Description

Official color semi-glossy 13.75 x 10.75 NASA photo of Skylab from the Skylab 2 Command/Service Module during the final fly-around inspection, affixed to its original 20 x 16 cardstock mount, which is signed neatly in black ink, “Charles Conrad, Jr.,” “Joe Kerwin,” and “Paul Weitz.” In fine condition.

Originates from the personal collection of NASA employee John ‘Pete’ Peterson, who served in various capacities of media relations at NASA and the Manned Spacecraft Center from about 1961 to about 1973. He first served as the head of News and Media Relations, reporting to Paul Haney, and later as a special assistant to several of the chief astronauts. Due to his military and media background—Peterson was a retired Army captain who served in both WWII and the Korean wars—he befriended and became close to several of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab astronaut crews, which accounts for many of the friendly personal dedications inscribed on these photographs.
