20th Century NASA History: Apollo Technical Reports - Set C, Spacecraft Systems and Program Procedures, Part One (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 C of our four-set collection of Apollo program technical documents, with a focus on program history technical documents and flight-related reports. There are 752 documents included in this collection. Here is just a tiny sample of the titles included in this monumental collection: Case Study Of The Apollo Lunar Module Digital Autopilot * Fortran 5 Program For Predicting The Dynamic Response Of The Apollo Command Module To Earth Impact * Lunar Landing Mission To A Mare Ridge * Magnetic Shield Dual Purpose Mission * Method Of Soft Tether Stationkeeping * Physical Model Of Apollo Oxygen Releases * Reconsideration Of Copernicus As An Apollo Candidate Site * Review Of Bellcomm & Larc Studies On Fine Pointing With An Atm Type System * Simulation Study Of The Landing Approach Attitude Control Handling Qualities Of The Lem Using On-Off Rcs Thruster Logic * "Single-Axis, Two-Maneuver Gravity-Gradient Dump Procedure For Aap-Atm Missions" * Study Of Attitude & Control Options Compatible With Performance Of Earthpointing Experiments By Aap Cluster * Ablation Effects On Antenna Performance July 1965-October 1966 * Ablation Of Cork Insulation On Apollo Due To Rcs Plume Heating * Abort Capabilities Of Apollo On Translunar Trajectory * "Abort Procedures, Lunar Landing, Lunar Reconnaisance For Apollo Apollo Mission Supplement Final Report" * Acceptable Crew Work Rest Cycles For Lunar Touchdown Day On Apollo Missions * Accuracy Of Radiation Measurements Made On Apollo 8 * Accuracy Of Trapped Radiation Dose Estimates * Addenda To Office Of Manned Space Flight Manned Lunar Program Mode Comparison 1962 * Additional Computer-Generated Panoramas Of Descartes Terrain & An Index To All Available Scenes * "Advanced Analytical Program For Charring Ablators Volume 1-Analytical Formulation, Data Interpretation & Flight Simulation" * Advanced Analytical Program For Charring Ablators Volume 2 * Advanced Lunar Systems Lssm-Lfv Tiedown & Unloading * Advanced Pressurization Systems For Cryogenic Propellants June 1965 * Advanced Systems Traverse Research Project Report * Advantage Of The Steep Descent For Lunar Surface Visibility During Afternoon Landings * Aerodynamic Characteristics Determined During Development Of The Apollo Launch Escape Vehicle Configuration * Aerodynamic Characteristics In Pitch Of Several Models Of Apollo Abort System From Mach 1.57 To 2.16 * Aerodynamic Control System For Blunt Entry Configurations * Aerodynamic Damping & Buffet Response Of Aeroelastic Model Of Saturn I Block Ii Launch Vehicle 1965 * Aerodynamic Loads On Deployed Canard Surfaces & Rocket Nose Section Of The Apollo Launch Escape Vehicle * Aerodynamic Stability Characteristics Of Apollo Command Module * Aerodynamic Stability Characteristics Of Apollo Launch Escape Vehicle * Aeroelastic Characteristics Of Saturn 1b & Saturn V Launch Vehicles * Aerospace Medicine & Life Sciences At Ksc * Aerospace Structural Manufacturing Concepts Volume ...
