Color first edition of the Apollo 11 Lunar Orbit Chart showing the mission's 1st and 30th revolutions for a July 16th launch, annotated in blue ballpoint and red ink by a NASA employee. The chart, dated June 20, 1969, has been trimmed, folded, and affixed by its left and right edges to form a continuous loop of the well-defined lunar surface, upon which are areas in darkness and earthshine, lunar sunset terminator lines for the 1st and 30th revolutions, and a wide assortment of lunar landmarks and regions. The upper and lower margins bear coordinates in red ink, while numerous lunar landmarks are given shortened English versions of their Latin names, e.g. “Tranquility” (Mare Tranquillitatis), “Fertility” (Mare Fecunditatis), “Ocean of Storms” (Oceanus Procellarum), “Serenity” (Mare Serenitatis), and “Seething Bay” (Sinus Aestuum). The chart is entitled, "Apollo Lunar Orbit Chart (ALO), Apollo Mission 11, 1st and 30th Revolutions, 18 July 1969 Launch Date." Lithographed by ACIC 6-69, and prepared under the direction of the Department of Defense by the Aeronautical Chart and Information Center. In fine, folded condition.
