Original National Aeronautic Association (NAA) “Request for Homologation, Manned Spacecraft Records” report booklet issued to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) in recognition of the moon-landing Apollo 10 mission. The booklet, 50 pages, 8 x 10.5, date-stamped September 23, 1969, is divided into five major sections: Directing Official's Report and Required Certificates, Vehicle Commander's Report, Space Vehicle Weighing Procedures, Statements of Launch and Orbit, and Space Vehicle Description, with the booklet’s introduction reading, in part: “This report constitutes an application for two official and one pending world records under the sanction of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. The records sought as a result of the Apollo 10 mission by the United States of America are duration of a lunar mission and in lunar orbit and (pending) mass inserted into lunar orbit."
The first section contains the following documents: “Contestant Directing Official’s Report,” “Certificate of Launch,” “Certification of Orbits,” and “Certificate of Return”; the latter document and the subsequent ‘Vehicle Commander's Report’ contain printed signatures of the full Apollo 10 crew. The comprehensive report contains tables related to “Post Flight Mass Properties” for the CSM and LM, a detailed rundown of trajectory computations, descriptions of the space vehicles, and several figures, tables, and mission images. The front cover and first page bear the official NAA blindstamp. In fine condition, with trivial wear to covers.
