APOLLO 11 AND 12 PHOTO ALBUM Circa 1970 9 images Vintage chromogenic prints on fibre-based Kodak paper 23 × 28.5 cm ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ Neil Armstrong The Apollo 11 Mission is and will always be one of the most memorable space missions in history. For the first time, a human had stepped foot on a celestial body other than the planet we call home. Less than seven years after President John F. Kennedy announced America’s goal to put a man on the moon, Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin and command module pilot Michael Collins launched aboard a Saturn V rocket on the sixth manned Apollo mission. Four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin began their descent to the Moon in the lunar module 'Eagle', landing on July 20, 1969, at 4:17 PM EDT. Six hours later, Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon, with Aldrin joining him 19 minutes later. They explored the 'Tranquillity Base' for about two hours, collecting 21.5 kg of lunar material. After 21 hours and 36 minutes on the surface, they rejoined Collins in the command module 'Columbia'. On 24 July, the Apollo 11 crew safely splashed down near Hawaii. With the success of this mission, humans had taken the next step in space exploration and ended the decade-long ‘space race’, in which the Americans and Soviets competed to become the first nation to put a human into space and ultimately on the moon. The album presented here contains official pictures released by NASA, taken on the Apollo 11 and 12 missions by the astronauts in space. It was a personal gift from Charles A. Berry. He was the Director of Life Sciences at the NASA and was known as the ‘astronauts’ doctor’, since he cared for the astronauts of the Apollo missions. The album comes directly from the person it was originally gifted to and contains the following pictures: S-68-36844 AS11-36-5355 AS11-44-6598 AS11-44-6643 AS11-40-5903 AS11-40-5948 AS12-49-7318 AS12-49-7278 AS12-48-7134 To see all the photos individually, please visit our online catalogue on the Koller website. ------------------------------------------------- APOLLO 11 AND 12 PHOTO ALBUM Circa 1970 9 images Vintage chromogenic prints on fibre-based Kodak paper 23 × 28.5 cm ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ Neil Armstrong The Apollo 11 Mission is and will always be one of the most memorable space missions in history.
