Collection of NASA technical manuals for Mercury & Gemini | Spacecraft Engineering Workgroup | Forum

A great source for the SEW: This site has .pdf copies of a lot of old, official NASA documentation, including familiarisation manuals (for the astronauts) and maintenance manuals (for ground technicians) for the Mercury and Gemini spacecraft.  The manuals are full of detailed descriptions and diagrams of all the subsystems for both of these craft.  Of course, we should be trying to innovate over these old solutions where possible, but it's good to be able to see exactly how certain problems have been solved in the past.

Happy reading!
