Description from the seller
Apollo Zone Primary Site Map (Lunar Orbiter Missions 1966-1967)
Technical map / Scientific presentation plan with handwritten annotations
Period: 1967 (1960s)
State: B - (Acceptable - Notable defects due to the technical use of the era)
Overall dimensions: 27.5 x 135 cm
Special features: Includes original autograph annotations in French from the period.
Sold by: Owner / Reseller
Original NASA historical map (March 8, 1967) for selecting the lunar landing sites of the Apollo missions. This spectacular lunar cartography piece, in panoramic format (135 cm long), was edited by the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, as part of the technical presentation material to evaluate the priority objectives of the "Apollo Zone." This low-inclination equatorial strip was chosen for the subsequent historic milestones that would culminate in humankind's arrival on the Moon. The map marks Primary Sites 1, 2, 3, and 4, determined thanks to the unprecedented success of the Lunar Orbiter robotic missions (1966-1967), which managed to photograph 99% of the lunar surface.
Condition: B (Acceptable). It shows notable defects and signs of aging/manipulation typical of a working document from six decades ago, which enhances its historical patina."}
