Synopsis

More than 700 images capture the history of the Apollo 7 mission, America's triumphant return to manned spaceflight.

The Apollo Photo Archive series comprises the most detailed pictorial record of the Apollo program ever created. Each mission, from Apollo 1 through 17, is featured in a single volume, each containing more than 500 photos and captions.

Each mission is described, from the construction of the spacecraft and assembly of the crew, through the training, rollout, preflight festivities, countdown, launch, the flight itself, splashdown, and even postflight media appearances and related activities.

October 11, 1968, and the launch of Apollo 7 marked NASA's first manned spaceflight after the Apollo 1 disaster of January 1967. The success of Apollo 7 helped redirect the course of the Apollo program and, therefore, space history.|The Apollo Photo Archive series comprises the most detailed pictorial record of the Apollo program ever created.
