Seal Beach Ca & Apollo
Hi all,
I was at Seal Beach recently with one of the engineering guys who helped build the Seal Beach Facility and I'd like to know and see more about the involvement of the facilities there as part of the Apollo project. Does anyone have any pictures of Seal Beach in the 60's when they were building and testing the S11 Saturn V stage. If not can anyone point me in the direction of some please Best Regards & thanks Andy Mr Andrew R Green BSc(Hons) FBIS, FRAS Fellow British Interplanetary Society Fellow Royal Astronomical Society |

Seal Beach Ca & Apollo
Thanks OM,
I'd seen those and wondered if any higher resolution images may be out there? I guess people like J L Pickering or Ed Hengeveld may have some? Thanks for your help OM, much appreciated all the best Andy Mr Andrew R Green BSc(Hons) FBIS, FRAS Fellow British Interplanetary Society Fellow Royal Astronomical Society ...........................

It's a shame, because Seal Beach contributed greatly to the success of the program. I'd love to see some good quality shots from those days, as well as those reported "high-speed" films of the domes being blasted into place.
