NASA via ibiblio · 1969-07-31 · 251 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This is Volume 1 of NASA's Apollo 11 Technical Crew Debriefing, dated July 31, 1969. The Mission Operations Branch of the Flight Crew Support Division at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston prepared it, and it was originally classified Confidential. In it Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins go phase by phase through suiting, launch, powered flight, Earth orbit and lunar surface activities. They comment on suit fit, vibration, checklists, lunar dust, footing and poor sleeping conditions in the lunar module. A section titled Visual Sightings appears in the table of contents.

# CONFIDENTIAL

COLLINS (CONT'D)	graph somewhere for posterity. Other than that, I don't have anything to say about it.
ARMSTRONG	It wasn't called out.
COLLINS	And the dosimeter we just gave them a once-a-day reading on that dosimeter.
5.41 WORKLOAD AND TIMELINES
COLLINS	Just in general, I thought all these workloads and timelines were quite reasonable and had been well worked out by previous crews and I'd recommend no changes to them. I thought that whole first 3 or 4 hours worth of activity was well thought out, and we were never rushed and we were never behind.
ALDRIN	Well, our positioning of different people in different seats was a little unique, so it's a little different, I think, for other flights.
COLLINS	Yes. Well, our seat position is a separate subject in itself. As far as being hurried, we were not, although the first 5 hours of the flight I thought were quite reasonable, and that's all I have to say.
