Apollo 11
Hand Signed American Flag

1969
soft woven textile, ink
12.25 x 7.75 inches

This object is a small American flag bearing multiple handwritten signatures associated with the Apollo 11 mission, the first crewed lunar landing conducted by the United States space program. The flag is executed in a soft woven textile, producing a pliable surface well suited to ink inscription and distinct from heavier utilitarian flags intended for outdoor display. Such signed flags functioned as commemorative objects marking a singular technological and cultural milestone of the 20th century, linking national symbolism with human space exploration. The visible signatures and intimate scale situate the flag within the broader tradition of astronaut-signed presentation and souvenir material generated around the Apollo era.
