One of the outstanding exclusive documents in this collection is the Saturn V Launch Vehicle Flight Evaluation Report for AS-506 (Apollo 11) which has every conceivable detail about the performance of the rocket used to launch Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins in 1969. Another significant publication is the official history of the program, Stages to Saturn: A Technological History of the Apollo/Saturn Launch Vehicles. Several crucial Saturn documents, previously only available in paper copy as WSN Special Reports, are reproduced here, including the Saturn V News Reference and the Saturn V Flight Manual. (Please see the Table of Contents tab for a full list of titles on this disc.)
Our unique "IMAGE GALLERY" in Adobe Acrobat format reproduces the photos in a computerized "photo album" suitable for quick full-screen browsing. This format was designed to mimic the look and "feel" of a real book; there is no need to laboriously import specific images into a slow-loading program for viewing and printing. As you flip through the images in the Gallery, you can magnify photographs for better viewing.
For Saturn enthusiasts interested in a more complete set of high-resolution photographs and image galleries, please see the four-disc set, SATURN V SUPERSET, available here at amazon.com and published as ISBN 1931828725. (The "superset" includes this CD-ROM as Volume One.)
Our American Spaceflight Encyclopedia CD-ROMs are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat PDF format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed. Vast archives of important government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review. This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool, and is indispensable for any Saturn or Apollo space enthusiast!
