Map plate attested as deriving from Gene Cernan’s flown “Lunar Orbit Chart A” map that was carried into lunar orbit aboard the Command Module America during the historic Apollo 17 mission. The map, 13 x 7.75, is identified as “A19” and is marked with symbols that include the orbital path and various lunar surface features. Primarily used for photography, the map shows a portion of the lunar surface area that the crew would cross over during orbital revolutions 1 through 18 for both the front side and the back side of the moon. The legend from this map’s original chart identified it as “Lunar Orbit Chart A, Apollo 17 REVS 1-18, December 6, 1972, SKB 32100123-377, S/N 1001, 1st Edition October 18, 1972.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of a page from the Apollo 17 stowage list, which highlights the inclusion of ‘Lunar Orbit Chart A,’ and by a certificate of authenticity from The Space Collective.
