I am offering for sale several charts, printed before each Apollo mission. The Earth Orbit charts show what track they would follow over the Earth immediately after launch. The Lunar Orbit charts show what features on the moon they would be passing over. I even have a couple of more specific ones: LM Descent (and Ascent) Monitoring charts showing the course for the LM as it came in for a landing or rose from the moon. Most of them are over three feet wide — see the ruler at the bottom left for scale. They are all in excellent condition. They would be great for future astronaut signings, or fine on their own as fascinating and attractive historical documents. I can e-mail higher-resolution photos to interested parties. Priority Mail shipping in a box or wide tube will be $12. Apollo 11 Earth Orbit Chart. Sheet 1 of 3. The launch of the first mission to land somewhere besides Earth. $250
SOLD Apollo 11 Earth Orbit Chart. Sheet 3 of 3. This one is my favorite by far, because I love how the orbit track comes to an abrupt end over the Pacific. The spacecraft is not orbiting Earth any more - after "Go for TLI!", it is on its way to the moon. This exact same chart (with rougher edges than mine) sold at auction for $400 just a few months ago. $275 SOLD

Apollo 11 LM Descent Monitoring Chart, Sheet 3A for Landing Site 3 (which is not the one used a month after this chart was printed). The LM charts show a little oval on the proposed landing site, with dotted lines narrowing in on it showing where the LM needed to be in order to reach that site. This chart seems quite rare - one of the few mentions of it online was when one sold for $866 at auction. $250
Apollo 11 LM Descent Monitoring Chart, Sheet 1 of 4 for Landing Site 3. $150

Apollo 11 LM Ascent Monitoring Chart, Sheet 3B for Landing Site 3. Also published in June 1969. $175
Apollo 12 Earth Orbit Chart. Unlike the Apollo 11 charts, this one shows all of the orbit information on one chart, with the track again ending over the Pacific. $250 |

Apollo 14 Lunar Orbit Chart, including the track for its first lunar orbit. $150
