The first disc in the set (sold individually as ISBN 1931828709) provides ten major documents and the basis set of photograph galleries in PDF format. One of the outstanding exclusive documents on this disc is the Saturn V Launch Vehicle Flight Evaluation Report for AS-506 (Apollo 11) which has every conceivable detail about the performance of the rocket used to launch Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins in 1969. Another significant publication is the official history of the program, Stages to Saturn: A Technological History of the Apollo/Saturn Launch Vehicles. Several crucial Saturn documents, previously only available in paper copy as WSN Special Reports, are reproduced here, including the Saturn V News Reference and the Saturn V Flight Manual. (Please see the Table of Contents tab for a full list of titles.)
The second and third discs have high-resolution photos reproduced in the PDF format, and the fourth disc contains 814 raw computer image files in the JPEG and GIF formats, suitable for use in any graphics software.
Our unique "IMAGE GALLERY" in Adobe Acrobat format reproduces the photos in a computerized "photo album" suitable for quick full-screen browsing! This format was designed to mimic the look and "feel" of a real book; there is no need to laboriously import specific images into a slow-loading program for viewing and printing. As you flip through the images in the Gallery, you can magnify photographs for better viewing.
Our American Spaceflight Encyclopedia CD-ROMs are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat PDF format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed. Vast archives of important government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review. This superb four-disc set makes an ideal reference work and educational tool, and is indispensable for any Saturn or Apollo space enthusiast!
