A Rare Apollo Program "Lunar Module Derivatives for Future Space Missions" Grumman Aerospace Corporation Portfolio (Circa 1970)

Complete portfolio of (13) offset lithographs depicting lunar module-derived vehicle concept designs for future Apollo moon missions, circa 1970s, to include corresponding booklets explaining each lunar module design concept, presented in original portfolio cover.

Portfolio 11 1/2 x 15 x .25

The following description of the portfolio is included in one of the booklets: "A variety of LM-derived vehicles for use in Earth or lunar orbit, and on the lunar surface, are described in this portfolio. Missions of two-months duration in Earth orbit (longer with revisits) and at least two weeks duration on the Moon for a variety of important space objectives have been continually refined for over five years. These missions apply the experience obtained on earlier LM missions to reduce cost while greatly increasing mission and scientific objectives throughout the 1970s. Additionally, these missions serve as a springboard for significant space ventures."

Good condition with some expected minor creases, light toning, and few minute tears to portfolio cover and booklet; prints in good condition with some minor toning.
