo Collection!

The beta cloth looks amazing in person and sits nicely right next to my foil slices I have
