Its two major components, the Saturn Workshop and the Apollo Telescope Mount, began their development as separate projects ( the SWS was kludged from the S-IVB stage of the Saturn 1B and Saturn V launch vehicles, the ATM was kludged from an early design for the descent stage of the Apollo Lunar Module ).

There is also an evident consensus among popular authors that he predicted whatever major event had just happened at the time of each book's publication, from the Apollo moon landings, through the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, and the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, to the events of 9 / 11: this ' movable feast ' aspect appears to be characteristic of the genre.

Flight controllers celebrate the Apollo 13 splashdown April 17, 1970 ; Gerry Griffin ( l ) became JSC director in 1982.

Analysis of Apollo 14 samples suggests that there are five major geologic constituents present in the immediate landing area: regolith breccias, fragmental breccias, igneous lithologies, granulitic lithologies, and impact-melt lithologies.

Samples of each of these compositions were recovered in one or both of two major surface units of the Apollo 14 landing site within Fra Mauro: the immediate impact blanket of Cone crater, about 25 million years old, and surrounding older terrain.

An emperor might also adopt a major deity as his personal patron or tutelary, as Augustus did Apollo.

The naming of spacecraft resumed in 1967 after managers found the Apollo flights needed a name for each of two flight elements, the command module and lunar module.

The final chapter is dated January 1967, a few days before Grissom's death on the Apollo launch pad.

The mission, which the men named Apollo 1 in June, was originally planned for late 1966 ( perhaps concurrent with the last Gemini mission ), but delays in the spacecraft development pushed the launch into 1967.

Launch of Apollo 1 was planned for February 21, 1967, when the crew entered the spacecraft on January 27, mounted atop its Saturn IB booster on Launch Pad 34 at Cape Kennedy, for a " plugs-out " test of the spacecraft, which included a rehearsal of the launch countdown procedure.

Borman was selected in late 1966 to command the third manned Apollo mission, planned as an elliptical medium Earth orbit test of the second manned Lunar Module ( LM ) on the first manned launch of the Saturn V lunar rocket sometime in 1967 or early 1968.

The use of Lunar Orbiters for tracking to evaluate the Manned Space Flight Network tracking stations and Apollo Orbit Determination Program was successful, with three Lunar Orbiters ( 2, 3, and 5 ) being tracked simultaneously from August to October 1967.

His final large-scale performance was at the Apollo, New York in November 1967, where he performed with Big Joe Turner, Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy Witherspoon and T-Bone Walker.

He died in a launch pad fire at Kennedy Space Center in Florida during a training exercise for Apollo 1 on January 27, 1967.

A general program of reliability and safety was implemented following the Apollo 1 fire in 1967, addressing such issues as reliability and safe operation of electrical equipment in a high-oxygen environment.

Scientists at Argonne pioneered a technique to analyze the moon's surface using alpha radiation, which launched aboard the Surveyor 5 in 1967 and later analyzed lunar samples from the Apollo 11 mission.

In the aftermath of the January 1967 Apollo 1 disaster, NASA ’ s plan to incrementally test Saturn V and Apollo spacecraft components leading to the lunar landing had to be significantly revised in order to meet John F. Kennedy ’ s goal of reaching the Moon by the end of the decade.
