20th Century NASA History: Apollo Technical Reports - Set A, Program History and Flight-Related Documents (Six CD-ROM Set)

This comprehensive electronic book on six CD-ROMs presents an incredible collection of fascinating and historic NASA technical reports and documents on Apollo. Eight years of hard work by thousands of Americans came to fruition on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong stepped out of the lunar module and took "one small step" in the Sea of Tranquility, calling it "a giant leap for mankind." Six of the missions landed on the moon, studying soil mechanics, meteoroids, seismic, heat flow, lunar ranging, magnetic fields and solar wind. An oxygen tank explosion forced Apollo 13 to scrub its landing, but the "can-do" problem solving of the crew and mission control turned the mission into a "successful failure." The program also drew inspiration from Apollo 1 astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee, who lost their lives in 1967. This is Set A of our four-set collection of Apollo program technical documents, with a focus on program history technical documents and flight-related reports. There are 401 documents included in this collection.
