The press kit, identified as "Release No: 69-83K," begins with a detailed and illustrated 17-page "General Release" section, which reads, in part: "The United States will launch a three-man spacecraft toward the Moon on July 16 with the goal of landing two astronaut-explorers on the lunar surface four days later. If the mission—called Apollo 11—is successful, man will accomplish his long-time dream of walking on another celestial body." Other sections include: Apollo 11 Countdown, Launch Events, Apollo 11 Mission Events, Mission Trajectory and Maneuver Description, Recovery Operations, Quarantine, Abort Modes, Photographic Tasks, Lunar Description, and more. The front cover bears an ownership notation for UPI photographer Walt Frerck. In very good to fine condition, with an area of paper loss to the upper left front cover, which also bears some soiling, and some stains to the top and bottom textblocks.
