A very large original blueprint of part of the MESA. The initials MESA stands for Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly. This was basically s storage cabinet for tools that was tucked away in the base of the lunar module. When the astronauts exited the Lunar Module to carry out experiments, they would pull on a wire and the MESA would hinge down from the side of the LM and the tools that they needed to carry out their tasks were stored there ready to use
