Description

Original vintage glossy 8 x 10 red-numbered NASA photo of Commander Neil Armstrong participating in simulation training at building nine at the Manned Spacecraft Center on April 22, 1969. The image depicts Armstrong deploying and using lunar tools as he would on the surface of the moon. Reverse of photo bears purple NASA caption text and “A Kodak Paper” watermarks. In fine condition.

One of the most incredible aspects of the Dan Schaiewitz Collection is the astounding assortment of vintage NASA photographs. As an integral part of KSC’s PLSS training, most notably on the first lunar landing mission, he actually took part in these amazing behind-the-scenes moments: Dan himself tested Armstrong’s space suit. Offered here are exceptionally rare Apollo 11 red-numbered training photographs, many of them quite possibly never-before-seen by collectors and offered here for the first time. From the collection of Dan Schaiewitz, who worked as Extravehicular Crew Training Engineer at KSC.
