Hi,
stumbled across Project Apollo while researching on the Apollo missions.

Reviewing the information on Panel Controls and Displays, section Apollo Operations Handbook in the Wiki, I realised the nasa.gov link to the handbook no longer works. After some research, I found the complete Apollo Operations Handbook on NASA's Apollo Lunar Surface Journal site, Command and Service Module Documentation page: I believe the correct reference is https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/static/history/alsj/SM2A-03-BK-II-(1).pdf (section/page 3-1 ff., PDF page 650 ff.) – though I'd recommend linking the Wayback Machine link instead (or additionally) as this is unlikely to go away: https://web.archive.org/web/https:/...ads/static/history/alsj/SM2A-03-BK-II-(1).pdf

I can't fix the Wiki myself as I need to register first but for some reason my (German ISP) public IP is on some "proxy IP" list which prevents me from creating an account.

HTH,

Hello and welcome,

The wiki largely hasn't been updated since 2007ish and is very out of date in a lot of ways. We actually rescued it from its old sourceforge-hosted site a few years ago, so we're lucky we have it at all. I have tried to update some parts of it here and there, but it's an insurmountablly huge task. We could definitely use some help updating things if your interested.

come see us on discord: https://discord.gg/ceUvBbY3bQ

@Thymo can probably help you out.
