Pete Conrad, Signed (15 results)

paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Special 25th anniversary ed. Beautifully SIGNED in luminous gold ink by Apollo 12 moonwalker Charles "Pete" Conrad! Provenance provided by sticker on front linking a donation made on behalf of Conrad by the National Petroleum Refiner's Association, so likely distributed at their annual conference in 1995. Interior is pristine, mild wear along the edges and corners of the cover (please examine my photos). Conrad died relatively young at age 69 as a result of a motorcycle accident, so his signature is not as common as other astronauts. A very special space collectible signed by author. Signed.

Born June 2, 1930, in Philadelphia, PA, Conrad received an aeronautical engineering degree from Princeton, and then entered the Navy, where he trained as a naval aviator. His first space flight was Gemini V, which established the space endurance record and placed the United States in the lead for man-hours in space. As commander of Gemini XI, Conrad helped to set a world's altitude record. He then served as commander of Apollo XII, the second lunar landing. In his final mission he served as commander of Skylab II, the first United States Space Station. During the 28-day Skylab flight in May-June 1973, Conrad established a personal endurance record for time in space by bringing his total flight time to 1,179 hours and 38 minutes. He called this last mission in space the most satisfying, working to repair the damage Skylab suffered during its liftoff. After retiring from NASA and the Navy in 1973 with the rank of Captain, Conrad worked for American Television and Communications Corp. in Denver and McDonnell Douglas Corp., the aviation manufacturer. He was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, two NASA Distinguished Service Medals, two NASA Exceptional Service Medals, two Navy Distinguished Service Medals and two Distinguished Flying Crosses.

The reverse of the photograph states, "APOLLO 12 EVA - Astronaut Charles Conrad, Jr., commander, is photographed working at the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA) on the Apollo 12 Lunar Module during the first Apollo 12 extravehicular activity. The erectable S-Band antenna is deployed on the right. This photograph was taken by Astronaut Alan L. Bean, lunar module pilot. Astronaut Richard F. Gordon, Jr., command module pilot, remained with the Apollo 12 Command and Service Modules in lunar orbit while Conrad and Bean descended in the Lunar Module to explore the Moon." Charles Conrad, Jr., in full Charles P. Conrad, Jr., byname Pete Conrad (born June 2, 1930, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.?died July 8, 1999, near Ojai, Calif.), American astronaut, copilot on the Gemini 5 spaceflight (1965), command pilot of Gemini 11, spacecraft commander of the Apollo 12 flight to the Moon, and commander of the Skylab 2 mission. Conrad enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1953 and became a test pilot and flight instructor. In 1962 he was chosen as a member of the second group of astronauts. With command pilot L. Gordon Cooper, Jr., he took part in several new experiments during the Gemini 5 flight, which established a new manned-spaceflight record of 190 hours 56 minutes. Manned by Conrad and Richard F. Gordon, Jr., Gemini 11 was launched on Sept. 12, 1966, and docked with an Agena target vehicle on the first orbit. The craft then attained a record manned orbit of 850 miles (1,370 km) altitude. On Nov. 14, 1969, Conrad joined Gordon and Alan L. Bean on the Apollo 12 flight to the Moon. The success of the flight was characterized by the pinpoint landing (November 19) of the Lunar Module only 600 feet (183 m) from the unmanned Surveyor 3 craft, which had landed in April 1967. The total time spent on the lunar surface was 31 hours 31 minutes; Apollo 12 completed its return trip to Earth on November 24. On the Skylab 2 mission (May 25?June 22, 1973) Conrad, Joseph P. Kerwin, and Paul J. Weitz docked their Apollo spacecraft with the orbiting Skylab, which had sustained damage during its launch on May 14. They made repairs to keep Skylab from overheating and to ensure a power supply sufficient to allow them to complete most of their assigned experimental work. Conrad resigned from the Navy and the space program in 1974, taking executive positions, first with the American Television and Communications Corporation of Denver, Colo., and in 1978 with the McDonnell-Douglas Corporation in Long Beach, Calif.
