Flown single-sided cue card carried on the Apollo 9 mission, 6.5 x 7.5, signed and flight-certified on the reverse in green felt tip, "Flown on Apollo 9, Jim McDivitt, Apollo 9 CDR." The card is headed "LM Maneuver (P30)," with extensive in-flight writing below to record mission-critical data. The reverse also bears three affixed Velcro swatches, which allowed the astronauts to position it on the spacecraft's control panel. In fine condition.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Jim McDivitt, certifying that "this LM Maneuver (P30) card was flown and used on Apollo 9 in March, 1969."
The P30 maneuver was an Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) program used to plan and execute major propulsive burns in both the Lunar Module (LM) and the Command/Service Module (CSM). It was a core component of the guidance, navigation, and control system during critical mission phases, including lunar orbit insertion, trans-Earth injection, and rendezvous maneuvers. As this mission marked the LM’s first crewed flight and served as its Earth-orbit shakeout test, the P30 cue card was an essential tool for mission success.
