Like its companion, the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, it is intended to be a resource for all those interested in the Apollo program, whether in a passing or scholarly capacity.

This journal covers the flight of Apollo 7, from launch to splashdown. As a "living document" it will continue to grow and evolve and major changes will be intimated in the appropriate internet groups. It is the current intention of the authors to bring all the manned Apollo flights to this site.

Journals for other Apollo flights are available at the AFJ Portal.
