Original mission rules from the first American unmanned orbital space flight on September 13, 1961, 8.5 x 11, 29 pages fastened within a 9 x 11 binder with a NASA logo sticker and an adhesive with the typed notation, “MA-4 MISSION RULES. Eugene F. Kranz. Procedures.” The letter “F” has been written by hand then crossed out, with the letter “G” and “B-11” subsequently added. Issued to Gene Kranz, the first is signed in black felt tip, “My mission rules for Mercury Atlas 4. Our first orbital mission. 9/13/61. Eugene F. Kranz. Asst. Flight Director.” Part of the Mercury program, the mission was the first successful orbital flight test. The spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida with only a single crewman simulator instrument package onboard. The craft orbited the Earth once, and its success helped pave the way for John Glenn’s 1962 orbital flight, the first for an American. In fine condition, with the second page bearing several handwritten notations in pencil and ten plastic index tabs affixed to various pages.
