List of items smuggled into space

• Gemini 3 astronauts in 1965 brought a corned beef sandwich into orbit, which was widely publicized in the media. They were reprimanded by NASA officials.
• Soviet Cosmonauts aboard Soyuz 29 in 1978 brought chocolates on board their flight, which scattered in orbit and required two hours to collect.
• On December 16, 1965, Walter Schirra discreetly brought a harmonica on board Gemini VI-A and played the song Jingle Bells. The incident marked the first time that a musical instrument was ever played in space and the harmonica is now in the possession of the National Air and Space Museum.
• Schirra also reported bringing Scotch and cigarettes onto a Gemini mission without permission.
• In 1971, Edgar Mitchell brought materials on Apollo 14 to conduct unauthorized experiments into extrasensory perception.
