Massive and diverse collection of over 800 aerospace artifacts covering the full breadth of American space exploration, from the early days of rocket propulsion, through NASA’s landmark Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions, up and until the international Space Shuttle program. The collection includes numerous Apollo flight plans, NASA Fact Sheets, Space Program Summaries, Study Guides, and sundry reports, manuals, and press packets, offering comprehensive information related to essentially all aspects of the Apollo journey. Ample literature on Mercury and Gemini is also present, which is complemented by a wide array of books, paperwork, pamphlets, and other volumes dedicated to the progress of American rocketry and firepower, the hypersonic X-15 aircraft, and the development of space probes and satellites like the Surveyor, Ranger, and Mariner programs. A large portion of the archive contains over 300+ vintage photographs, the majority of which were produced by North American Aviation to showcase and study various hardware and missiles like the SM-64 Navaho missile, whose design was influential to the Saturn I and Saturn V moon rockets. Rounding off the collection is a large assortment of early NASA ephemera like maps, stickers, postcards, and more. In overall very good to fine condition. A magnificently dense assemblage of early space publications filled with rare in-house technical texts and lesser-known works that amount to a makeshift library of hidden space gems.
