Apollo 11 Timeline Book. Houston Manned Spacecraft Center, Flight Planning Branch, 19 June-12 July 1969. The three-ringed document covers the Eagle's voyage from inspection to its undocking, descent, ascent, and rendezvous with the Apollo 11 Command Module. More impressions in comments. NASA has scans of the Apollo 12, 14 and 16 Timeline Books but I haven’t yet tracked a scan of this one. www.nasa.gov/history/alsj...

The Timeline Book was recently auctioned at Christies, but they seem to have removed their original page of images press.christies.com/release-apol...

So impeccable! Immaculate, even, like only 50’s modernism can be. 😅

Agreed, it's a beautiful artifact with those late mid-century modern graphics. It's also the idea that a spacecraft's operational timeline could be annotated in such simple form, somehow resembling a washing machine or typewriter manual 🙃

Gathering dust in forgotten draws in museums and elsewhere. Appreciate the tip, Tim.
