The Apollo program was designed to land humans on the Moon and bring them safely back to Earth. Six of the missions (Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17) achieved this goal. Apollos 7 and 9 were Earth orbiting missions to test the Command and Lunar Modules, and did not return lunar data. Apollos 8 and 10 tested various components while orbiting the Moon, and returned photography of the lunar surface. Apollo 13 did not land on the Moon due to a malfunction, but also returned photographs. The six missions that landed on the Moon returned a wealth of scientific data and almost 400 kilograms of lunar samples. Experiments included soil mechanics, meteoroids, seismic, heat flow, lunar ranging, magnetic fields, and solar wind experiments.

The 8.5" x 11 presentation certificate tells the story of Apollo 13 and the flown Fisher Space Pen that was flown on that ill fated mission. That Fisher Pen was subsequently presented to "Jim Richards" (read certificate) and was itself used by Ken Havekotte of Space Coast Cover Service to hand sign the presentation offered here.
Also included is a LOA from Farthest Reaches Inc. further attesting to the authenticity of this item. These certificates were originally provided as incentives to individuals purchasing Gold Passes to the Sims/Hankow KSC Autograph Show in June, 2007. Remaining supply is very limited. A beautiful presentation and your chance to own a most affordable item signed using ink that flew to the Moon onboard Apollo 13!...

This unique custom-made panel honors the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Program. Adding considerably to it's appeal is that Artist Joan F. Kranz (JFK) also happens to be the daughter of former Flight Director Eugene F. Kranz (EFK).
Joan herself also worked for NASA beginning in 1984 as a computer operator supporting the mainframes on the first floor of the Mission Control (MCC) during the Space Shuttle Program. Additional information about her NASA career can be found on each panel's COA.
A substantial (21.75" x 28.75" piece of cotton bull denim fabric serves as the background for the embroidered patches of Apollo 7, 11 & 17. The centerpiece here is a large hand painted Mission Control Center emblem with Gene's iconic words emblazoned below in raised black letters, "Eagle you are GO for landing".
Artist Joan Kranz has signed and numbered each of these very limited edition panels (visible on the periphery of the MCC emblem). Lastly to top it off in grand fashion each is boldly hand signed by Gene Kranz who adds, "Flight".
Each panel is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the Artist which reads in part, "this artwork was created to celebrate the approaching 50th anniversary of the Lunar Landing on July 20, 2019 as well as the beginning, middle and end of the Apollo Program. The idea of this panel came from a simple drawing on paper by Flight Director Gene Kranz. The panel represents a culmination of teamwork, leadership and trust required by each Flight Controller when manning a console during the Apollo Program".
If you're seeking a unique limited edition item that combines art with history, is hand signed by the Flight Director himself and created by his daughter (also of NASA liniage) than this is surely for you. It will frame beautifully and easily become the centerpiece of your space memorabilia collection.

This Schematic (4-AC) describes the Electircal AC Power System for the Apollo 15 Lunar Module Falcon. These schematics were quite instrumental to Gene who needed to keep such critical infomraiton at this fingertips at all times.
This specific page was taken directly from his Apollo 15 "Goody Book". This book was assembled personally by Gene and remained on the console throughout the Apollo 15 mission. This amazing piece of Apollo history is hand annotated by Gene as can be seen in the scan.
The Schematic measures 27.5" x 10.5" with fold marks but is otherwise in excellent condition.

Despite not in perfect condition it's being signed by an Apollo Astronaut that makes this so intersting. Besides the pirce it right. Al's signature along costs over $100 these days. Would make a great stocking stuffer for the holidays.

This checklist for LM was kept on the console of “Silver” Flight Director Neil Hutchinson. Neil was responsible for preparing the CSM for LM separation prior to undocking. Once under its own power and operating independently others took over to execute the lunar landing phase of this mission. Loaded with diagrams and schematics detailing the LMs systems. This is fascinating checklist used to land the last Apollo crew of the 20th century on the moon’s surface. Apollo 17 Mem - LM Activation Checklist $SOLD |

CSM EXP/EVA Checklist
November 8, 1972
from the MCC Console of Apollo 17 Flight Director, Neil Hutchinson
 |

 |
 |
|
This very Apollo 17 checklist comes directly from the personal archives of "Silver" Flight Director Neil Hutchinson. It contains approximately 58 individual leafs with most printed on both sides. There are diagrams, text, graphs, charts and 8 very sizable fold out schematics as well. Some pages have been modified by Neil which was not uncommon for Flight Directors to do so that their materials contained the information each needed to meet their own individuual needs. This checklist was utilized to retrieve the outboard film cannisters during Ron Evan's deep space EVA. While outside of the spacecraft the job of Mission Control was to essentially watch oer Ron's shoulder as he alone was best equipped to accomplish his taks given the conditions and movement required. Prior to EVA however, Flight Director Hutchinson was responsible for this checklist to acomplish suit up, cabin depressurization and egress. Following EVA the checklist was used to re-pressurize and ensure that the spacecraft cabin was secure for the ride home. This is NOT the item for collectors seeking the "perfiect mint" specimen of this checklist. It's condition is very good but does show definite signs of the wear and tear from it's use on Hutchinson's Flight Director's Console. This is a most important and historic intact piece of space program history. Please note that a flown version this checklist belonging to Gene Cernan was sold at auction in April 2015. #Apollo 17 Mem: Hutchinson CSM EXP/EVA Checklist $1500 |

Apollo 17 Flight Plan manual actually used on the MCC Console of “Silver” Flight Director Neil Hutchinson during the last historic manned lunar landing flight. This is an exceptionally tough to find and sought after manual for its great historic significance. It contains Changes A/B/C each dated accordingly in pencil by Neil.

10.5” and are organized in
two seperate binders of the
Flight Director’s making.

themselves which contain
many annotations in Neil’s
hand. A second binder
contains the balance of the
Flight Plan with sections
including: flight plan
notes, charts and tables,
Earth orbit phase,
consumables analysis,
summary timeline and
alternate mission summaries. Neil had stored the Flight Plan in separate binders for his own convenience.

This is an amazing and quite unique piece of mission used MCC Console material from our last manned lunar adventure. Additional photos available for serious inquiries. #Apollo 17 Mem: Hutchinson Flight Plan (A/B/C) $2500 |

This Apollo 17 CSM Entry Checklist is highly desirable as it is the very document that guided Apollo 17 Flight Director Neil Hutchinson as he led The CSM Earth Reentry phase of our final lunar landing mission to it's safe return to Earth. It is heavilly annotated in Neil's hand along with pages he chose to add in order to meet his specific needs for this phase of that flight. Total pages inlcuding those added for Neil's purposes are approximately 46. Pages consist of text, maps, charts and diagrams including some that Neil drew himself. Other images available for viewing if making a serious inquiry. This checklist is well worn as would be expected for something that was heavily used in real time on a Flight Director's Console.and could be a centerpiece for any serious space memorabilia collection. * #Apollo Mem - 17: Hutchinson CSM Entry Checklist SSOLD |

 |

Offered here is a detailed systems analysis of the potential CSM malfunction possibilities and how they would be addressed in real time should any come to fruition. The ground support team was required to have not only perfect working knowledge of these systems but to the ability to read between the lines in order to ascertain the nature and gravity of an actual malfunction should it occur. This was an expectation for Flight Directors/Controllers as emergencies were seldom black and white in nature but rather many shades of gray. Fortunately Apollo 17 was a smooth mission but this booklet was kept on Neil’s Flight Director’s console at all time in case it was needed. Approximately 114 pages in length.
