RR Auction: Space and Aviation Auction

Auction Details

As the Space market leader, RR Auction is excited to share our largest, most comprehensive Space & Aviation catalog in years. Included in this auction are training-used pieces from NASA engineer Dan Schaiewitz, items from respected expert Ken Havekotte, and impressive flown artifacts from Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott, Apollo 12 LMP Alan Bean, and Apollo 10 Commander General Tom Stafford. Proceeds from the collection of General Stafford will go toward a museum legacy building fund.

We have many standout features, especially in the early rocketry section, including an incredibly significant archive from Wernher von Braun, featuring his sketches and diagrams for pivotal articles in early 1950s Collier’s Magazines and prescient discussions long before man began to explore space. We have devoted a special 50-page dedicated catalog for this historic 26-item collection.

Also offered is a robust selection of vintage models and several complete, lengthy Apollo mission-used checklists with copious astronaut notations. Building upon the success of our inaugural October 2017 offering, this April auction will include RR’s best yet selection of meteorites from Geoffrey Notkin, CEO of Aerolite Meteorites and star of Meteorite Men.
