Apollo - Mission Patch Apollo VII

Another addition to my Apollo project. This is the mission patch for Apollo VII. You can see the original mission patch in the attachment.

About Apollo VII
The first Apollo mission to be launched into space.

Their mission was Apollo's 'C' mission, an 11-day Earth-orbital test flight to check out the redesigned Block II CSM with a crew on board. It was the first time a Saturn IB vehicle put a crew into space; Apollo 7 was the first three-person American space mission, and the first to include a live TV broadcast from an American spacecraft. It was launched on October 11, 1968, from what was then known as Cape Kennedy Air Force Station, Florida.

If you want to learn more about the Apollo-program, there are several biographies out there with amazing stories. Highly recommend Gene Kranz, Al Worden & Light This Candle.
