Apollo 10 in Photographs: The Apollo Photo Archive (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780764373268)

The Apollo Photo Archive series comprises the most comprehensive pictorial record of America's moon-landing program ever published.

This fifth volume covers Apollo 10, which occurred in May 1969. The crew of Apollo 10, Tom Stafford, Gene Cernan, and John Young, all were veterans of prior spaceflights. On this mission, they repeated many of the same tests involving the lunar module that were carried out by the crew of Apollo 9, but this time while orbiting the moon. Apollo 10 proved that the hardware worked within the lunar gravitational field.

The 12-volume Apollo Photo Archive features images of spacecraft and rocket assembly; crew background and training; the countdown, launch, mission, and splashdown; and subsequent crew appearances and activities. This volume, Apollo 10 in Photos, includes more than 800 images, of which many pre- and postflight photos have never been published.
