This Apollo 15 flown UN Space Treaty is printed on high quality vellum, and measures approx. 5.5 x 3.5 inches. It was flown to lunar orbit in the Apollo 15 command module by Al Worden. The treaty is a small souvenir copy of the all important "Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts, and the Return of Objects Launched into Outer Space." This treaty was critical during the cold war period for nation's - particularly the USSR and the US -- to be able to retreive their space faring citizens and equipment should they accidentially land on foreign (as opposed to alien) soil. It is facsimile signed by representatives of the USSR, US, and Great Britain. This treaty is still in effect today, making this treaty probably one of the few copies of an international treaty ever flown to the moon.

Al Worden took a small number of these treaty copies onboard the Apollo 15 Command Module in his PPK (Personal Preference Kit) and has signed and inscribed it as, "Flown Onboard Apollo 15, Al Worden Apollo 15". Worden has also provided a short Letter of Authenticity which reads,"This is to certify that the following Sapce (Space) Rescue Agreement was carried aboard Apollo 15 During its Lunar Flight July 26 - August 7, 1971 - S/N A-15s-011 - Alfred M Worden, Command Module Pilot, Apollo 15"

Measures approx: 5.5 x 3.5 inches
