Synopsis
CD-ROM and Book. On 3 March 1969 Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot David Scott and Lunar Pilot Russell Schweickart would be the first people to fly in a true spacecraft. Apollo 9 The NASA Mission Reports finally puts in one place four of the most important documents from this auspicious flight: the Apollo 9 press kit; the Apollo 9 pre-flight mission operation report; the Apollo 9 post launch mission operation report; and the Apollo 9 mission operation report supplement. These four documents graphically illustrate the technology required to build a true space vehicle, a machine that can only perform its function in the harsh environment of space, and clearly illustrates the teamwork, dedication and professionalism of the flight crew and NASA support team.

Apollo 9 stands as a significant engineering achievement, by demonstrating for the first time the major components of a lunar landing mission - extraction of the LEM from the S-IVB stage, CSM/LEM separation and docking, flight of the LEM ascent and descent stages, EVA with the self-contained lunar spacesuit. Apogee's books contain a wealth of information that would be difficult (if not impossible) to find elsewhere, and the inclusion of a CD-ROM with many photos and video makes this a must-have for any Apollo nut.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Flight Testing the Lunar Module., 3 Feb 2000 By A Customer Apollo 9 was an engineering test flight. The reports list 36 primary Detailed Test Objectives and 18 secondary objectives. The overall aim was to demonstrate the performance of Apollo systems and procedures that were essential for a mission to the lunar surface. This book describes what Brigadier General James McDivitt USAF and his crew had to do to demonstrate Apollo's engineering quantum leap. The short discrepancy summaries in the Post Launch Mission Operation Report #1 are a testament to the quality and quantity of work produced by all concerned. If Apollo 9 did not really capture the imagination, the enclosed CD ROM helps to bring it alive. This is a valuable source of back-ground technical information about the landings, and provides an interesting insight into the state of the art just four months before Apollo 11.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
