Plastics applications in Apollo-Saturn 5 program, considering foam, honeycomb, conformal coatings, embedment compounds, dielectrics, damping compounds, adhesives, sealants and gaskets
Computer program for Apollo water landing
Hematological program and biochemical data from Gemini and Apollo missions
The Surveyor program consisted of seven unmanned lunar missions. Five of these spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7, successfully soft-landed on the lunar surface. These missions and the resulting data are discussed. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of lunar surface landings, the Surveyor missions obtained lunar and cislunar photographs and both scientific and technological information needed for the Apollo manned landing program. Four spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, and 6, returned data from selected mare sites for Apollo program support, and Surveyor 7 provided data from a contrasting rugged highland region.

Apollo Applications Program - objectives, experiments, instrumentation, funding, and space vehicles
NASA space program and Apollo project - international cooperation
Twenty-five years of spacecraft onboard computer development have resulted in a better understanding of the requirements for effective, efficient, and fault tolerant flight computer systems. Lessons from eight flight programs (Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Shuttle, Mariner, Voyager, and Galileo) and three reserach programs (digital fly-by-wire, STAR, and the Unified Data System) are useful in projecting the computer hardware configuration of the Space Station and the ways in which the Ada programming language will enhance the development of the necessary software. The evolution of hardware technology, fault protection methods, and software architectures used in space flight in order to provide insight into the pending development of such items for the Space Station are reviewed.
