Silent footage of the Apollo space flight simulator constructed by Air Force ROTC members at Oregon State University. The goal of the Apollo Project was to construct a three-man space simulator and train a crew for a final 48-hour simulated flight. According to a report in the January 16, 1962 edition of the Barometer newspaper, the crew would conduct test flights during which they would apply navigation principles to maintain a prescribed course of flight. The simulator was constructed of aluminum and plywood.
