- Summary
- This three-ring booklet was a checklist of tasks to be performed and was used by astronaut William Anders in his capacity of Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 8 mission in December 1968. The Apollo 8 mission was the first mission to leave Earth orbit and travel to the Moon, launched from a Saturn V vehicle. While Apollo 8 did not have a lunar lander attached, the mission proved that the systems would function well and it would be possible to navigate to and from the Moon. During the 20 hours Apollo 8 orbited the Moon the astronauts tested the craft systems, took photographs, and scouted future landing sites.
- After the mission, the checklist was displayed in the Manned Spacecraft Center auditorium. Ownership of the checklist was transferred to the National Air and Space Museum from NASA - Johnson Space Center in 1973 and transferred to NASM for display in 1976.
