This was done by the astronaut standing in one spot, and then taking several single photos of the location as he rotated in a 360 degree circle. Taken by Apollo 14 Commander Alan Shepard, this combined panoramic poster shows Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell working the TV camera as a brilliant sun glare reflects off the Lunar Module Antares. |

During the six moon landings between 1969 and 1972, the Apollo astronauts captured several panoramas. This was done by the astronaut standing in one spot, and then taking several single photos of the location as he rotated in a 360 degree circle. The result was about 20 photos which when laid alongside each other, would form a panoramic mosaic of the location. |

A-OK! The Wings of Mercury is a realistic simulation of the Mercury spacecraft. It features 3D graphics, fully functional control panels, networked simulations, and a complete manual. Here are just some of the features: Real-time trajectory modeling accurately simulates the ascent, orbital and reentry dynamics of the spacecraft. Atmospheric drag, thrust and mass are just three of the many variables used in the sophisticated integration techniques used. Accurate, real-time 3D graphics that simulate the cockpit and window view. At the end of a simulation, A-OK! Can produce a detailed HTML-based report on your mission. Just like the real thing, you can only receive when you are over a ground station and you'll get static as you slip in and slip out of range. The data is saved in a standard comma-delimited text file that you can export to an external analysis tool like Microsoft Excel. Space flight enthusiasts can network with other enthusiasts to run large-scale simulations over the web. |

The award winning Air Burst Rockets System incorporates an entirely new propulsion technology, utilizing air to create a shock wave and venturi effect that launches its rockets higher and faster than any non-combustion rockets on Earth! Through the bursting of membrane boosters within the launcher, Air Burst generates astounding power that sends its rockets to amazing heights. With a few pumps from a stand-up bicycle pump, its rockets can be easily and repeatedly launched. And the system is completely safe -- no combustible or expensive rocket engines used! With five different altitude levels to choose from, you can launch Air Burst rockets to varying heights reaching up to 1,000 feet and even beyond visual range. Be prepared for a truly amazing model rocketry experience! Each set includes launcher, two different rockets with contrail streamers for enhanced visibility, and 60 membrane boosters. Bicycle pump sold separately below. (The system operates with any common stand-up bicylce pump.) Also sold separately are additional rockets and booster membranes. Recommended for ages 10 and up.

"Apollo 12 NASA Mission Reports, Volume Two" includes a bonus DVD! In November 1969 two more humans set foot on the lunar surface, in the process, further reinforcing the indisputable preeminence of the United States as the world's greatest technological power. Captured here are the details of leaky spacesuits, rockets struck by lightning, spacesuit cooling systems which stop working because the spacecraft's door got stuck closed and cameras which were disabled by dust. Or the details of the pinpoint landing by Pete Conrad, descending as fast as 170 feet a second, into a pall of lunar dust so thick he couldn't see his landing site from 40 feet away. If you want to know why that TV camera failed or just how badly decomposed the robotic Surveyor had become after three years on the moon, it's all here from the official NASA reports, accompanied by hours of rare and unique video of the Apollo 12 mission. |

Apollo 12 was the second lunar landing mission, coming just four months after the triumph of Apollo 11. Designed to exercise a pinpoint landing and more robust exploration of the area, the Apollo 12 mission set down in the Ocean of Storms about 200 meters from the Surveyor III probe, which landed in April, 1967. Featuring the jovial crew of Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon and Alan Bean, the Apollo 12 mission launched into a thunderstorm and was struck by lightning shortly after liftoff. This 3-DVD set contains the most complete record available of the Apollo 12 mission, with over 12 hours of material, including the complete television transmissions and onboard film, a rebuilt EVA sequence featuring the complete audio from both EVAs reconstructed with television, film, 70mm hasselblad photographs and training footage.

Apollo 13 was the almost-disaster that resulted in what NASA labeled a "successful failure". When an oxygen tank exploded mid-flight, the crew was forced to abort their lunar landing, fly around the Moon inside the lunar module as a lifeboat and find their safe way back to Earth. This Spaceflori presentation displays a segment of a flown equipment strap used on Apollo 13. |

Apollo 15 (July 26 - August 7, 1971) was the fourth manned lunar landing mission and marked the first of the three "J" missions designed to conduct exploration of the Moon over longer periods, greater ranges, and with more instruments for scientific data acquisition than on previous flights. David Scott and James Irwin lived on the Moon for 66 hours and 54 minutes while Al Worden orbited the Moon inside the Command Module Endeavor. This Spaceflori presentation displays a piece of astronaut David Scott's worn and used lunar EVA spacesuit a section of the electrical communication cable between his A7LB spacesuit and the PLSS he wore on his back. |

The fifth successful lunar landing mission, Apollo 16 was the second of NASA’s “J” lunar missions. With extended lunar stay times and the greater mobility afforded by the lunar rover, the final three Apollo lunar landing missions greatly expanded man’s first program of lunar exploration. John Young, Charlie Duke, and Ken Mattingly executed a spectacular mission to the Descartes highlands. The landing site lies in the central lunar highlands in hilly, grooved and furrowed lurain. The mission was the first to a lunar highlands area -- quite different from any location previously visited. Young and Duke explored the site during 3 EVAs, while Mattingly conducted an extensive program of scientific observation from lunar orbit. This 6-disc Extended Collector's Edition from Spacecraft Films differs from the original released in 2003 through the addition of audio tracks, the addition of the audio during the lunar surface traverses, and the addition of a landing site flyover. The packaging also has been redesigned to more closely resemble other Spacecraft Films releases. |
