From the foreword: "This manual was prepared to provide the astronaut with a single source reference as to the characteristics and functions of the SA-S03 launch vehicle and the AS-S03 manned flight mission. The manual provides general mission and performance data, emergency detection system information, a description of each stage and the IU, and a general discussion of ground support facilities, equipment, and mission control. A bibliography identifies additional references." This important historical reprint is profusely illustrated throughout, and a great addition to the book collections of all space flight enthusiasts.
