US-AUCTION-SPACE
This photo obtained May 23, 2014 courtesy of RR Auction shows a hand controller used by Dave Scott during the Apollo 15 mission to land on the Moon's surface which sold for $610,063 USD, on May 22, 2014, according to Massachusetts based RR Auction. Commander Dave Scott employed the rotational hand controller to safely bring the Lunar Module Falcon safely down on the Moon's surface in 1971. Prior to landing— the Flight Director in Mission Control had learned that tracking data indicated they were going to land 3000 feet south of the targeted landing site. Using scribe marks on the window and angles read aloud to him by Jim Irwin, Scott found where the computer was predicting the landing site to be and then used the hand controller— flying manually, to the correct location.
