This complete, full-color Apollo 11 replica flight plan is hand signed and personally annotated by Charles “Charlie” Duke, the Apollo 11 Capsule Communicator (Capcom) during mankind’s first lunar landing on July 20, 1969.

As Capcom, Charlie Duke served as the sole voice speaking directly to the astronauts from Mission Control in Houston during critical phases of the mission. It was Duke’s voice that responded moments after the Lunar Module Eagle touched down on the Moon, acknowledging Neil Armstrong’s historic words with the now-iconic confirmation:

“We copy you down, Eagle.”

This flight plan is nicely annotated in Duke’s hand with that legendary phrase, permanently linking this artifact to the exact moment humanity first landed on another world.

Apollo flight plans are extraordinarily detailed documents, outlining every phase of the mission minute by minute—from launch through lunar landing, surface operations, and return to Earth. Even as a replica, this piece offers a fascinating and immersive insight into the complexity, precision, and intensity of the Apollo 11 mission, making it both an educational and visually compelling artifact.

Original vintage Apollo 11 flight plans are exceedingly rare and now command $4,000+ even without signatures. This signed and annotated replica presents an excellent and affordable alternative, while still bearing the authentic autograph and firsthand inscription of the astronaut who witnessed and confirmed history in real time from Mission Control.

A superb display piece and a meaningful connection to one of the most important moments of the 20th century—ideal for space history collectors, educators, and Apollo enthusiasts alike.
