“Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin will take off from the moon in the top part of their Lem, leaving the bottom part behind as their launch pad (1).”

 

Based on the stamped date, issued in conjunction with the flight of Apollo 11. And as part of the press release, labeled as photo no. 1. Photograph/image no. 2 of the press release is linked to below. Based on the appearance of the spacecraft, this was possibly the final/near final NAA/NAR rendering of the Apollo mission timeline ‘storyboard’.

 

As with those earlier renderings, I think it’s by Gary Meyer.
