NAS9-150, APOLLO PROGRAM PLAN (28-NOV-1962)., The objective of this document is to describe the effort planned (as of 11 October 1962)to design and develop the Apollo command module, service module, and spacecraft adapter, and to integrate the lunar excursion module (LEM) into the total spacecraft design. During the period through 15 May 1965, effort will be concentrated on development of the basic spacecraft systems. This effort will culminate in manned earth-orbital flights. Specific plans for integration of the LEM and development testing of the complete spacecraft will be added in a revision after the LEM associate contractor, NASA, and S&ID representatives have established requirements for this phase of the program.
