NASA Apollo 1 Crew Signed Photo Lot (3) Gus Grissom, Edward White & Roger Chaffee 8×10 – COA JSA

Description

Presented is a collection of (3) autographed 8×10 photos from NASA Apollo 1 astronauts. Signers on each photo include Gus Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee. The personalizations and black ink signatures (“9”) on each photo all to the same person were done in the hand of the astronaut.

Apollo 1, initially designated AS-204, was planned to be the first crewed mission of the Apollo program, the American undertaking to land the first man on the Moon. It was planned to launch on February 21, 1967, as the first low Earth orbital test of the Apollo command and service module. The mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station Launch Complex 34 on January 27 killed all three crew members—Command Pilot Gus Grissom, Senior Pilot Ed White, and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee—and destroyed the command module (CM). The name Apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by NASA in their honor after the fire.
