Incorporating the historic Apollo Lunar Module Spacecraft News Reference, this unique document provides extraordinary detail about America's Apollo Lunar Module (LM), the spacecraft that carried Armstrong and Aldrin to the moon's surface on Apollo 11. Major components and systems on the incredibly successful LM is covered in detail. It provides one of the best technical, nuts-and-bolts descriptions of the LM available. From the abort guidance system to the lunar surface sensing probes, every part of the Lunar Module is described. It is a genuine treasure-trove of facts and historical information about man's greatest engineering achievement. If you are fascinated by the Apollo era, you'll want this spectacular report!
