Training-used Apollo 16 Lunar Module Orbit Monitor Chart double map plate, signed and inscribed by Apollo 16 LMP Charlie Duke — the 10th man to walk on the lunar surface! The plate is inscribed "On our way to do some radical serious lunar science at Descartes - Charlie Duke, Apollo 16 LMP".

He has also labeled one of the orbital indicator lines "Orbital Flight Path" with an arrow pointing to the line.

These plates feature creaters Wyld, Hirayama, Tolstoi, and Tasso. Plate 2 shows Wyld, with Fox to right (the dark crater); Plate 3 shows craters Purkyne, Hirayama, Ariosto (under 24+ time mark), Tolstoi immediately above, and Tasso (the white "spray" near top), with Huge immediately below.

These plates come from the Apollo 16 Lunar Module Orbit Monitor Chart (SKB 32100122-384, Training Chart #5), used in crew training for the fifth lunar landing at Descartes. Each plate shows a view of the lunar surface as seen during the descent, with significant landmarks labeled for quick references. The orbital path of the lunar module, as well as time and distance scales, are overlayed on each plate in white. Each double plate (which covers 2 minute of the descent trajectory toward Descartes) measures ~10.5” x 15.5”, with a horizontal fold separating the two plates — a perfect size for framing and display! Condition is fine.

This item comes with the following: a holographically-sealed Orbital Artifacts COA detailing provenance and authenticity guarantee; 2) Letter of Attestation certifying the origin of the training-used map plates; 3) copy of RR Auction Certificate; 4) copy of sales record documenting my ownership of the original training-used Orbit Monitor Chart; and 5) a hi-res digital photo of Duke holding the signed map plate.

This item is 100% guaranteed genuine and as-described, and comes with a 100% guarantee of authenticity.

Price: $525

Additional hi-res images and a more complete description can be found here.
