An album/binder of original public relations packets & news releases, with promotional photographs, and an offprint by Notthoff detailing the Dalmo-Victor antennas used in the Apollo Missions. In 1964, North American had selected Dalmo-Victor to supply the necessary steerable S-band High-gain antennas for the Apollo Command Modules and Lunar Excursion Modules, featuring deployable antenna used beyond 14,816 kilometers above the Earth. In addition, there were growing mission requirements specifying that the antennas could reacquire the Earth, and maintain contact with the LEM on the Lunar surface during extending landings. Apollos 8 & 9 were the first spacecraft to use a tracking array onboard manned space vehicles, which unlike the previous missions orbiting the Earth required deep space automatic reacquisition, and steerable capabilities. The photos included here depict the High-Gain Antenna, the assembly, installation onto the Apollo 8 CSM, view of the Apollo 9 CSM from the LEM, the LEM in lunar landing configuration for the Apollo 9, and even photo of the first production antenna by Dalmo-Victor.
