APOLLO 11 - The NASA Mission Reports - Vols 1 and 2

Compiled from the NASA archives & Edited by Robert Godwin, 1999

Robert Godwin

These two books (Vols 1 and 2 of APOLLO 11 - The NASA Mission Reports) are very interesting sources for those who want to know what the crew of Apollo 11 (CDR Neil Armstrong, LMP Edwin Aldrin, CMP Michael Collins) exactly did during Launch, TLC (Trans Lunar Coast), LEVA (Lunar Extra Vehicular Activity), TEC (Trans Earth Coast), and Re-Entry / Splash Down

This expanding Wikispaces page is a survey of the many photographs printed in both Volume 1 and 2. I want to know if each one of them is somewhere online and has its own NASA-related ID-number. I guess most of these photographs are indeed online in Kipp Teague's PROJECT APOLLO ARCHIVE, in Eric M. Jones's APOLLO LUNAR SURFACE JOURNAL, in Kipp Teague's FLICKR-galleries (only the mission photographs), in the LPI's APOLLO IMAGE ATLAS, and also in the galleries of the huge NASA IMAGES site.
Wish me good luck!

By the way, I don't know if it is mentioned somewhere else than here in this page, but... during the mission of Apollo 11 CMP Michael Collins was photographed only once:

Volume 1 (248 pages)

Page 2 (formal portrait of crew in front of LM mockup)

Page 3 (the well-known portrait of Edwin Aldrin on the moon, with reflected image of Neil Armstrong in his gold vizor)

Page 6 (formal NASA portraits of the individual crew members; 1: CDR Neil Armstrong, 2: LMP Edwin Aldrin, 3: CMP Michael Collins)

CDR Neil Armstrong	LMP Edwin Aldrin	CMP Michael Collins

Photo 1': ID-number S69-31741 (note the somewhat brown or orange hue of the transparent perspex part in Armstrong's helmet).
  Photo 2: ID-number S69-31743 (note the gloves of Aldrin).
  Photo 3: ID-number S69-31742 (note the helmet of Collins; without the protecting white "cap" such as on Armstrong's and Aldrin's helmets).
  Note also the blue and red neck-rings of the LEVA suits. The neck-rings of both Armstrong and Collins were blue, while Aldrin's was red. One should expect to see the neck-ring of Armstrong to be red (CDR). From Apollo 14 onward, the LEVA suits of the CDRs had red stripes on the helmets, arms, and legs. Perhaps, the colors blue and red of the neck-rings had also a meaning (??).

Now... do we really need all of this in a page of the Moon-Wikispaces Project?
YES.
In 1969 I was a kid age 5 when Apollo 11 was hot topic all over the world. In Flanders-Belgium it was, say, something like 3:00 to 4:00 when Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin explored Tranquillity Base. And there I was, between my parents in their bed, in front of our black-and-white TV, to watch mankind's very first exploration of earth's natural satellite. Today, I still try to comprehend what happened during that hot summer's night in July 69. Searching and investigating the thousands of photographs from NASA and from other sources is my own way to remember this epic journey to another celestial body.
