Details:

Richard Gordon autographed commemorative cover associated with NASA’s Voyager program and the world’s largest ionoscope aerial array at Buckland Park, South Australia. The cover features a bold red cachet identifying the ionospheric research site and “Voyager,” reflecting international ground-support and deep-space communications during the Voyager era. It is franked with Australian postage marking the 50th Anniversary of the ACTU and postmarked Adelaide, South Australia, August 29, 1977. Gordon’s signature appears prominently in blue ink across the lower center of the cover, cleanly placed and well contrasted.

Fine condition.

Richard F. “Dick” Gordon Jr. (1929–2017) was a NASA astronaut, U.S. Navy aviator, and test pilot best known as Command Module Pilot of Apollo 12, the second crewed mission to land on the Moon in 1969. During Apollo 12, Gordon orbited the Moon while his crewmates conducted precise lunar surface operations, contributing to the mission’s reputation for accuracy and operational excellence. His autograph on a Voyager-related cover links the Apollo program’s human exploration legacy with the next generation of robotic deep-space exploration, enhancing both historical context and collector appeal.
