Description

Two original Apollo 11 photos gifted from Gene Kranz to his flight control team

Two original vintage color glossy 10 x 8 NASA numbered photos from the Apollo 11 mission—AS11-40-5949 and AS11-44-6642—which depict LMP Buzz Aldrin deploying the Passive Seismic Experiments Package (PSEP) during the mission's historic EVA, and the Lunar Module Eagle ascent stage as viewed the Command Service Module Columbia during rendezvous in lunar orbit. Reverse of both photos bear "A Kodak Paper" watermarks. The photos are accompanied by a facsimile transmittal letter from Flight Director Gene Kranz, presenting these photos to a staff member of the Flight Control Division: "The Division Office has secured these two photographs of the Apollo 11 flight for each member of the Flight Control Division. This is our small way to thank each of you for your contribution to the success of Apollo 11 as well as the Apollo Program thus far. We certainly appreciate each individual effort." In overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope.
