Description: This NASA government film reviews developments in its space program between April and June 1969. The report first covers the goals and objectives of Apollo 10, detailing the many problems encountered during the mission. We also get an update on the progress of Apollo 11 equipment testing and astronaut training, most notably of which is the lunar timeline studies that required Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to perform the activities planned for their time on the lunar surface. The report next details the development of the Apollo Applications Program’s Orbital Workshop, airlock module, multiple docking module, and telescope mount. To conclude this report, we see Armstrong successfully complete lunar landing simulations while flying the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle.
