Description: Offered for your consideration a time capsule, a moment in time, a page of history... U.S. ROCKET ON WAY TO MOON Here is an extremely rare opportunity to hold the world's history in your hands- An original front page of the Binghamton Press dated October 11, 1958 the historical day NASA launched Pioneer 1 which was the very first launch by the newly created NASA, which had been set up in July of that year to replace the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics NACA. The mission was not an unqualified success, but did provide some useful data. The plan was to send Pioneer 1 into a lunar orbit, to study cosmic rays, micrometeorites, and Earth’s magnetic field. But, due to a premature shutdown of the second stage of the launch vehicle, Mission Control had to settle for a short lived, high Earth orbit instead (about 100,000 km). This was high enough to show the existence of the Van Allen belts, and to measure the density of micrometeorites in our vicinity, and oscillations in Earth’s magnetic field. Each of the newspaper front pages offered in our eBay listings for sale by The Merchant of Memories Inc. measures approximately 16" x 24" and is an original Front Page of history that has been museum quality standards framed using a high quality black finish solid wood frame and carefully preserved for future generations under the highest grade glare free UV Plexi-glas.
