Description
Flown schematic identified as ‘Instrumentation Power and Control,’ carried on board Apollo 13 within the CSM Systems Data flight manual, one page, 32 x 10.5, signed in black ink, “Flown to the moon on Apollo 13, Fred Haise, Apollo 13 LMP” and “James Lovell, Apollo 13 CDR.” This schematic details the workings of the spacecraft's instrumentation system that first alerted the crew to the peril they faced after the on-board explosion that crippled their mission. In fine condition. Accompanied by a CD with thorough documentation evidencing the chain-of-ownership of the schematic page as part of the complete manual, as well as images of every page and schematic in the CSM Data manual as flown. The schematic originated from the personal collection of James Lovell. Flown artifacts from this popularized mission are rarely available; the associations of this page with the Apollo 13 malfunction and crippled Command Module make it an especially desirable piece. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
