Description

Apollo 17 flown “Tsiolkovsky” lunar landmark map

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,” and shows a crystal-clear image of the region on the lunar surface. This map originates from the personal space collection of 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’ which this map came from. In fine condition, with three punch holes to bottom edge of map. Named after Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the Tsiolkovsky crater is the most prominent crater on the far side of the Moon. Flown artifacts from any Apollo mission are highly desirable. RR Auction COA.
