APOLLO 11 LAUNCH CHECKLIST – Apollo 11 Launch Operations Checklist, page 2-11 / 2-12 . NASA/MSC, 15 April 1969, revised 27 June 1969. Launch operations sheet used in training for Apollo 11, annotated by Michael COLLINS SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Buzz ALDRIN: " Used in Training for Apollo XI " on both sides. [With:] Buzz Aldrin's provenance letter reading in part: " The entire checklist, including this actual page, was used by all three Apollo 11 crew members: Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and myself… Neil has the command responsibility to initiate an abort if the launch profile or Translunar Injection deviated from the planned events outlined in this checklist section. The launch profile was the most intense training we as a crew performed together. The simulator teams would give us all types of warning messages and problems to solve during a simulated launch. The simulator was an excellent learning device and this checklist was an important tool to insure our correct performance. This training was a key step which enabled our flight to make the first lunar landing on July 20, 1969. Side 2-11 has the last part of the system verification and monitoring prior to TLI and the beginning of an ECS monitoring check that I did, GDC align by Neil, and the secondary glycol loop check steps. Mike wrote the 6 lines of additional steps at the bottom of this page ." Single sheet, 5.25 by 8 inches.
