===Notes:===
- p118 ARIA: Apollo Range Instrumentation Aircraft, EC-135 (like Boeing 707) that relayed voice and recording telemetry.
- p127 PAD: pre-advisory data, spoken numbers uplinked to astronauts to a small form, used for navigation and manual operation in the event of automatic equipment failure
- p130 passing through van Allen belt at "10 km/s": minutes through the inner belt protons, 1.5 hours through the outer belt electrons. In lunar orbital plane, not through the densest equatorial portions of the belts.
p134 TD&E Transposition, docking, and extraction of LM
p136 SLA (spacecraft LM adapter) panel, 4 panels per mission, as many as 36 in heliocentric orbit
