Title
Moon Lander: How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Chief engineer Thomas J. Kelly gives a firsthand account of designing, building, testing, and flying the Apollo lunar module. It was, he writes, an aerospace engineers dream job of the century. Kellys account begins with the imaginative process of sketching solutions to a host of technical challenges with an emphasis on safety, reliability, and maintainability. He catalogs numerous test failures, including propulsionsystem leaks, ascentengine instability, stress corrosion of the aluminum alloy parts, and battery problems, as well as their fixes under the everpresent constraints of budget and schedule. He also recaptures the exhilaration of hearing Apollo 11s Neil Armstrong report that The Eagle has landed, and the pride of having inadvertently provided a vital lifeboat for the crew of the disabled Apollo 13.
