^Lot 291 Apollo 10 LM Rendezvous Radar Cue Card

Flown lunar module rendezvous radar cue card flown to the moon on board Apollo 10. Card measures 3.25 1.75, with two strips of Velcro on the reverse, and provided a conversion table that converted distance to volts that could be read from the Abort Guidance Computer and could gauge distance between the lunar module and command module during maneuvers in lunar orbit. Card is also signed on the reverse in blue felt tip, “A–10 Gene Cernan.” In fine condition.

Accompanied by a 2007 letter of authenticity from Cernan, which reads, in part: “This is to certify that the accompanying Apollo 10 LM (Lunar Module) Rendezvous Radar Cue Card was flown into low lunar orbit in May 1969 aboard the lunar module ‘Snoopy’ on the second manned mission to the moon. The Lunar Module Docking Cue Card is one of the lunar module (LM) cue cards we carried to the moon on Apollo 10. This flown Apollo 10 Docking Cue Card is an example of cue cards that were used in the lunar module ‘Snoopy’ during the spacecraft’s low level orbital pass over the lunar surface…This LM cue card has remained a treasured part of my personal space collection for more than thirty-five years, ever since NASA presented it back to me in 1969…This complete Lunar Module Rendezvous Radar Cue Card remains both a historic tool from one of the manned lunar voyages, a rare example of an astronaut flight-certified artifact returned from the Moon.”
