Product Description

Product Description

On 20 July 1969, US astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. This is the story of the Apollo 11 mission and the 'space hardware' that made it all possible. This manual looks at the evolution and design of the mighty Saturn V rocket, the Command and Service Modules, and the Lunar Module. It describes the space suits worn by the crew and their special life support systems. We learn about how the Apollo 11 mission was flown - from launch procedures to 'flying' the Saturn V and the 'LEM', and from moon walking to the earth re-entry procedure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alas, no guidance for a flawless free return trajectory......., 7 Jun 2009
By Digger "Digger" (Hampshire UK) - See all my reviews
...... but excellent all the same. Well done Mssrs Riley and Dolling. This book is an excellent reference on the development and design of the various Apollo crafts in line with other recent Haynes Manuals. I was really excited when I saw news of this manual being published as I've been waiting for 40 years for something like this. I wish it gave more detail on what all the dials and buttons on the CSM dashboard are there for (some of the drawings are too small), but you do get information to help you steer through the roll and yaw and point the craft for a successful translunar injection..... no more ossilating orbits between Pluto and Mars for me! There is also some useful information deriving from the later Apollo 13 debacle. It won't help you fix the defective main bus B undervolt but at least you'll understand the relationship between the fuel cells and oxygen tanks! Also contains useful information on how to use the urine dump properly. What a relief!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Apollo books ever published., 11 Jun 2009
By P. White (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is a superb book. If you were lucky enough to the see the Discovery channel's 'Moon Machines' series then you'll have an idea what to expect. This is a history of the Apollo programme (and to a lesser extent the manned spaceflight programme) presented with excellent illustrations (original technical drawings, extremely rare photographs, great diagrams etc) and accompanied by well written and informative prose. If you appreciate Apollo or have any interest in spaceflight engineering then I would urge you to buy this book. It's VERY good.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Business, 4 Jun 2009
By D. Niven (Scotland) - See all my reviews
Just what I had been looking for. I was having problems with my retro thrusters and the local ford dealership just couldn't fix them.
With this manual, some double sided tape and some sticky backed plastic I now have a fully functioning moon module once again.
If you have the Apollo 11 at home you really must buy this.
(N.B. This is no good for the Apollo 13 version which had the exploding side panels fitted).
