Code-Name: Spider — Flight of Apollo 9

Illustrated fold-out booklet on Apollo 9 (March 3–13, 1969), the first crewed flight of the Lunar Module, code-named Spider, flown by Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot David Scott, and Lunar Module Pilot Russell Schweickart. Covers the mission from prelaunch processing and the Saturn V rollout through Gumdrop and Spider’s docking and hard-fire tests, Schweickart’s “Red Rover” spacewalk in the golden-slippered foot restraints, and cutaway diagrams of the LM’s ascent and descent stages. Illustrated throughout with mission photography, an artist’s rendering of the Command Module simulator, and quotes from the crew’s in-flight radio traffic.
