Scarce and visually appealing set of three 22 x 17 Apollo 11 lunar information posters prepared by the Mapping Science Laboratory, Science and Applications Directorate at the Manned Spacecraft Center in late July 1969. These NASA-produced posters were created from 16-mm and 70-mm film from cameras either mounted on the Lunar Module Eagle (Apollo LM-5) or carried by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. The first poster, entitled “16mm LM Descent Photo Plots to Touchdown,” consists of three images: an overall picture of the landing site and approach path of the LM, a magnification of the immediate area of the Apollo 11 landing site, and a magnification of a small area around the landing site, with each image illustrating the terrain that makes up Mare Tranquillitatis. The second poster, headed “Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Panorama from the Surface,” consists of composite images taken from the Eagle, which are entitled "Panorama of the Lunar Surface Looking East" and "Panorama of the Large Crater Approximately 200 Feet East of the LM.” The third poster, headed “Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Panorama Taken from the LM,” again shows composite images from the Eagle, which are entitled "Before EVA" and “After EVA.” Rolled and in overall fine condition.
