Flight-flown Apollo 17 ‘Lunar Landmark’ map, 10.5 x 8, used in lunar orbit during the Apollo 17 mission. Map shows a portion of the lunar surface, labeled at the top, “Tsiolkovsky to Pasteur,” and shows a crystal-clear and dramatic image of the moon. This map originates from the personal space collection of moonwalker Gene Cernan, and bears his personal signed flight-certification label to the right border of the map. Map is removably presented on a 13 x 19 color display picturing Cernan holding the ‘Lunar Landmark Book’ from which this map originated. In fine condition, with three punch holes to bottom edge of map. Items flown on any moon mission are in increasingly short supply and, of course, highly prized. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RRAuction COA.
