Apollo By The Numbers

[Kiwi]

One of the most useful collections of web pages for finding detailed information about the Apollo manned missions is NASA's Apollo By The Numbers, but it's a difficult site to negotiate because a few links are missing and there are no links back to the contents page.

All of the links I could find are below, in sequence, with the contents link at the end of each section.

Apollo Nuts who haven't seen these pages might want to print out or copy to their word-processor the summary pages for each mission. They alone are valuable for their detailed information.

[LunarOrbit]

This looks like a thread that deserves to be pinned to the top of the forum.

[gwiz]

If you've got the cash, there's an expanded hard-copy version available, covering a few extras such as the unmanned test flights.

[PhantomWolf]

Ouch, that's about NZ$90......

[Kiwi]

So far I've found only two typos:

In the Apollo 11 Summary, Translunar Phase:
"The orbital parameters after passing the from the lunar sphere of influence..."

And a correction to the original text in the Apollo 17 Summary, Lunar Orbit/Lunar Surface Phase:
"Ignition of the ascent stage engine for lunar liftoff occurred at 05:54:37 GMT (22:54:37 p.m. EST) [sic: Lunar liftoff actually occurred at 22:54:37 GMT, 17:54:37 EST. The original text mixes up the two times.] on 14 December at 185:21:37..."

These pages make a mockery of some of the HPs' and HBs' claims that NASA never gives a straight answer or doesn't release information. Firstly, they are just a tiny percentage of the many pages of information that are available online, and secondly, most activities are timed to the nearest second, some to a tenth of a second, and some to a one-hundredth of a second. Spacecraft velocites are often quoted to the nearest one-hundredth of a foot per second, and inclinations to a thousandth of a degree. I call those "straight answers."

I've combined the mission summaries into one Word 95 document of 54 pages of Arial 9pt, and fixed a few things that don't copy over well from the web pages, so if anyone would like a rich text file of them, send me a personal message with your email address. The first page has the contents -- page numbers for where each mission starts -- which you may have to adjust for however you format your pages.

Some of the link problems --

Apollo 1 The Fire: No link buttons at the bottom.

Apollo 1 Spacecraft History: No link buttons at the bottom.

Apollo 1 Fire Timeline and Apollo 1 Spacecraft History: Can only be accessed by using the Back Buttons from Apollo 7 The First Mission.

Apollo 9 The Third Mission: No link buttons at the bottom.

I notifed the NASA history people a few years ago and they fixed some links to the wrong pages, but they haven't fixed these missing ones.

[Kiwi]

Another typo: In the Apollo 8 Summary
history.nasa.gov/SP-4029/Apollo_08a_Summary.htm
the second to last sentence in Ascent Phase is, "The velocity increase relative to Earth from the lunar encounter was 0.79 n mi/sec."

This is in the wrong place and should be placed at the end of the third paragraph of Translunar Phase, because it refers to the increase in the velocity of the S-IVB stage as it passed the Moon.

[Grand Lunar]

Is there a link on radiation data for the Apollo missions?

[gwiz]

[Grand Lunar]

Thanks. Took a while for it to show up, but it worked.

Obviously, it's not meant for laymen, given the technical aspect of it. Fortunately, I'm used to that!
