DESCRIPTION
This incredible early-Saturn V concept art print has been hand signed by both the primary and backup crews of Apollo 1, and is considered one of the rarest sets of astronaut autographs to exist. The rarity of this piece is in part due to the fact that so few pieces were ever signed by both the Apollo 1 primary and backup crews. It is not unusual to only come across a piece of this significance and rarity once in a decade.
Apollo 1 was intended to be the first mission in the Apollo Program to launch astronauts into Earth orbit. The actual flight was scheduled for February 21, 1967, but the crew tragically lost their lives as a result of a fire on the launch pad during a dress rehearsal test at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station Launch Complex 34 on January 27, 1967.
The signed print was expertly restored due to damage occurring over its 50 year history and preserved by Studio C so that no further degradation of the signatures or print would occur. After the restoration and conservation was completed, the print was framed using museum-quality acid-free materials and behind Artglass AR99 Acrylic™.
