Default Touchdown On The Moon


I discovered hidden away in a cupboard a pack entitled "Touchdown On The
Moon". It was published in 1969 by Phillips and GEMINISCAN Ltd.

It consists of ten items:

1. Two press briefings. A four page and a single page.

2. A drawing of the stack leaving the VAB and a diagram of the various
stages with accompanying notes.

3. A fold out card detailing the Moon suit, presure suit and flight
suit.

4. A chart of the flight path with notes at stages detailing the
manouvres to be performed. This is backed with details of the Service,
command and lunar modules, plus a diagram of the CM display console.

5. Is a press out miniature of the 3rd stage, service module, command
module, lunar module descent stage and lunar module ascent stage for use
on item 4.

6. A twenty-four page flight plan.

7. A list of astronaut's jargon and a full size picture of a footprint
on the moon (Aldrin's?) approx UK size 8!

8. Lunar excursion orders.

9 and 10. Photos of the lunar surface taken by Ranger 9 and Surveyor 7.

There is also a colour picture of lift off and a 7" record of the
Eagle's touchdown and Armstrong's first steps. Including a "lyric" sheet
so you can sing along.

This item is not for sale. Unless it's worth a fortune!

Does anyone else have this pack? I'm not sure but it may have come with
a model kit of the Saturn V as well.
