Note across the top reads: "These autographs were attained at the Apollo Saturn 202 / Launch 8/25/66"


VERY RARE SIGNATURES OF THE FULL APOLLO 1 CREW, PLUS EARLY SIGNATURES OF NEIL ARMSTRONG, BILL ANDERS, GORDON COOPER, AND CHARLES CONRAD, all obtained at the launch of Apollo Saturn 202 on 8 August, 1966.


The Apollo-Saturn 202 marked the first time a spacecraft included fuel cells and a guidance/navigation system. This suborbital test flight (unmanned) of the Apollo command and service module jump started the Apollo program, and led to the successful launch of men into Earth orbit.
