Restoring images from the first lunar orbiter missions has been added as a related post - related requested by oritteropo.

My dad was part of the unmanned missile program. I'm still email buds with one of his co-workers (now 91 years old!) They do talk amongst themselves and this was forwarded to me:



I was working at Kennedy Space Center for McDonnell Douglas and worked on the launch of this mission. I was a Guidance and Controls Engineer on the console in the firing room (the Launch Control Center). McDonnell Douglas built the S-IVb stage….the upper stage….and the one that restarted when in orbit to send the Command Module and Lunar Module on their way to the moon….
