EP-95 ON THE MOON WITH APOLLO 16

---

 

The companies that built scientific equipment for the Apollo program, including 17, are shown here. Clearly, I could not list every company that produced a small screw; there would be too many. So I have chosen to list those companies, or governmental agencies, that contributed significantly to the design, building, etc., of hardware.
