Lot 491
ASTP, 1975, Apollo Soyuz "Test Project Honor Awards Ceremony" Autographed Programs. Lot of two similar Programs for the September 16th Ceremony, one signed on the cover by Pete Frank (awarded the NASA Distinguished Service Medal at the ceremony), Vance Brand and Glynn Lunney (who had had their NASA Distinguished Service Medals awarded by President Ford previously on August 9, 1975), Leonard Nicholson (awarded the NASA Exceptional Service Medal at the Ceremony and one other. The other program is signed by the same five men plus Tom Stafford and Deke Slayton (who had had their NASA Distinguished Service Medals awarded by President Ford previously on August 9, 1975). There is an ASTP lapel pin pinned through the cover of one of the Programs. This is the first time we have seen this Awards Ceremony which, given the amount of Slayton Estate collection material this writer has handled over the years, makes this Program quite scarce today. Both are attractive and cleanly signed.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
