May 2008 - Apollo 12 flown maps

Hi All

Here is the latest Moonpans newsletter

Apollo 11 Crew Signatures

We have just added another one of our most sort after items - our framed Apollo 11 Crew signed presentations.

This features the Autographs of all 3 Apollo 11 Crew members! A Belgian Stamp Block signature from Neil Armstrong, a cut signature from Mike Collins. And Buzz Aldrin is on one of our Signed Moonpans panoramas.

The piece is framed using UV Protective acrylic glazing, and acid free mats. You will need to get in quick if you want this piece, as there is a long waiting list for these!

Apollo 12 Flown Maps

We are extremely excited to announce not one, but 2 lunar maps flown to the moon on Apollo 12!
These maps are 10.5 inch x 8 inch, and were used on Apollo 12 by Dick Gordon as he orbited the moon. They both show the Apollo 16 Landing site, which Dick was scouting out on behalf of the Apollo 16 mission.

Each map is only $5,995 and that includes a Handwritten COA from Dick Gordon!

Apollo 12 Insurance Cover
This is a choice Apollo 12 Insurance Cover hand signed by the prime crew of Apollo 12 - Dick Gordon, Alan Bean and Pete Conrad. And if that isn't enough, it is also from the personal collection of Astronaut Jerry Carr, and he has signed the rear of the cover," From My Personal Collection - Jerry. Carr"

Photo Of Neil Armstrong On The Moon

As you may know, there were no good photos of Neil Armstrong taken on the moon. Mainly because he had the camera most of the time, and there was no official plan to take his photo in the flight plan.

Some might say Buzz should have taken one anyway, or that Neil should have asked for one, or it didnt occur to them as they had more inmortant things to do....

There are a couple of images of Neil on the Surface from the TV camera, the 16mm Film camera, and as part of a 70mm Panorama which only shows Neils back.

So I have taken it upon myself to add a new image to the list.

In the famous Visor Shot of Buzz, you can just see Neils reflection in Buzz's visor. So I got hold of a very hi-res scan of Buzz and zoomed in on the Visor. The cropped image was quite distorted and spherical, so I then had to do quite a bit of correction, stretching etc.

Lastly I corrected the gold tint and flipped the image to show a new full frontal photo of neil on the Lunar Surface as Buzz would have seen him.

The quality isnt great, but it is at least one more photo of Neil on the Moon!

Giant Moonpan Backdrop at the Museum Of Flight

As part of their new exhibit "Space: Exploring the New Frontier" the Museum Of Flight in Seattle has just intalled a 26 feet long panorama by Moonpans.com from the Apollo 17 mission.


Our panoramic images make perfect backdrops for Museum displays as their shape and size enable them to wrap around items such as Lunar Rovers and Lunar Modules.

In the Museum of flight exhibit, the Panorama shows Apollo 17 Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt using the lunar rake, and is displayed alongside a replica Lunar Rover and a replica Lunar Module assent stage above.

This is the latest of several giant backdrop images we have supplied to Museums, other establishments include the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, The SPACE A Journey to Our Future Exhibition, and The Mining Hall Of Fame Museum in Colorado
