Description
Apollo 15 Training-Used Lunar Surface Bearing Determination Guide. An interesting two-sided device made of thick cardstock, overall 8" x 10.5", with an 8" diameter rotatable dial marked in degrees mounted on the front with a brass grommet along with a flip-up sight guide. Marked on the circular piece are the lunar landmarks "Hadley Delta", "Mount Hadley", "Hill 305", and "Bennett Hill". Titled "Sun Compass", the instructions on the front read: "1. Line pointer on target/ 2. Level compass/ 3. Set shadow angle/ 4. Read target bearing (3 readings)". This was used to plan a traverse away from the lunar module and to safely return as direction and distance are difficult to determine on the moon by the naked eye. The verso has a "Nominal Shadow Data" chart and notes the printing date as "6-18-71". Handwritten on both sides is the notation "LMS QTRS. (31)". Likely used by Scott and Irwin in field training at the Kennedy Space Center. A rare item. Good condition with an overall brownish toning from the glue used to assemble it. The back sheet is loose from the board but could easily be reattached.Shipping, Taxes, Terms and Bidding
