Introduction
The purpose of this work is to provide researchers, students, and space enthusiasts with a comprehensive
reference for facts about Project Apollo, America’s effort to put men on the moon.
Research for this work started in 1988, when the author discovered that, despite the number of excellent
books that focused on the drama of events that highlighted Apollo, there were none that focused on the
drama of the numbers.
It may be impossible to produce the perfect Apollo fact book. For a program of the magnitude of Apollo,
many NASA centers and contractors maintained data files for each mission. As a result, the same types of
measurements from different sources vary, sometimes significantly. In addition, there are notable errors
and conflicts even within official NASA and contractor documents. In order to minimize conflicts, the
author sought original documents to create this work. Some documents were previously unavailable to the
public, and were released only following the author’s petitions through the Freedom of Information Act.
Trivia buffs will have a field day with the data published here, and it’s a sure bet that a few readers will
disagree with some of it. However, it is a start. Enjoy!

Acknowledgments
The information contained in the mission summaries in this work was derived primarily from
uncopyrighted NASA and contractor mission reports, and, in some cases, is quoted verbatim from the
original text without attribution. Readers interested in specific sources will find them listed in the
bibliographies which appear at the end of each mission summary. In a few cases, it was necessary to
include information from other copyrighted works, and the author acknowledges those cases as follows:
The source for some of the astronaut biographical data is Who’s Who In Space: The International Space
Year Edition, by Michael Cassutt, although most information was derived from NASA biographies.
The primary source for descriptions of the mission emblems is the official NASA text that accompanied
each emblem. However, additional information has been used from Space Patches From Mercury to the
Space Shuttle, written by Judith Kaplan and Robert Muniz. Another source is Dick Lattimer’s
unpublished draft of Astronaut Mission Patches and Spacecraft Callsigns, available at Rice University’s
Fondren Library.
The source for the COSPAR designations for the various Apollo spacecraft and launch vehicle stages once
on orbit is the R. A. E. Table of Earth Satellites 1957-1986.
The author gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the following people for helping to locate original

Notes
For the convenience of the reader, event times are expressed mostly as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and
GET (Ground Elapsed Time). Local U.S. Eastern time, in which all missions were launched, is also
included only for significant events. In regular usage, GMT does not use a colon between the hours and
minutes; however for the convenience of readers of this work, most of whom are in the United States,
where time is expressed as “00:00”, the colon is included.
The term “GET” (Ground Elapsed Time), used for manned U.S. spaceflights prior to the space shuttle,
was referenced to “Range Zero,” the last integral second before liftoff. With the first launch of the shuttle,
NASA began using the term “MET” (Mission Elapsed Time), which begins at the moment of solid rocket
booster ignition. The format for GET used here is hhh:mm:ss.sss (e.g., hours:minutes:seconds). Example:
208:23:45.343, with “GET” excluded and assumed in order to avoid confusion with GMT.
Some other abbreviations used frequently in this work include:
B. S.: Bachelor of Science degree
CM: Command Module
CSM: Command and Service Module(s) (combined structure)
GH2: Gaseous Hydrogen
LH2: Liquid Hydrogen
LM: Lunar Module
LOX: Liquid Oxygen
LRV: Lunar Rover Vehicle (used on Apollos 15, 16, and 17)
M. S.: Master of Science degree
MET: Modular Equipment Transport (used only on Apollo 14)
NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Ph. D.: Doctor of Philosophy degree
Sc. D.: Doctor of Science degree
S-IB: Saturn IB launch vehicle
S-IVB: Saturn IV-B launch vehicle
SM: Service Module

Mission Insignias22
Apollo 7
Symbolizing the Earth-orbital nature of the mission, a
command and service module combination circled the
globe, trailing an ellipse of orange flame. The background
was dark navy-blue, symbolizing the depth of space. In the
center was the Earth, with the North and South American
continents appearing against light blue oceans. The crew’s
names appeared in an arc at the bottom. A Roman numeral
VII appeared in the Pacific region of the globe.
Apollo 8
The shape of the insignia symbolized the Apollo command
module. The red figure 8 circled the Earth and moon,
representing not only the number of the mission but the
translunar and transearth trajectories.
Apollo 9
Orbiting near the command module, the lunar module
symbolized the first manned flight of the spacecraft that
would take man to the lunar surface on future flights. A
Saturn V launch vehicle was depicted at the left. The crew
names appeared around the top edge of the insignia, and
the mission name, Apollo IX, appeared along the bottom.
The ‘D’ in McDivitt had a red interior, identifying Apollo
9 as the “D” mission in the Apollo series.
Apollo 10
Shaped like a shield, the design of the insignia was based
more on mechanics than on mission goals. The large
Roman numeral X identified the mission, and was threedimensional to give the effect of sitting on the moon. The
command module circled the moon as the LM fired the
descent engine for its low pass over the surface. The Earth
appeared in the background. Although Apollo 10 did not
land, the prominence of the X indicated the mission would
make a significant contribution to the Apollo program.
Apollo 11
The American eagle, symbolic of the United States, was
about to land on the moon. In its talons, an olive branch
indicated that the crew “came in peace for all mankind.”
The Earth, the place from which the crew came and would
return safely in order to fulfill President John F.
Kennedy’s challenge to the nation, rested on a field of
black, representing the vast unknown of space.
Apollo 12
An American clipper ship and the blue-and-gold motif
signified that the crew was all-Navy and symbolically
related the era of the clipper ship to the era of space flight.
As the clipper ship brought foreign shores closer to the
United States, and marked the increased utilization of the
seas by this nation, spacecraft have opened the way to the
other planets and Apollo 12 marked the increased
utilization of space-based on knowledge gained in earlier
missions. The portion of the moon shown represented the
Ocean of Storms area in which Apollo would land. The
four stars represented the crew and C. C. Williams, who
would have been the lunar module pilot had he not died in
an aircraft accident.
Apollo 13
Apollo, the sun god of Greek mythology, was represented
as the sun, with three horses driving his chariot across the
surface of the moon, symbolizing how the Apollo flights
have extended the light of knowledge to all mankind. The
Latin phrase "Ex Luna, Scientia" means "From the Moon,
Knowledge."
Apollo 14
The Apollo 14 insignia featured the astronaut insignia
approaching the moon and leaving a comet trail from the
liftoff point on Earth. The mission name and crew name
appeared in the border
Apollo 15
Three stylized birds, or symbols of flight, representing the
Apollo 15 crew, were superimposed over an artist’s
concept of the landing site, next to the Hadley Rille at the
foot of the Lunar Apennines. Beneath the symbols, a
formation on the lunar surface formed a “XV”, signifying
the mission number. Two of the birds flew closer to the
surface, representing the two crewmen who actually
landed.
Apollo 16
Resting on a gray field representing the lunar surface, the
American eagle and red, white and blue striped shield
paid tribute to the people of the United States. Crossing
the shield while orbiting the moon was a gold NASA
vector. Sixteen stars, representing the mission number,
and the crew names, appeared on a blue border, outlined
in gold.
Apollo 17
The insignia was dominated by the image of the Greek
sun god Apollo. Suspended in space behind the head of
Apollo was an American eagle. The red bars of the eagle's
wing represented the bars in the U.S. flag. The three white
stars symbolized the crewmen. The background was deep
blue space. Within it were the moon, Saturn and a spiral
galaxy. The moon was partially overlaid by the eagle's
wing suggesting it is a celestial body man has visited and
conquered. The thrust of the eagle and the gaze of Apollo
to the right toward Saturn and the galaxy implied that
man's goals in space will someday include the planets and
perhaps the stars. The colors of the insignia were red,
white, and blue, the colors of our flag, with the addition of
gold to symbolize the golden age of space flight.

Lunar Surface Experiments51
Central Station
Heat Flow Experiment
The heart of the experiment package,
provided the radio frequency link to Earth for
telemetering data, command/control, and
power distribution to the experiments.
Probes containing temperature sensors were
implanted in holes to depths of 8 feet to
measure the near-surface temperature
gradient and thermal conductivity from
which heat flow from the lunar interior could
be determined.
Early Apollo
Scientific Experiment Package
(EASEP)
Flown on Apollo 11 only, this experiment
package was powered by solar energy and
contained an abbreviated set of experiments.
It continued to return data for 71 days.
Active Seismic Experiments
Used an astronaut-activated thumper device
and mortar firing explosive charges to
generate seismic signals. This experiment
used geophone seismic listening devices to
determine lunar structure to depths of about
1,000 feet.
Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment
Flown on Apollo 17 only, this experiment
was an advanced version of the Active
Seismic Experiment. It used four geophones
to detect seismic signals generated by eight
explosive charges weighing from about 1/10
to 6.5 pounds. The charges were deployed at
distances up to 2 nautical miles from the
Lunar Module and were detonated by timers
after the Lunar Module departed. Lunar
structure to depths of 1.5 nautical miles was
measured. Used in a listening mode, the
experiment continued to provide data on
moon/thermal quakes and meteoroid impacts
beyond its planned lifetime
Lunar Mass Spectrometer
Used a magnetic deflection mass
spectrometer to identify lunar atmospheric
components and their relative abundance.
Solar Wind Spectrometer
Measured interaction between the Moon and
the solar wind by sensing flow-direction and
energies of both electrons and positive ions.
Results showed that solar wind plasma
measurements on the lunar surface are
indistinguishable from simultaneous plasma
measurements made by nearby satellites
Suprathermal Ion Detector
Provided information on the energy and mass
spectra of positive ions near the lunar
surface. Evidence of prompt ionization and
acceleration of gases generated on the Moon
was found in the return data.
Charged Particle Lunar Environment
Lunar Surface Magnetometer
Measured the intrinsic remnant lunar
magnetic field and the magnetic response of
the Moon to large-scale solar and terrestrial
magnetic fields. The electrical conductivity
of the lunar interior was also determined
from measurements of the Moon’s response
to magnetic field step-transients. Three
boom-mounted sensors measured mutuallyorthogonal components of the field
Lunar Ejecta and Meteorites Experiment
Three separate detectors which measured
energy, speed, and direction of dust particles.
Oriented east, west, and up. The dust
particles measured were meteorites,
secondary ejecta from meteorites, and,
possibly, lunar surface particles levitated and
accelerated by lunar surface phenomena.
Cold Cathode Ion Gauge
A separate experiment combined in an
integrated package with the Suprathermal
Ion Detector. It determined the density of
neutral gas particles in the lunar atmosphere.
Measured the fluxes of charged particles,
both electrons and ions, having energies from
50 to 50,000 electron volts. The instrument
measured plasma particles originating in the
Sun and low-energy particle flux in the
magnetic tail of the Earth.
Detected moon-quakes and meteoroid
impacts to enable scientists to determine the
Moon’s internal composition.
Laser Ranging Retroreflector
Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator
The retroreflector bounced laser pulses back
to Earth ground stations to provide data for
precise measurements of the Earth-Moon
distance to determine Earth wobble about its
axis, continental drift, lunar librations, etc.
Arrays of 100 retroreflecting corners were
flown on Apollos 11 and 14, and an array of
300 corners was flown on Apollo 15.
Supplied about 70 watts of electrical power
for continuous day-night operation.
Passive Seismic Experiment
Lunar Surface Gravimeter
Measured and sensed changes in the vertical
component of lunar gravity, using a spring
mass suspension. It also provided data on the
lunar tides.
