America's Apollo Moon Rocket : Saturn V Countdown

This WSN Special Report reproduces the official NASA Kennedy Space Center Apollo / Saturn V Space Vehicle Countdown for the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission, dated July 3, 1969. It is excerpted from our special report, "Apollo and America's Moon Landing Program: Apollo 11 Countdown and Flight Plan" (ISBN 1-893472-09-4), which also includes the Apollo 11 flight plan. (If you already have that report, don't buy this one!) It is the perfect companion to our definitive reference, "SATURN V - AMERICA'S APOLLO MOON ROCKET" (ISBN 1-893472-02-7). Both are available here at Amazon.

Countdown Document Contents: Description, Hazardous Area Control, Intercommunications, Operating Stations, OTV Camera Locations, List of Abbreviations, Hold Points, Precount Procedures, Final Operational Procedures, Pre-cryogenic Loading Checklists, Contingency Crew Pad Access and Evacuation Procedures, Typical Flight Event Sequence for 72 degree mission, map of blast danger area at Saturn V launch pad, bar event charts of Spacecraft Launch Closeout Plan, Radio Frequency Matrix, Saturn V Propellant Loading, Saturn V Space Vehicle Countdown.

Please keep in mind that since this is an exact reproduction of an original historic NASA document, it contains minor flaws and pages with small text. The countdown document text was printed using a low-resolution computer impact printer of the kind popular in the late 1960s, which results in poorly-formed characters. (It may not be pretty, but it is authentic!) Anyone interested in the Saturn V will enjoy this unique document!
