INSURANCE COVER 'TYPE 1' - A "NASA insurance cover type 1" refers to a specific type of Apollo insurance cover, a collectible philatelic item from the Apollo missions, particularly Apollo 11. This "Type 1" is characterized by the Manned Spacecraft Center Stamp Club (MSCSC) cachet featuring the astronauts on the Moon, with a July 20, 1969, postmark. These covers were left with astronaut families as a form of insurance, ensuring a tangible memento in the event of a mission tragedy.
