David Frohman: Archivist and Appraiser for Captain Eugene A. Cernan, NASA Astronaut and Space Flight Pioneer, David Frohman
April, 2011
In 2009, David Frohman, the President of Peachstate Historical Consulting, Inc., garnered special distinction by cataloging and appraising the personal space collection of astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, a NASA astronaut best known as the last man to walk on the moon. One of only three people to complete two journeys to the moon, Eugene Cernan served on the flight crews on Apollo 10 and Apollo 17. Hailing Eugene Cernan’s impressive achievements in a Peachstate Historical Consulting press release, David Frohman remarked on Captain Cernan’s accomplishments and expressed his delight in serving as the astronaut’s private archivist, cataloger, and appraiser: “I was thus afforded a unique view into his remarkable career and given a fresh perspective into the history of human space exploration!” This was also the fourth time that David Frohman and Peachstate Historical Consulting, Inc. were selected to catalog and appraise the collection of an astronaut who had walked on the Moon.
Born on March 14, 1934, Eugene A. Cernan grew up in suburb of Chicago, Illinois. Graduating from Purdue University, Eugene Cernan earned his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1956, moving on to complete coursework for a Master of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, an institution of higher learning located in Monterey, California. Eugene Cernan also holds honorary doctoral degrees in the fields of law and engineering.
Joining NASA in October 1963, Eugene Cernan embarked on his first journey into space on June 3, 1966. Part of the Gemini IX mission team, Eugene Cernan traveled alongside command pilot Tom Stafford, successfully orbiting 161 statute miles before returning to earth. Subsequently, Eugene Cernan acted as a Backup Pilot for NASA’s Gemini 12 mission, and then faced new challenges as the Lunar Module Pilot of Apollo 10. During this flight, Eugene Cernan facilitated the first conclusive verification flight test of an Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), making history when he descended within eight nautical miles of the moon’s surface.
Following his assignment as the Backup Spacecraft Commander on Apollo 14, Eugene Cernan functioned as the Spacecraft Commander of Apollo 17, the United State’s final manned mission to the moon. Establishing numerous record firsts for NASA, the crew of Apollo 17 spent more than three days on the surface of the moon, exploring craters and the moon’s Taurus mountain range, and collecting approximately 115 kilograms (249 pounds) of sample material from the lunar landscape. Over the course of his distinguished career, Eugene Cernan logged 566 hours and 15 minutes in space. Eugene Cernan retired from NASA in 1976.
