The Apollo Lunar Surface
Journal is a record of the lunar surface operations conducted by the
six pairs of astronauts who landed on the Moon from 1969 through 1972.
The Journal is intended as a resource for anyone wanting to know what
happened during the missions and why. It includes a corrected
transcript of all recorded conversations between the lunar surface
crews and Houston. The Journal also contains extensive, interwoven
commentary by the Editor and by ten of the twelve moonwalking
astronauts.

• This December 2017 release of the Journal contains all of the text for the six successful landing missions as well as many photos, maps, equipment drawings, background documents, voice tracks, and video clips which, we hope, will help make the lunar experience more accessible and understandable.

• The Journal is, in Neil Armstrong’s words, a “living document” and is constantly being modified and updated. Please don’t hesitate to let us know about errors. We want to get it right, but sometimes that can take a while. We would like to thank everyone for their help and patience. You may email the editors concerning typos, factual errors, or with general comments at:

Dedication: To Di and HP, the sources of my serenity;
and to the memory of my uncle, Leslie M. Jones,
who explored the upper atmosphere with rocket-borne instruments
and excited my interest in space.

 

The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal was inspired by the work of New Zealand historian J.C. Beaglehole,
the 20th Century’s foremost authority on the European exploration of
the Pacific and, particularly, on the voyages of Captain James Cook.
