Apollo 16 Flight Journal
David Woods wrote:
I would like to bring to the group's attention the first installment of the Apollo 16 Flight Journal now online at. http://history.nasa.gov/ap16fj What I don't understand is the order in which they are being done, as the interesting (non surface portion of) missions is not the same as the interesting (surface portion of) missions. In other words, they should be ranked in order of interest and usefulness based on their *non surface* activities, not their surface activities. My prime candidates for the AFJ (in publication order, with justification) would be; 8 - First translunar flight. 9 - LM testing in earth orbit 12 - lightning + representative LM ops. 15 - SIM bay ops, landing anomaly. 17 - Launch anomaly 14 - T&D problems 13 - Well covered elsewhere, but needs to be here. 16 - SPS problems And finish with the 10 & 11 which are essentially textbook flights during the non surface portions. D. -- The STS-107 Columbia Loss FAQ can be found at the following URLs: Text-Only Version: http://www.io.com/~o_m/columbia_loss_faq.html Enhanced HTML Version: http://www.io.com/~o_m/columbia_loss_faq_x.html Corrections, comments, and additions should be e-mailed to , as well as posted to sci.space.history and sci.space.shuttle for discussion. |

It's not wrong at all. I started with 15 because, at the time, I didn't know whether I would do more than one FJ. I considered A15 as being the epitome of an advanced Apollo flight and if I only got to describe one, that was a good one to do. I was also lucky that the commander and CMP were willing to help out for that mission. Apollo 8 was chosen next because it was the opposite of 15 as a flight: pioneering, with procedures that were crude in comparison. I'm still working on A8 and other missions are being done as good folk out there choose to help out with them. The work is completely voluntary with zero budget. What gets done, gets done. I've only one question to David: How are the chances, that when a journal is finished, that you can go through it with the mission's astronauts to get their comments? ...Hopefully he'll get the chance to do so soon, because as we've see way too many times recently, they're not dropping like flies, but they're not immortal either. Nothing would delight me more than to be able to go through all the flights with all the crews. Dave Scott gave me just excellent support. As I live on the wrong side of the Atlantic, getting others to even match his input is going to be difficult. Cheers David -- David Woods. Editor: Apollo Flight Journal |

The work is so good that for a while I thought it was an official NASA
project. I'll take what I can get and be grateful for it. -- If you have had problems with Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), please contact shredder at bellsouth dot net. There may be a class-action lawsuit in the works. |
