Lot 16: FLOWN Skylab Gray Tape
This gray tape was flown during the duration of the Skylab Space Station and was used to seal the food overcans. Each overcan was approximately 15" long and contained about ten flip-top cans. The Astronauts would save the tape and use it for a variety of other jobs aboard Skylab.
This piece of gray tape was in space from May 14, 1973 to February 8, 1974 and flew over 100 million miles.
The tape is from Bill Pogue's personal collection and is approximately 1" by 0.5".
The gray tape is paired with a photo of Skylab and has been mounted and framed with archival methods.
