NASSP Is there glossary/overview of Apollo systems?

Hi

I was wondering if there were a glossary or schematic overview of the different systems used in Apollo.

It's all well and good sitting in the CM following checklists and flicking the right swtiches but this seems pointless without an understanding of what those switches are doing.

While the function of some of them is fairly obvious or can be guessed at, many remain a mystery. I understand the basic concepts and technology of rocket science but there is a gap between this knowledge and the highly detailed panels of NASSP.

So any advice appreciated!

Some infos about the CSM are here in our wiki: http://nassp.sf.net/wiki/Command/Service_Module
(scroll down to see the links to the subsystem articles)

Other than that I can recommend the original documentation, especially the Apollo Operations Handbook, some links are here: http://nassp.sf.net/wiki/References

Cheers

Thanks. I didn't realise how detailed the wiki was!
