Today Inside the Vault we’re bringing you a rare piece of Kapton Foil from the Apollo 11 moon mission. Kapton Foil is very thin thermal shield applied as a tape to the outside of the Apollo 11 Command Module. This reflective tape was designed to keep astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins safe from the extreme heat of re-entry through our atmosphere.
