While the second group of scientists were completing their academic, survival and flight training programme, the remaining members of the first scientist-astronaut group were involved in supporting the developing Apollo Applications programme and the Apollo lunar programme.
Along with a review of the development of crew survival and escape methods from the earliest designs to today's discussions of systems aboard the ISS, the author examines the wilderness training programs and abort simulations used to help prepare the crews.
The structure of Apollo - The Lost and Forgotten Missions follows the development and in flight testing of the Apollo lunar spacecraft prior to Apollo 11 as well as missions planned following that first landing.
