Color photograph of the Apollo 15 Command Module's splashdown, with images of the
mission patch and crew, signed by Command Module Pilot Al Worden
Composite photograph signed "Al Worden/Apollo 15". Color, 11x8½ overall, 10¾x8 image,
one surface. Apollo 15's splashdown was at 4:47 p.m. EDT on Aug. 7 - 12 days, 7 hours and
12 minutes after launch - and about 6 miles from the recovery vessel USS Okinawa. As is
apparent in this photo, one of the Command Module's three parachutes failed, resulting in a
hard but safe landing. This is a photographic reproduction of a computer printout. Alfred
Merrill "Al" Worden (1932-2020) was serving in the U.S. Air Force when he was among the
19 astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966. A member of the astronaut support crew
for Apollo 9 and the backup command module pilot for Apollo 12, Worden was the
command module pilot for Apollo 15 (July 26-August 7, 1971). He logged 38 minutes of
EVAs outside the "Endeavor". Worden was later President of Maris Worden Aerospace, Inc.
and Vice President of BF Goodrich Aerospace (Bucksville, Ohio). Lightly creased and
bowed, otherwise in fine condition. Printing errors, which do not touch signature. Image is
