Can anyone help me find a copy of the Apollo 11 EVA cue card that was used for PLSS donning and doffing for the first moonwalk? Thanks.

The full Apollo 11 lunar surface checklist is available in the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal website, it includes all the pages you are looking for.

Thanks for the link. I couldn’t find the Apollo 11 EVA Cue card... does anyone have a photo? Did it ever make it to auction? I am writing an article and it would be great to have sight of the original one piece cue card. Thanks.

As far as I am aware there was no "cue card" for EVA prep on Apollo 11, it was a case of following the checklist, which going by the 1969 debrief was probably the most complex PLSS checklist of the Apollo missions as later crews were much more familiar with the equipment.

The checklist linked above is the one the crew of Eagle used, it contains PLSS, OPS and RCU donning, comms testing, etc.
