Apollo 7, the first Apollo mission with a human crew, was launched on October 11, 1968, for an Earth orbital mission. Walter ‘Wally’ Schirra was commander, Donn Eisele was command module pilot, and Walter Cunningham was lunar module pilot.
The principal objectives of the mission were to show that the Block II CM would be habitable and reliable over the length of time required for a lunar mission and to show that the spacecraft's main engine in combination with the guidance systems could perform a rendezvous in orbit, and later make a precision re-entry and splashdown.
This is a rare large-format glossy photograph of the historic Apollo 7/S-IVB rendezvous in space signed by Apollo 7 pilot Walter Cunningham.
