My 2001 copy of Uplink-Downlink was printed by GPO and is 674 pages of
10-point type. I would not want to scan it! Anyway, it was only $25 from an
Abebooks seller including tax and shipping and is in near-new condition
including a plastic-wrapped dust jacket.

I didn't even notice the fold-out. Thanks, Hal! Looks like mine has never
been folded out.

$30. Check the fine print. At least one says print on demand.
My copy is in near perfect condition. Page 127/8 is a 3 page fold out diagram.
It's 650 pages, way more than I will ever read, but if somebody sends a note
My copy is an original, bought from one of the Abebooks sellers. It’s a
huge book and the type is on the small side; I’m still working my way
through the Introduction. Looks like a lot of good information.

Hi Jim,
This explains a lot of things. As an old time user of the Moon Bounce
time synchronization in the Madrid Space Complex, I can say that the
system was never popular among the users, it was cumbersome to use and
there were already other systems with better accuracy and availability,
That’s it! And Author Mudgway turns out to be from Sonoma, a town in my

Apparently, they used moonbounce between DSN stations to synchronize to
5 microseconds in 1968. It was easier and cheaper than flying cesium
clocks around. (And the Rb standards weren't good enough).
