This WSN Special Report takes up where our first major Saturn V report (Saturn V - America's Apollo Moon Rocket, ISBN 1893472027) left off, with 129 UNIQUE drawings, illustrations, schematics, tables and charts NOT FOUND IN OUR FIRST REPORT! Since this flight manual (produced for the Apollo 8 first manned Saturn V mission) was designed for the astronauts, there is special emphasis on flight systems, events, and crew interactions. There are no muddy photographs to waste space; every page is packed with incredible details about the launch vehicle, clearly reproduced from an original NASA document. We believe that this document, uncovered by WSN research, represents a significant addition to the limited public literature on this important and fascinating historical subject! Here are just a few of the "gems" which make this document exceptionally valuable, with a truly special level of extraordinary technical detail:
* Nine great pages outlining IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES AND REACTIONS - with columns for contingency, flight time, effect, sensors or displays, and mission rule. Extensive coverage of abort modes and timelines. * Three pages devoted to superb line drawings of the APOLLO CM COCKPIT EMERGENCY DETECTION SYSTEM SWITCH PANELS.
* An extremely thorough review of the S-IVB AUXILIARY PROPULSION SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE and its 150-lb and 70 lb. engines.
* Unique detailed descriptions of the FLIGHT PROGRAM and instrumentation systems.
* Much better detail of the ENGINE START and ENGINE CUTOFF sequences, with more extensive information and graphics about the STAGE SUBSYSTEMS - tanks, propellant feed, electrical, battery, instrumentation, telemetry, and more.
* A comprehensive review of the booster changes implemented prior to Apollo 8 which eliminated the deadly pogo phenomenon.
Whether or not you have our first Saturn V report, if you are a serious Saturn fanatic, you'll want this special document!
