The Apollo Flight Journal

David Woods with Frank O'Brien, Tim Brandt and Lennie Waugh


Welcome to the Apollo Flight Journal, the companion to the

Apollo Lunar Surface Journal.

Like the Surface Journal, it is intended to be a resource for all those interested in the Apollo flights to the Moon, whether in a passing or scholarly capacity.

The journal presently covers five flights of the Apollo program, with that for Apollo 15 being complete from launch to splashdown. As a "living document" it will continue to grow and evolve and major changes will be intimated in the appropriate groups. It is the current intention of the authors to bring all the manned Apollo flights to this site.
