Apollo 9

Apollo 9 Synopsis

CD-ROM and Book. On 3 March 1969 Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot David Scott and Lunar Pilot Russell Schweickart would be the first people to fly in a true spacecraft. Apollo 9 The NASA Mission Reports finally puts in one place four of the most important documents from this auspicious flight: the Apollo 9 press kit; the Apollo 9 pre-flight mission operation report; the Apollo 9 post launch mission operation report; and the Apollo 9 mission operation report supplement. These four documents graphically illustrate the technology required to build a true space vehicle, a machine that can only perform its function in the harsh environment of space, and clearly illustrates the teamwork, dedication and professionalism of the flight crew and NASA support team.
