This X-ray was taken as a last minute check to see if there were any foreign objects that could compromise the integrity of the spacesuit during the mission, such as broken off tips of needles that were used in the stitching process.

Apollo 16 LM Lunar Orbit Star Chart
Lot # 385 (Sale Order: 387 of 514)
An 8"x 15" Apollo 16 flexible plastic LM Lunar Orbit star chart used for assistance in lunar orbit guidance and navigation in the Command Module. The chart shows the sun and planets in color to differentiate them from the background, and important navigational stars are numbered, highlighted and oversized. The track of the Apollo 16 CSM across the star field is also show in color. The lunar star chart reads at the bottom "LM Lunar Orbit Star Chart, March 17, 1972 Launch" which makes this chart one made for an earlier launch date than the one actually used. Also represented on the chart are the 3 stars named by Gus Grissom after the Apollo 1 crew, Navi (Ivan backwards, Gus' middle name), Regor (Roger backwards, for Chaffee) and Dnoces (Second backward, for Ed White the Second). This Lunar Orbit Star Chart was used in training by the crew and is marked on the back LMS2 7A, meaning it was used in the Lunar Module Simulator (LMS) for training. There is a bend and crease in the middle from poor storage, but can possibly be made non-apparent when it is flattened out, and emulsion damage from handling and storage. No rips or tears. Very uncommon for any mission.
