Apollo 11 Mission Commentary, U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) simply interference between VHF radios between the two Apollo 10 vehicles. With the cut-off of the S-IVB's first burn, the vehicle is in orbit and the acceleration drops to zero. Use is subject to the Smithsonian, Allan Needell (Curator Emeritus, National Air and Space Museum). At the top of the turbopump shaft is the LOX pump with a single, large inlet in-line with the turboshaft axis. Downrange, 1,400 [nautical] miles [2,593 km] now. This came to be known as the Apollo 11 conspiracy. It shows how the acceleration experienced by the crew varies over the course of the Saturn's ascent. including reports of a base on the dark side of the moon. This mode extends to about 35.5 km altitude. CC-Transcript Open Close. At the very top of the launch vehicle, between the S-IVB and the spacecraft, is a ring, only 1-metre-tall, called the IU (Instrument Unit). This is usually achieved by firing small rockets to settle the tank's contents to one end. As a matter of fact, Im way overdue for a meal myself, here. Now you saw dust during descent, I think, around 40 feet, something like that, 30 feet maybe.Aldrin: Yes it was Collins: But its pattern is such that it sprays out horizontally, and it doesnt really come up and engulf you, huh?Aldrin: All the stuff looks like very light tan and gray, you know, thatsthats the color of it. The spacecraft separated, and the Eagle began its descent to the lunar surface. Collins: How was lift-off? Graph of engine thrust rise during F-1 startup. You all just finished a meal not long ago, too, didnt you?Aldrin: Im still eating.McCandless: Okay. A similar sound was picked up and recorded recently by the Cassini spacecraft when it was orbiting Saturn. 16 July 1969. KSC-69PC-397 - Apollo 11 after pitchover. Amateur Archeologist Believes He Knows Location of Holy Grail, The Incorporation of the United States of America, The Mysterious Death of Stanley Meyer and His Water-Powered Car. Cliff Charlesworth taking a staging status. PDF file (18.0 MB). Apollo 11 Mission Mission Operations Report(AS-506) Post-Launch Information. This is the Iterative Guidance Mode (IGM) whereby the guidance system is now actively plotting a course to the point in space and velocity where it will insert the vehicle into orbit. On the way home, they put on some tunes. Image Above: Apollo 11 Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin. run duration 16 minutes), infinity focus. This platform's ability to stabilise itself is such that without external influence it would stay in a constant orientation with respect to the stars even while Earth turns and it would therefore appear to slowly rotate, even though it is actually Earth that is rotating. The Apollo 11 spacecraft sits atop its Saturn V launch vehicle on Pad 39A at the John F. Kennedy Space Center and announcements on the progress of the countdown are made by the Public Affairs Officer (PAO) Jack King, the 'Voice of Apollo'. The record of communications between the crew and the Mission Control Center, through 'CapCom' (the Capsule Communicator) commences soon after lift-off. ]Armstrong: Charlie, could you copy our music down there?Duke: Did we copy what, Neil?Armstrong: Did you copy our music down there?Duke: Rog. There are two reasons for this rise. [Garble] automatic light control features.Collins: Well, that pisses me off! After that, it is released and will maintain its orientation with respect to the stars. Randy Cramers life experiences are either incredible or absurd. S69-31740 (May 1969) --- The prime crew of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. Sometimes, they sound just like a group of guys on a road trip. Over.Collins: Okay. Six seconds after the jettison of the escape tower, the guidance mode of the Saturn changes from dumb to smart, from open loop to closed loop. I mean felt tip.Collins: [Garble] much embarrassed to say theyve lost a Hasselblad. Range safety is concerned with ensuring that if the rocket were to go wayward, it would do so without threatening injury or death to those on the ground. Gaia guides people on their personal transformational paths with the worlds largest library of exclusive and original conscious media. All indications coming in to the control center at this time indicate we are Go. Right . They twisted their torsos from side to side, jumped up and down, and shifted their weight from foot to foot. At the time of each Apollo mission launch, NASA prepared a set of printed "as flown" stowage lists to document what items were to be stored on the spacecraft (both the Command Module and Lunar Module), which items were to be transferred from one to another before landing and after rendezvous in lunar orbit following the successful landing. The yaw at launch and the roll to align the rocket with the launch azimuth were two of these. Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, walks on the surface of the moon. Whether there is any validity to these theories is up for debate, but some are so intriguing they cant be ignored. The world heard communications between the crew and Mission Control live as they happened. As planned, control of the flight now passes from the Launch Control Center at Cape Kennedy, Florida to the Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas. Instead, during a One-Bravo abort, a pair of canards at the tip of the LET would deploy to force the CM-tower combination to adopt a CM-first attitude. 16 July 1969. On the surface, during humanitys greatest pit stop, Armstrong and Aldrin stretched their legs. About 12 minutes later, the crew is in Earth orbit. And it bounces and then (garbled).Aldrin: Reaching down is fairly easy. View Flickr image. Are you on your way? Its X-axis pointed straight up and its Y-axis pointed to true north. However, while the launch vehicle is sitting on the pad, the platform must not gyrocompass. The transcript begins at the start of a hold in the Apollo 11 countdown at the three-and-a-half-hour point before launch. Downrange, 530 [nautical] miles [982 km]; altitude, 95 [nautical] miles [176 km]; velocity, 17,358 feet per second [5,291 m/s]. Theres the biggest one yet. Photo filed 21 March 1969 - Scan by Kipp Teague. At this altitude and beyond, the air is too thin for the LET canards to be effective so after an abort, the tower and BPC would be jettisoned and control of the CM's attitude would go to the its manoeuvring thrusters. Velocity 25,254 feet per second [7,697 km]. In fact, Fred Haise is the back-up Lunar Module Pilot. As the flow of fuel and LOX rises to maximum, the chamber pressure, and therefore thrust, is monitored to confirm that the required force has been achieved. Every decision we make is inspired by our vision to empower a community of individuals to come together to build a more conscious world. Scan by Kipp Teague. The Saturn's guidance computer then performs 'tilt arrest'. After a major loss of human lives during a battle between the military forces and native people of Mars, he was deployed back to the moon where he spent his final three years as a military pilot. While its difficult to tell whether these conversations actually happened with the anonymous sources and classified information, one thing that stands out is the fact that NASA lost a significant amount of high quality, slow-scan television footage that was made as backup for television broadcast. Explanation: The "Rice Stadium Moon Speech" by John F. Kennedy tells the audience all of the positive impacts that going to . This adjusts engine thrust during flight to optimise stage performance. Right away, the views were gorgeous. There, communication with the crew is handled by an astronaut sitting at the CapCom console; in this case, Bruce McCandless. This image of the Apollo 11 landing site captured from just 24 km (15 miles) above the surface provides LRO's best look yet at humanity's first venture to another world. Rising combustion-induced pressure on the injector plate actuates the ignition monitor valve, directing hydraulic fluid to open the main fuel valves. Unlike the Shuttle with its solid rocket boosters which gave no escape option during their operation, the Saturn had so-called 'abort modes' throughout its ascent, even during first stage boost. With the turbopump at full speed, fuel pressure exceeds hydraulic pressure supplied from ground equipment. HONEYSUCKLE (REV 1) 00 01 02 48 CC Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston on S-band. The S-IC requires 1.3 million litres, that for the S-II takes 331,000 litres and the S-IVB's LOX tank requires 77,000 litres. it provides a flame to initiate and maintain full combustion. From page 3-68 of the Apollo 11 Flight Plan, the camera was set to 6 fps (max. Find that mother before she or I ends the [garble]. Apollo 11 Mission Report - 1971 Version (archive.org). Collins: Id like to enter Aldrin in the oatmeal eating contest next time. We're through the region of maximum dynamic pressure now. We sure did. The solution adopted from Apollo 10 onwards was to shut that engine down before the vibrations were expected. Armstrong was elected an APS Member in 2001. This is Apollo Control. We use cookies and similar technologies to run this website and help us make recommendations for you. Soon after launch, the vehicle will roll around in order to match that orientation before commencing a preprogrammed pitch manoeuvre to send it heading for low Earth orbit. With the loss of the escape tower, the flight moves to abort mode two. [Owen Garriott, in Mission Control]: That does sound pretty good. Scan by Kipp Teague. The crew members were travel-weary, ready to sleep in their own beds and feel the gravity of their own planet. In the attached database, the recordings that are virtually inaudible are highlighted, but they are available on the web to ensure a complete release of the recordings made during the mission. Capcom Bruce McCandless giving the reports here from the Control Center. HTML page. The richer mixture reduces the thrust slightly but also increases engine efficiency. Cut-off of the central or inboard engine engine of the S-IC as acceleration nears 4g. Then we could see all those Collins: [Garble] were you very stable? Armstrong: It was incredible of course, we had always known there was a possibility the fact is, we were warned off. Cut-off of the inboard engine of the S-II at a peak of approximately 1.8g. A single tape may include recordings from several different periods of the mission. Now that the vehicle is essentially in a vacuum, the computer can react to its actual position and velocity and issue steering commands to the engines as required to reach its goal. Is anybody missing a ballpoint pen?Aldrin: Got mine. Although, what is intriguing about this supposed account is that there were two minutes of video and radio silence when Armstrong and Aldrin left the lunar module. The three exhaust fans emanating from these three motors are very apparent. 6:306-Minute Listen. Which one do you want? Credit: NASA. I see a pen floating loose down here, too. The PAO also switches, and Jack King relinquishes the commentary to the Houston PAO, whose voice is heard from now on. If were late in answering you, Collins told Mission Control several hours after they launched from Cape Canaveral, its because were munching sandwiches.. The interstage, or skirt, exists in its form because of the need to separate the two stages across two planes. Note the reduced angle of the graph. This website replays the Apollo 11 mission as it happened, 51 years ago. The transcript is currently not comprehensive nor continuous. The countdown still proceeding satisfactorily. No. RP stands for 'rocket propellant' which in this case has been highly refined to minimise the fuel's sulphur content. The collection contains 80 transcripts (approximately 45,000 pages of text). Everybody look for a floating Hasselblad. This will align the vehicle's coordinate system with that of the platform. Researchers Have Created a Device That Can Hear Your Inner Voice, Guo Wengui Says Flight MH-370 Brought Down By Chinese Government. a contractor at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston who did a similar project for the Apollo 11 anniversary last summer . Answer: They both create excitement and enthusiasm for space exploration by using words of motivation and intrigue; The "Rice Stadium Moon Speech" recalling past human's discoveries, and "Apollo 11 Transcript" describing the first actual exploration of the moon. Supercold LH. 16 July 1969. There it is.Armstrong: When do we have to get these? Mealtimes were peaceful times, perfect for some light ribbing. The July 1969 landing of the Eagle, the manned module of NASA's Apollo 11 lunar mission, marked the fulfillment of President Kennedy's goal of reaching the moon within a decade.Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. made the landing; Michael Collins piloted the command module that returned the three safely to Earth. It has already been prealigned to a azimuth of 72.058, the rocket's intended heading. We're approaching the 60-second mark on the Apollo 11 mission. Mode One-Bravo is similar except the pitch control motor would not be required since the vehicle would have tilted over enough to aim an escaping CM out to sea. He was one of approximately 300 girls and boys who were covertly drafted to participate in the program. The helium provides control pressure for the engine's valves while the hydrogen is used to spin up the turbopumps before the gas generator is ignited. These transcripts are among several other accounts of astronauts in the Apollo program experiencing strange phenomena. Beautiful!Aldrin: Yes, theres a big mother over here, too.Collins: Come on now, Buzz, dont refer to them as big mothers. Max-Q occurs at 1 minute and 23 seconds into the flight. The Apollo 11 flight transcripts capture these buoyant moments in a sea of jargon about spacecraft systems. Note that this form of guidance is not trying to aim for a particular point. Before it begins to tilt over, the vehicle needs to roll 18 around the X-axis so that the minus Z-axis, previously facing east, faces along the planned heading, in this case 72 east of north.
