ABSTRACT
This issue of the Apollo Spacecraft Familiarization manual
provides introductory data for personnel associated with the
Apollo program. Each command and service module system is
discussed in general terms, but with sufficient detail to
convey a clear understanding of the systems. In addition, the
Apollo earth orbit and lunar landing missions are described,
planned, completed, and test programs or missions are identified.
Manufacturing, training equipment, ground support equipment,
space vehicles, and the lunar module are all covered in gross
terms.
