Wraps. Condition: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. viii, 334, [2] pages. Format is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Illustrations. Statistical Tables. Bibliography. Index. The purpose of this work is to provide researchers, students, and space enthusiasts with a comprehensive reference for facts about Project Apollo, America's effort to put humans in the Moon. Research for this work started in 1988, when the author discovered that, despite the excellent books that focused on the events that highlighted Apollo, there were none that focused on the drama of the numbers. This book is separated into two parts. The first part contains narratives for the Apollo 1 fire and the 11 flown Apollo missions. Included after each narrative is a series of data tables, followed by a comprehensive timeline of events from just before liftoff to just after crew and spacecraft recovery. The second part contains more than 50 tables. These tables organize much of the data from the narratives in one place so they can be compared among all missions. The tables offer additional data as well. There have been many detailed historical studies of Project Apollo completed in the more than thirty years since the first lunar landing in 1969. All provide the end of the decade through the first lunar landing on July 20, 1969, on to the last of six successful Moon landings with Apollo 17 in December 1972, NASA carried out Project Apollo with enthusiasm and aplomb. While there have been many studies recounting the history of Apollo, this new book in the NASA History Series seeks to draw out the statistical information about each of the flights that have been long buried in numerous technical memoranda and historical studies. It seeks to recount the missions, measuring results against the expectations for them. This new publication captures for the use of all detailed information about Apollo and its unfolding during the 1960s and early 1970s. Seller Inventory # 75813
