Zustand: Very Good. New York, Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, (c. 1970?). 4to. (228) pp. (multiple paginations), one page folded. Richly illustrated in black & white. Publisher?s printed wrappers, slightly worn and soiled with some spotting, handwritten title in Swedish, "Månlandare", on spine, front cover with name ?Carlo Löfman? written in black block letters. Prepared by Public Affairs, Space, at Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, Bethpage, New York in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Manned Spacecraft Center. The official Grumman news reference for the Project Apollo lunar module and the handy guide to all aspects of the lunar module (LM) and its mission. It was distributed, among others, to the journalists covering the Apollo launches. According to an internet posting by the editor of the manual, Richard C. Dunne, who was chief spokesperson for the Grumman corporation at the time, ca 2000 copies were distributed in two formats, a blue-cover version with loose leaves that could be updated during the Apollo program and the present version, which was most likely published when the details of the project had been settled. Whatever the size of the printings, all versions of the original Apollo spacecraft news reference has become increasingly hard to find. The book contains sections on mission description, the Apollo spacecraft, lunar module, crew personal equipment, environmental control, controls and displays (including foldout of instrumentation), guidance, navigations and control, main propulsion, reaction control, electrical power, communications, instrumentation, lighting and a glossary. The present copy was bought directly at the NASA press center by the Swedish photographer and Emmy-awarded tv-producer Carl O. Löfman (1938-2016), who covered the launch of Apollo 13 in April 1970.

Zustand: Very Good. Downey Calif., North American Rockwell Corp, 1969. 4to. (280 x 213 mm.). 330 pp. Richly illustrated. Publisher?s black wrappers, illustrated on front cover. Coloured plastic tabs attached to outer edge of index leaves. ?Carl O Löfman? written in block letters on first page. Some pencil notes and underlinings. The official news reference to the command and services modules of the Apollo spacecraft, published by the manufacturer North American Rockwell in cooperation with NASA?s Manned Spacecraft Center. This issue is revised in July 1969, that is, at the time of Apollo 11. The leaves are punched in the inner margin, since the volume was originally published as a loose-leaf system in a ring-binder, which could be updated as the project evolved. All original issues of this news reference are very rare, and as a consequence, a new edition was published in 2011. The first part describes the Apollo program in general and ends with a short section on ?Post-Apollo programs?, including a space station planned for the mid-1970s and early 1980s. The second part describes the command and service modules (the lunar module also gets a brief description), while the third part treats the subsystems, such as displays and controls, docking, launch escape, telecommunications and space suit. The fourth part is dedicated to support, with sections on checkout and final test, reliability and training and Apollo manufacturing. The fifth and final part contains, among other things, sections on the subcontractors for the command and service modules, a list of contracts with costs, biographical summaries (NASA heads, heads of contractors, astronauts etc), an Apollo chronology, a glossary and an index. The present copy was bought directly at the NASA press center by the Swedish photographer and Emmy-awarded tv-producer Carl O. Löfman (1938-2016), who covered the launch of Apollo 13 in April 1970.
