Welcome to the Apollo Flight Journal, the companion to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. Like the Surface Journal, it is intended to be a resource for all those interested in the Apollo flights to the Moon, whether in a passing or scholarly capacity.
The journal covers eleven human flights of the Apollo program from Apollo 7 to Apollo 17, concentrating on the parts of the missions not on the lunar surface. As a "living document" it will continue to grow and evolve.
In addition to the mission-specific documentation available on each journal's site, the AFJ includes scanned documents relevant to all missions.
