·On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 Space Flight Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first people to land on the moon and walk on the lunar surface. Apollo 11 is considered a crowning achievement of the Apollo program, especially due to its role in helping the United States win the space race against The Soviet Union by becoming the first nation to put astronauts on the moon.

·The Flight Data File Assembly is a term used by NASA to refer to the “complete collection of checklists, orbital charts, maps, data files, procedures, flight plans, and data card kits carried aboard each spacecraft."

·The Underlying Asset is a 1969 Buzz Aldrin Apollo 11 Flown Signed Flight Plan Page.

Asset Description

Overview & Authentication

·The U.S. Congress passed legislation on July 29, 1958, that established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

·In 1960, Abe Silverstein, director of NASA’s space flight development, suggested the name “Apollo” for the first crewed US Mission to the Moon. He got the idea from an image of Apollo riding his chariot across the sun in a book of mythology.

·On May 25, 1961, in a speech to Congress, President John F. Kennedy unveiled a pledge to carry out Project Apollo, “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.”

·On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy gave his now-famous “We choose to go to the moon,” speech at Rice University.

·Buzz Aldrin was born in Montclair, New Jersey, on January 20th, 1930.

·After graduating 3^rd in his class from West Point in 1951, Aldrin flew F-86 Sabre jets in 66 combat missions in the Korean Conflict. He later flew F-100 Super Sabres as a Flight Commander with the 36^th Tactical Fighter Wing at Bitburg, Germany. While in the Air Force, Aldrin logged 3500 hours of flying time. He then went on to get his doctorate from MIT, where he would complete doctoral work regarding manned space rendezvous which was used on later NASA missions.

·In October 1963, NASA selected Buzz Aldrin for its third class of astronauts.

·Project Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972, though the goal of landing on the moon was accomplished in 1969.

·During a pre-launch test in January 1967, the crew of the Apollo 1 mission was killed by a fire caused by technical issues. This incident resulted in Apollo 2 and Apollo 3 being retroactively designated to unmanned test flights. Apollo 4, 5, and 6 were all unmanned test flights of Apollo mission equipment.

·Neil Armstrong’s first words upon stepping out onto the moon’s surface were: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

·“An estimated 600 million people around the world watched as Armstrong and Aldrin left the first footprints on the lunar surface. The landing marked not just a historic milestone, but also the end of the Cold War Space Race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Apollo program brought more missions and more landings, but Apollo 11 marked an unparalleled victory for the U.S.”

·Only 12 human beings have walked on the Moon. Nobody has physically returned to the lunar surface since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

·Buzz Aldrin retired from NASA in 1971.

·In 2018, a fictionalized account of the Apollo 11 mission called “First Man,” starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong and Corey Stall as Buzz Aldrin, was released and went on to earn over $105 million worldwide.

·NASA announced the Artemis program which will send the first woman and person of color to the moon. Currently slated for 2025, this mission will return astronauts to the moon for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission.

·According to NASA: “The term “GET” (Ground Elapsed Time), used for manned U.S. spaceflights prior to the Space Shuttle, was referenced to “Range Zero,” the last integral second before liftoff.”

·The Underlying Asset is flight certified and accompanied by a letter of provenance from Buzz Aldrin.

Notable Features

·The Underlying Asset is a 1969 Buzz Aldrin Apollo 11 Flown Signed Flight Plan Page.

·The Underlying Asset was carried to the Moon in Command Module Columbia on the first lunar landing mission during July 16 to 24, 1969.

·The Underlying Asset is 1 of 11 sheets from the flight plan to detail lunar surface activities for Apollo 11.

·The Underlying Asset is signed and flight certified on both sides in blue ballpoint pen: “Carried to the moon aboard Apollo XI, Buzz Aldrin.”

·The Underlying Asset exhibits a detailed timeline of activities beginning 75 minutes after the Moon landing, including the steps for the “STAY / NO STAY FOR LUNAR SURFACE OPERATIONS.”

·The Underlying Asset is numbered 3-71 on its front and 3-72 on its back.

·The Underlying Asset’s letter of provenance from Buzz Aldrin includes the following: “The flight plan was probably the single most important document related to the success of our mission. It provided a time schedule of crew activities and spacecraft maneuvers to accomplish the first lunar landing. This page in particular from a Ground Elapsed Time (GET) standpoint has some of the most significant events that occurred during the entire Apollo 11 flight.”

·The Underlying Asset is signed on both sides by astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

·The Underlying Asset was owned by Buzz Aldrin beginning in 1969.

Notable Defects
