Edited by Eric M. Jones,The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal is a record of the lunar surface operations conducted by the six pairs of astronauts who landed on the Moon in 1969 through 1972. The Journal is intended as a resource for anyone wanting to know what happened during the missions and why. It includes a corrected transcript of all recorded conversations between the lunar surface crews and Houston. The Journal also contains extensive, interwoven commentary by the Editor and by ten of the twelve moonwalking astronauts.

This August 13, 1995 release of the Journal contains the all of the text for Apollos 11, 12, 14, and 17. Apollo 15 should be available in early 1996 and Apollo 16 in the fall of 1996. As time goes on, links will be established to photos, maps, equipment drawings, background documents, voice tracks, and video clips that will help make the lunar experience as accessible and understandable as possible.
e-mail messages to honais@lanl.gov concerning formatting, typos, errors of fact, and/or general comments will receive prompt attention. Because the Journal is a work in progress, I do not plan to release an ftp version in the immediate future. At the suggestion of Gert-Jan Bartelds, I have added a correction/additions file.
