Rotating circular star chart used in training for Gemini 5 by Gordon Cooper, measuring 9.25″ in diameter, marked on the transparent overlay as part "CF55062-1," with no serial number indicated. The white star chart provides the major stars and constellations visible from orbit, and the transparent position locator overlay offers index lines for a north declination and south declination. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Michael Orenstein of The Right Stuff, Inc., in part: "This star chart Serial No. CF55062-1 is from the personal collection of Astronaut LeRoy Gordon 'Gordo' Cooper. It was used during flight training…and was personally handed to me by Col. Cooper."
