We have a huge history of selling original Mercury, Gemini & Apollo memorabilia and here is a recent USA Today article illustrating that:
Astronaut John Glenn’s orbit the Earth in-flight instructions fetch $67,000
Astronaut John Glenn’s in-flight instructions from his historic 1962 mission around Earth fetched nearly $67,000 at auction in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Glenn used the instructions aboard the Friendship 7 spacecraft on his Mercury- Atlas 6 mission when he became the first American astronaut to orbit Earth. The instructions include a flight plan that detailed celestial bodies and geographical landmarks so he could track his position during the nearly five-hour mission. The astronaut executed tasks on a check-list that directed when he should take photos, put on his helmet and exercise.
Robert Pearlman, editor of collectspace.com, a website dedicated to space history and artifacts, wasn’t surprised to see the memento garner such a high price because so few objects flew on the Friendship 7 spacecraft. The craft was so small, Glenn couldn’t bring much with him, he said.
Glenn originally gave the instructions as a thank-you gift to a member of the underwater demolition team, Richard Dunham, who helped retrieve the astronaut after the spacecraft splash-landed into the ocean. Dunham gave the flight documents to U.S. Navy veteran Justin C. Pollard.
The Friendship 7 spacecraft and Glenn’s spacesuit are on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
San Diego Air and Space Museum displayed the documents for three years before the auction Thursday at Nate D. Sanders Auctions— coincidentally the same week as Glenn’s 95th birthday. The auction house set the bidding at $25,000. Eight people bid.
Sam Heller, communications director at the auction house, said collectors sought after the documents because they are unique.
