| Title: Apollo EECOM |
| Sub-title: Journey of a Lifetime: 2nd Edition |
| By (author): Sy Liebergot, David Harland |
| ISBN10-13: 1894959884 : 9781894959889 |
| Book & CD-ROM. Forewords by Ron Howard (Director of 'Apollo 13') and Clint Howard (who played Sy in the movie). Includes CD-ROM: 4 Hours of tape loops from Apollos 13 and 15. Most of what we learn about NASA's space missions comes from statements carefully planned and massaged by managers and public relations people. With Apollo EECOM: Journey of a Lifetime we finally get an insider's view of how the Flight Controllers operated and just what they faced when events were crucial. This book is the life story of Sy Liebergot, former NASA Flight Controller, with emphasis on his years working in Mission Control. Following the disastrous tank explosion during the Apollo 13 mission, it was the Flight Controllers that made possible the safe return of the three endangered astronauts. Aboard Apollo 13, Lovell, Haise and Swigert performed wonders battling for their lives, but without the expertise, quick thinking and technical support of Mission Control, they never could have come home. Sy Liebergot was there and relates the details as they really happened. And Apollo 13 is just one of the many exciting stories he tells us. Truly an insider's view, this book discusses not just the events, but also the people that decided and enacted those events. These are the details that were never shown on anyone's TV screen; finally we get to learn what type of people the NASA Mission Controllers really were, and how they handled the demanding tasks that were theirs alone. |

| Title: Apollo Memories |
| By (author): W David Carrier |
| ISBN10-13: 1989044115 : 9781989044117 |
| Apollo Memories is the personal memoir of Dr W. David Carrier, one of the scientists who prepared the Apollo astronauts to do science on another world. Dr. Carrier was responsible for the development and performance of lunar soil experiments in support of the Apollo program at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. His activities included astronaut training, design of lunar surface experiments, and laboratory testing of returned lunar soil. It was Dr. Carrier who told Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin how deep they were going to sink into the lunar surface. He was a member of the science support team in Mission Control and a member of the Lunar Sample Preliminary Examination Team in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory during each of the Apollo missions. In Apollo Memories, using his own words and some of the most famous photographs ever taken, Dr. Carrier takes the reader back to the heady days of the first manned lunar explorations and puts the science into context. Although 400,000 people worked on the Apollo program only a select few were given the opportunity to directly work with the astronauts to prepare them for mankinds greatest adventure. Dr. Carrier earned that opportunity. Includes dozens of photographs of Dr Carrier's work on Apollo as well as some of the most famous images in history (in colour and some anaglyphs) explained by the man who asked them to be taken. (Book comes with red/blue glasses) |

| Title: Apollo Over the Moon in Perspective |
| By (author): Ronald A Wells, Harrison H Schmitt Series edited by: Robert Godwin |
| ISBN10-13: 1989044131 : 9781989044131 |
| This multi-faceted volume provides exquisite detail and unique looks of the Moon as seen through the Apollo J missions the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 Moon landing sojourns designed for longer stays on Earths celestial neighbour, including the first-time humans drove a rover across the lunar surface. As a sequel to his book Apollo on the Moon in Perspective, author Ron Wells uses cutting-edge photogrammetry techniques, providing the reader astounding views of some of the most distinctive features of the Moon seen from angles never before possible. This book includes a multitude of 3D anaglyphs created painstakingly by the author including features from the lunar far side. 3D anaglyph glasses are provided. This glossy book also includes a revealing DVD that includes flybys over many of the lunar features derived from 3D models. There are digital terrain model flybys of 40 lunar locations and a brand-new unique movie. It is narrated by Apollo 17s Harrison Schmitt, describing his flight over the Taurus Littrow valley, the site where he would spend three days as the only scientist to walk on the Moon. This extraordinary volume is dedicated to the unsung heroes of the Apollo lunar landing missions, the Command Module Pilots: Mike Collins, Dick Gordon, Stu Roosa, Al Worden, Ken Mattingly and Ron Evans. While their colleagues were exploring the lunar surface, they maintained their lone vigils in orbit, making scientific observations and imaging the Moon in unprecedented detail while waiting for the moonwalkers to return. As Schmitt writes in the books foreword, underscoring the tenacity of Wells to produce this matchless work, the volume represents the latest culmination of his never-ending search for new knowledge and the means to draw you into that quest with him. Working with him on the last chapter of this book, Colors Across the Moon, was both a pleasure and a stimulation of new thoughts about volcanism on the Moon as well as about the evolution of that small planet. |

| Title: Apollo 12 Volume 2 |
| Sub-title: The NASA Mission Reports |
| Edited by: Robert Godwin |
| ISBN10-13: 1894959167 : 9781894959162 |
| In November 1969 two more humans set foot on the lunar surface, in the process, further reinforcing the indisputable pre-eminence of the United States as the world's greatest technological power. There was no longer any need to establish the high ground in the ideological struggles of the Cold War. Charles Pete' Conrad, Alan Bean and Richard Gordon were making the voyage with higher goals in mind -- further testing the technology and making a start on real lunar science. The average person may look into the following pages and see only statistics and charts but if you look hard enough you can see that they contain the hard-earned kernels of our collective future, a future as a space-faring civilisation. Captured here are the details of leaky spacesuits, rockets struck by lightning, spacesuit cooling systems which stop working because the spacecraft's door got stuck closed and cameras which were disabled by dust. Or the details of the pinpoint landing by Pete Conrad, through a pall of lunar dust so thick he couldn't see his landing site from 40 feet away. If you want to know why that TV camera failed or just how badly decomposed the robotic Surveyor had become after three years on the moon, it's all here, accompanied by hours of rare and unique video of the Apollo 12 mission. DVD-Video includes: Unique synchronised film and audio of the lunar landing, rendezvous and docking. Rare training footage of the crew aboard the KC-135, launch footage, multi-camera EVA film and more! Hours of video! |

| Title: Apollo 17 |
| Sub-title: Volume II -- The NASA Mission Reports |
| By (author): Robert Godwin |
| ISBN10-13: 1926592026 : 9781926592022 |
| Book & DVD. This next volume in the acclaimed NASA Mission Reports Series is packed full of never before seen materials. This book include the NASA Mission Reports for Apollo 17 as well as the NASA press releases from 1972 relating to the flight. The DVD in the back contains an exclusive video interview with Apollo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan, the last man to set foot on the moon. Apollo 17 was the first time that a scientist was a member of the crew. Geologist/Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt stepped onto the Lunar surface along with Commander Eugene Cernan on the edge of the Sea of Serenity. Apollo 17 was the longest of the Apollo missions, it was also the heaviest payload and the longest Lunar stay. The lunar rover carried to the moon allowed the astronauts to travel further from their landing point than they ever had before. Also as part of this mission the moon was photographed from orbit in unprecedented detail. All of these amazing accomplishments are covered in this book. The DVD Bonus DVD features an exclusive interview with Apollo 17 Commander Eugene Cernan. |
