Description Astronaut Russell L. Schweickart, Apollo 9 prime crew lunar module pilot, participates in a Countdown Demonstration Test. He is wearing an Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or EMU. In addition to the spacesuit and bubble helmet, the EMU also includes a Remote Control Unit on his chest, a Portable Life-Support System backpack and an Oxygen Purge System. This equipment was completely independent of the spacecraft during Schweickart's spacewalk. He was secured only by a tether line.

Title Saturn V Third Stage LM Adapter
Full Description Attached to the Saturn IV-B stage, the Lunar Module Adapter's four panels are retracted to the fully open position. This is where the Lunar Module (LM) is stored during launch. On missions requiring the use of a LM, the four panels would be retracted and jettisoned before rendezvous and docking.

Date of Image 1967-01-01
Full Description This is a view of the Saturn V S-IVB (third) stage for the AS-209 (Apollo-Soyuz test project backup vehicle) on a transporter in the right foreground, and the S-IVB stage for AS-504 (Apollo 9 mission) being installed in the Beta Test Stand 1 at the SACTO facility in California. After the S-II (second) stage dropped away, the S-IVB (third) stage ignited and burned for about two minutes to place itself and the Apollo spacecraft into the desired Earth orbit. At the proper time during this Earth parking orbit, the S-IVB stage was re-ignited to speed the Apollo spacecraft to escape velocity and inject it and the astronauts into a moon trajectory. Developed and manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company in California, the S-IVB stage measures about 21.5 feet in diameter, about 58 feet in length, and is powered by a single 200,000-pound-thrust J-2 engine with a re-start capability. The S-IVB stage was also used on the second stage of the Saturn IB launch vehicle.

Name of Image Montage of Apollo Crew Patches
Date of Image 1979-05-01
Full Description This montage depicts the flight crew patches for the manned Apollo 7 thru Apollo 17 missions. The Apollo 7 through 10 missions were basically manned test flights that paved the way for lunar landing missions. Primary objectives met included the demonstration of the Command Service Module (CSM) crew performance, crew/space vehicle/mission support facilities performance and testing during a manned CSM mission, CSM rendezvous capability, translunar injection demonstration, the first manned Apollo docking, the first Apollo Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA), performance of the first manned flight of the lunar module (LM), the CSM-LM docking in translunar trajectory, LM undocking in lunar orbit, LM staging in lunar orbit, and manned LM-CSM docking in lunar orbit. Apollo 11 through 17 were lunar landing missions with the exception of Apollo 13 which was forced to circle the moon without landing due to an onboard explosion. The craft was,however, able to return to Earth safely. Apollo 11 was the first manned lunar landing mission and performed the first lunar surface EVA. Landing site was the Sea of Tranquility. A message for mankind was delivered, the U.S. flag was planted, experiments were set up and 47 pounds of lunar surface material was collected for analysis back on Earth. Apollo 12, the 2nd manned lunar landing mission landed in the Ocean of Storms and retrieved parts of the unmanned Surveyor 3, which had landed on the Moon in April 1967. The Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) was deployed, and 75 pounds of lunar material was gathered. Apollo 14, the 3rd lunar landing mission landed in Fra Mauro. ALSEP and other instruments were deployed, and 94 pounds of lunar materials were gathered, using a hand cart for first time to transport rocks. Apollo 15, the 4th lunar landing mission landed in the Hadley-Apennine region. With the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), the crew was bale to gather 169 pounds of lunar material. Apollo 16, the 5th lunar landing mission, landed in the Descartes Highlands for the first study of highlands area. Selected surface experiments were deployed, the ultraviolet camera/spectrograph was used for first time on the Moon, and the LRV was used for second time for a collection of 213 pounds of lunar material. The Apollo program came to a close with Apollo 17, the 6th and final manned lunar landing mission that landed in the Taurus-Littrow highlands and valley area. This mission hosted the first scientist-astronaut, Schmitt, to land on the Moon. The 6th automated research station was set up, and 243 ponds of lunar material was gathered using the LRV.

Full Description Pictured from left to right, the Apollo 9 astronauts, James A. McDivitt, David R. Scott, and Russell L. Schweickart, pause in front of the Apollo/Saturn V space vehicle that would launch the Apollo 8 crew. The launch of the Apollo 9 (Saturn V launch vehicle, SA-504) took place on March 3, 1968. The Apollo 9 spacecraft, in the lunar mission configuration, was tested in Earth orbit. The mission was designed to rehearse all the steps and reproduce all the events of the Apollo 11 mission with the exception of the lunar touchdown, stay, and liftoff. The command and service modules, and the lunar module were used in flight procedures identical to those that would later take similar vehicles to the Moon, and a landing. The flight mechanics, mission support systems, communications, and recording of data were tested in a final round of verification. Astronauts Scott and Schweickart conducted Extravehicular Activity during this mission.

Happy Birthday Jules Verne
Title Happy Birthday Jules Verne
Explanation Sunday marks the 170th anniversary of the birth of Jules Verne [ http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/JulesVerne/ ] (born in Nantes, France on the 8th of February, 1828). Inspired by a lifelong fascination [ http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/JulesVerne/sherard.html ] with machines, Verne wrote visionary works [ http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/JulesVerne/works.html ] about "Extraordinary Voyages" [ http://www.interlog.com/~anash/najvs.html ] including such terrestrial travels as Around the World in 80 Days [ http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/www/tdm80j/ ], Journey to the Centre of the Earth [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap970121.html ], and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea [ gopher://gopher.vt.edu:10010/02/153/3 ]. In 1865 he published the story of three adventurers who undertook a journey From the Earth to the Moon [ http://www.teachersoft.com/Library/lit/verne/earth/contents.htm ]. Verne's characters rode a "projectile-vehicle" [ http://www.nasm.edu/GALLERIES/GAL113/gal113.html#VERNE ] fired from a huge cannon constructed in Florida. Does that sound familiar? A century later, the Saturn V rocket [ http://www.calweb.com/~ccorway/saturn-v/saturn-v.htm ] and NASA's Apollo program [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/Apollomon/Apollo.html ] finally turned this work of fiction into fact, propelling adventuresome trios [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-4214/cover.html ] on what was perhaps Verne's most extraordinary voyage. This stirring floodlit view [ http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/images/pao/AS9/10075023.htm ] shows the Apollo 9 space-vehicle atop its Saturn V. Launched from a spaceport in Florida [ http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/ksc.html ] in 1969, the Apollo 9 crew were the first to test all lunar landing hardware in space .
