In anticipation of a possible emergency landing or mission abort, each spacecraft was equipped with a series of emergency/survival rucksacks. This combination flashlight was an important part of each rucksack. It has a flashlight, compass, mirror, four fishing hooks, needles and a knife blade. It is made of grey-painted steel with brass fittings, and was made for NASA by ACR Electronics.

This flashlight was flown on Apollo 15 in 1971 and was transferred from NASA to NASM in 1978.
