Additional Details

The control stick in each spacecraft allowed three axis rotation based on hand movements of either tilting left/right, tilting forward/back, or twisting left/right. These movements could command firing of the small attitude control engines for rotational maneuvers or the position of the large propulsion engine of the Command Module. Signed: "Gene Cernan, Apollo XVII" on the left side of the control stick.
