Description

"Flown on Apollo XII. The Descartes landing site as viewed through the COAS and showing the area covered by the 500mm camera lens. Richard Gordon, CMP"

Flown ‘Landing Site Landmark Map’ page of the lunar surface carried on the Apollo 12 mission, derived from ‘Apollo 12 CSM Lunar Landmarks Maps’ booklet (Part No. SKB32100081-322), signed and flight-certified in blue felt tip, "Flown on Apollo XII. The Descartes landing site as viewed through the COAS and showing the area covered by the 500mm camera lens. Richard Gordon, CMP.” The right tab is marked “COAS DE 41,” and the bottom right is dated “14 November 1969.” In fine condition. Accompanied by two certificates of authenticity from Moonpans, one of which states that the flown ‘Landing Site Landmark Map’ originates from Richard Gordon’s personal collection, and the other attests to the map having been removed from the ‘CSM Lunar Landmarks Maps’ flown during Apollo 12. Also included are copies of the first four pages of the Apollo 12 ‘Apollo Stowage List, Mission AS-507, CM 108/LM-6,’ which lists the ‘CSM Lunar Landmark Map’ booklet (SKB32100081-322) as part of the mission-flown inventory.
