Apollo Spacecraft News Reference (1972 version)

The Apollo Spacecraft News Reference was prepared by the Space Division of North American Rockwell Corp., Downey, Calif., in cooperation with NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center. The book is arranged in five distinct parts. The first includes general information about the program, the elements of the spacecraft and launch vehicles, and the missions. The second part is a detailed description of the Apollo modules. The third contains descriptions of the equipment and operation of major subsystems. The fourth concerns vital operations and support, and the fifth contains a series of references. Information on most of the subsystems follows this format: first, a general description of the system, its equipment, and its function; second, an equipment list containing all major data about key equipment; and third, a detailed description of subsystem operation. The general description should provide all the information normally needed about each subsystem; the detailed description is necessarily quite technical and is included in response to requests for this level of detail. (The text largely dates from the original publication date in 1968; an insert dealing with the Command Module instrument
