Description
Envelope featuring black-and-white drawings entitled ‘Gemini fired into orbit’, illustrating the Gemini programme up to the Apollo mission of 1971, namely Apollo 14 (31 January/9 February 1971). Envelope measuring 15 x 23 cm, stamped and postmarked 1971 (two colour stamps from the Apollo 15 mission). The Ranger programme was designed to take precise photographs of the Moon and gather information on the composition of the lunar surface. Nine Ranger probes were launched on Atlas-Agena B rockets between 23 August 1961 and 24 March 1965. They were produced by JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California). Following a number of failures with Ranger 1 to Ranger 6, the programme proved successful from Ranger 7 onwards. All the photographs are original black-and-white silver gelatin prints, measuring 20.5 x 25.5 cm, sourced either from JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) or from NASA.
