Apollo 11 items go up for auction
Marking the 40th anniversary of man's first lunar landing, more than 50 items related to the Apollo 11 mission are to go up for auction on Thursday.
Bonhams New York said many of the articles were acquired directly from the astronauts or were originally in their collections.
Among the highlights from the historic July 20, 1969, mission of Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin is a lunar module landing sequence – three sheets that list "entry commands to enable Lunar Module Eagle to descend from lunar orbit and touch down on the moon's surface," Bonhams said.
The auction also contains about 350 additional items from various space missions.
