Description
This article and the others in this document describe and discuss some of the varied tasks behind the Apollo mission, one of the greatest engineering achievements of all time. The NASA Manned Spacecraft Center was responsible for several key tasks, including spacecraft development, mission design and planning, flight crew operations, and flight operations. The book explores the design principles, test activities, and control of spacecraft changes, as well as the planning and execution of flight missions and crew training.
Three essential ingredients of the Apollo success are examined in detail: reliable spacecraft hardware, well-planned and executed flight missions, and superbly trained and skilled flight crews. The book provides a comprehensive look at the technical and operational aspects of the mission, shedding light on the discipline and expertise that made the Apollo landing possible.
