The Apollo 11 lunar modules, Columbia and Eagle, and all their different systems, were subjected to almost 600,000 inspections, tests that exposed the communications, electrical, and rocket subsystems to a battery of shocks, vibrations, heat, fire and ice.
The new Apollo command module, redesigned to prevent accidents like the disastrous fire that destroyed the first Apollo, performed well throughout extensive tests of its big maneuvering rocket, electrical and navigational systems.
Investigators also collected duct tape and handcuff boxes from DiMaggio's home, along with a Yosemite camping printout, cut electrical cords, model rocket containers and two used condoms, the documents said.
Topics within these disciplines include fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, heat and mass transfer, computational mechanics, flight vehicle aerodynamics, solid mechanics, structural design and analysis, the study of engineering materials, structural dynamics, and propulsion and energy conversion from both fluid/thermal (gas turbines and rockets) and electrical devices.
Also taken from DiMaggio's property were empty boxes of camping gear and ammunition, a Yosemite camping printout, incendiary devices, "arson wire," model rocket containers, cut electrical cords and two used condoms, the documents said.
The full payload of a dozen can be fired in fewer than 10 seconds, via electrical circuits that ignite the rockets' propellants, putting them to flight.
It says it will now reduce supplies of diesel fuel, gasoline and even electrical power in response to recent rocket barrages.
These swing arms carried fueling lines and electrical and data cables to the rocket; the top one served as the astronauts' walkway to the Apollo spacecraft.
On Wednesday evening, a Qassam rocket managed to hit an electrical transformer, knocking out power to the town of about 24,000 people.
In a separate raid near Kirkuk, in northern Iraq, soldiers found eight surface-to-air missiles, 196 helicopter rockets, a machine gun and electrical switches suitable for homemade bombs.
