July 2008 Publication Note

The Handbook for Apollo Instrumentation Ships, MG-402, was
prepared for shipboard Flight Controllers and technical personnel
for their use. It describes the two different classes of Apollo ships
to familiarize personnel with the ship’s configuration. The original
document was provided by Ed Fendell, Apollo Flight Controller.

This PDF version was produced by Bill Wood. The original pages
were scanned with an Epson Expression 10000XL, using Silverfast
AI Studio, to produce high quality 400 pixel per inch, 48-bit im-
ages, for further processing. Each page image was straightened
and cleaned up in Photoshop CS3 prior to producing 300 pixel-per-
inch EPS page images. Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional was used to
prepare the final PDF edition. The document is made searchable
by using Adobe ClearScan.

Bill Wood was a Unified S-Band Lead Engineer at the Goldstone
Apollo MSFN station during the lunar missions. Ed Fendell was
the Head, Apollo Communications Sections, Flight Control
Operations Branch at JSC during most of the Apollo missions.
Both are now retired in Barstow, California and Houston, Texas,
USA.
