FLIGHT PLAN DESCRIPTION

DAY 1

Launch

Day 1 begins with launch at ll:00 A.M. EST (1600 GMT) from Pad 39A witha launch azimuth of 72°. Insertion into a 103-nm e_reular orbit occurs

at i0 minutes, 49 seconds after lift-off. At insertion, the CSM/I_/S-IVB

combination will go into orbit rate with the S/C in heads down attitude.

CSM/S-IVB Orbital Operation

_TImmediately _fter insertion, the crew begins a series of CSM _-_VB orbital

operations. This activity is to configure the CSM for orbital operatio_is,

prepare for transposition, docking and ejection and to eva]l_te the opera-

tions required to verify that the CSM and S-IVB would be ready for TLI on

a lunar mission. The actual TLI burn will not be performed on this mission.The GO/N0 GO for orbit is given at Carnarvon on the first pass. Followingsunrise, the pre-TLI demonstration_is concluded and the C0AS and ORDEALbox are mounted.

Transposition, Doekin_ and LM Ejection

G0/N0 GO for T&D is given at 2:30 GET during the second pass over Car-narvon.

At this time the S-IVB IU is enabled by ground command. At 02:34 GET, the

S-IVB goes to inertial attitude hold for TD&E. The CSM separates from the

LM/S-IVB after second sunrise and performs a visual inspection of the

LM/S-IVB while formation flying. Docking occurs at 03:00 GET. LM pres-surization begins immediately after docking. To pressurize the tunnel *

and IN, the three 1-pound repress bottles and the surge tank will be used.

The 1-pound bottles are discharged until empty, and the surge tank is

dumped to 500 psia. The surge tank is then recharged and the process re-

peated until tunnel and CM cabin pressures are equal. The tunnel bleed

valve is left open to allow CM 02 to flow continuously into the tunneland IN. A state vector update is uplinked over the U.S. at 03:15 GET.

As soon as the tunnel and IN pressure have been verified, the tunnel is_

configured for ejection. The GO/NO GO for ejection is given o%er

Carnarvon at 04:00 GET. At third sunrise, the CSM/LM is ejected from theSLA.

Evasive Maneuver and S-IVB Restarts

Immediately following ejection, the SCS does a 3-second, 4-Jet, -X RCS

translation. At burn attitude, the CSM is 50° pitched down from the S-IVB+X axis. This evasive maneuver is performed to get the CSM/LM at least500 feet away from the S-IVB when the first S-IVB restart occurs. The

GO/N0 GO for the S-IVB restart is given at Hawaii at 0h:2_ GET. The

S-IVB returns to local horizontal attitude at 0h:25 GET, and the firstS-IVB restart occurs at 04:45:41 GET. The second S-IVB restart is at

06:07 GET. S-IVB LOX smd LH2 dumping is completed by 06:_2 GET.

SPS Burn No. 1

Over Ascension at 05.00 GET the CSM, is sent a target load and a maneuverpad for the first SPS burn. The preferred IP_J orientation for SPS No. 1

is calculated onhoard, and the IMU is realigned to that orientation during

the fourth night pass. The first SPS burn occurs at 06:01:40 GET over

IIawaii. Burn time is 5.0 seconds and the AV is 36.8 fps. No ullage is

required. The burn is posigrade, and apogee is raised to ]3] rim.l

Daylight Star Check and SXT Calibration

Over Texas at 06:20 GET, the CSM receives an update of the attitude re-

quired for the daylight staz check. The daylight star check begins15 minutes prior to the fifth sunrise and runs until l0 minutes aftersunrise. _his star identification exercise is done to determine if the

optics are degraded by the light reflected from the surfaces of the LM.

During the next night pass, a sextant calibration is performed using the

Midcourse Navigation program. This calibration is done to detenaine any

trunnion bias angle between the sextant lines of sight.

Rest

Rest period begins at 9:00 GET (8:00 P.M. EST) and lasts 9 1/2 hours.

DAY 2

Day 2 begins at 18:30 GET (5:30 A.M. EST).

SPS Burn No. 2

An IMU orientation determination is done during the first night pass of

the day. A state vector, a target ]oad and maneuver pad for the secondSPS burn are given the CSM over the Eastern Test Range at 20:II0 GET. The

preferred IMU orientation is calculated onboard, and the following night• pass the IMU is realigned to the preferred orientation. SPS Burn No. 2

occurs at 22:12:00 GET over the Cape. Burn time is lll_l seconds and the

AV is 850_I fps. No ullage is required. The burn is out-of-plane and

• posigrade and raises apogee to L92 nm. During this burn the DAP stability

test is run _ith 40% amplitude stroking•

SPS Burn No. 3

Over the U.S. at 23:55 GET the CSM receives a state vector, target

load and a maneuver pad for the third SPS Burn._ The preferred IMUorientation is calculated onboard, and the IMU is realigned during the

next night pass. SPS Burn No. 3 occurs at 25:18:30 GET over the C_pe. "Burn time is 279.4 seconds and the AV is 2549.1 fps. No ullage is required.

The burn is targeted mostly out-of-plane, and raises apogee to 271 nm.

The DAP stability test is run again, this time with full amplitudestroking. Manual thrust vector control is used for the last 45 secondsof the burn.

SPS Burn No. 4

State vector, target load and maneuver pad for the fourth SPS burn are

given to the CSM over Texas at 26:50 GET ....The preferred IMU orientation

' is calculated onboard, and the IMU is realigned during the next hightpass. SPS Burn No. 4 occurs at 28:28:20 GET over Texas. Burn time is

28.0 seconds and AV is 300.0 fps. Four-Jet, 18-second ullage used.

Targeting for the burn is out-of-plane. The orbit remains 271 nm byll5 nm.

Rest

Rest period begins at 30:00 GET (5:00 P.M. EST) and lasts for 9 1/2 hours.

DAY 3

Day 3 begins at 39;30 GET (2;30 A.M. EST). If required, tunnel and LM

pzessurization begins immediately. The surge tank and l-lb bottles are_sed in the tame manner as at T&D. State vector and desired IMU

orientation for the Docked DPS Burn are upl!nked to the CSM over the

Huntsville ate41:05 GET.i

IVT to LM & LM Activation

All crewmen don their PGA's. IVT GO/NO GO decision is at the Canaries

at 41:55 GET. After clearing the tunnel hardware, the I/4Ptransfers to

the LM. The LMP activates the LM EPS, ECS, COMM, and I_ST systems.

During the first night pass after the LMP's IVT, the CMP performs P51,

IMU Orientation Determination, with the CSM approximately out-of-plane.

If time is available, P52, IMU Realign, is performed aligning the CSMplatform to the Docked DPS Burn REFSMMAT.

The CDR transfers to the LM at 43:05. When_the CDR completes his transfer

the tunnel hardware installation begins.

LM Systems Evaluation

A series of systems tests are performed to verify the operation of and

gather data on the LM systems and system interactions. A daylight AOT

star visibility check is performed at 43:55 GET. The S-Band steerable

antenna check occurs over Carnarvon at 44:03.

The primary and secondary EVA COMMModes are checked with the_LMP connected

to the PLSS COMM starting at 45:30. During the MILA pass at 46:27 GET,

the TV COMM Mode is verifed using the TV inside the LM for the entire

MILA pass. Interior shots of the LM are made with wide angle lens.

Docked LM IMU Alignment

The proced1_e for aligning the LM platform does not require star sightings,thus saves RCS propellant. It takes advantage of a known CSM inertial

attitude and known CSM/LM geometry to coarse align the LM IMU to the

inertial frame. The LM platform is coarse aligned by 47:38 and the CSM

and LM gimbal angles are voiced to MCC. MCC calcualtes the fine align

torquing angles.

After RCS pressurization and cold fire check, the LM DAP is set and theDPS gimbal drive is checked. While driving the gimbals, the DPS throttle

check is performed. The RCS engines are then hot fired.

At _8:10 GET over Bermuda, the MCC updates the LM and CSM state vectors tothe CSM and the LM state vector to the LM. The LM MNVR PAD is voiced to

the crew for the Docked DPS Burn. REFSMMAT is uplinked to the LGC.

00000001-TSC05

Page 17: ; APOLLO 9 FLIGHTPLAN - NASA · The Apollo 9 Flight Plan is under the configuration control of ... Items 5hat impose additional crew training or impact crew ... and apogee is raised

The fine align torquing angles are voiced to the crew, the gyro_ aretorqued via the DSKY, and the REFSMMAT Flag is set.

The CSM & LM REFSMMATS are identical for the Docked DPS Burn. The

REFSMMAT gives zero LM FDAI roll, pitch, and yaw angles at the burn ........

attitude (ou-of_plane). C?'qFDAI angles at the burn attitude are

300° roll, 180 ° pitch, and 0° yaw. With the platform aligned, thecrew initializes the AGS. AGS zero time (or K-factor) is 40:00.

Landing & Rendezvous Radar Self Tests

At 48:16 GET the LR is self-tested in both the desent and hover positions ..............................................................

Since the RR was unstowed immediately prior to the Daylight AOT Star

Observation, the standard RR self-test is performed.

Docked DPS Burn

The DPS is pressurized at 48:40. Beginning at sunset at 48:40, the

CMP realigns the CSM platform the REFSNnMAT. Again the CSM & LM gimbal

angles are obtained-for LM platform realignmnet. The gimbal angles are

voiced to MCC. The crew torques the gyros after receiving the torquing

angles at 49:]0 GET. AGS update and alignment follows the LM IMU

realignment.

The CSM trims the CSM/LM to the Docked DPS burn attitude while the CDR

and LMP monitor the maneuver. The CMP targets P30, External AV and entersP40, SPS Thrust. P40 is used to monitor the LM DPS Burn. In the LM,

the External AV program, P30, and the AGS External AV routine are targeted

for the Docked DPS burn. The DPS Thrust Program, P40, is entered and the _AGS is used in the follow-up mode, The LM assumes attitude control at

TIG -6 min. The manual throttle profile is described in Section 4,

DOCKED DPS BURN, page 4-42. Docked DPS Burn occurs over Texas at

49:42:00 GET. The throttle-down from fixed-throttle-point occurs on

AV at 124 fps. The engine is manually shut down 3 sec before automaticengine shutdown ..........Total Burn time is 367 seconds.

After the burn the Landing Radar self test and AGS calibration are

performed.

Sublimator Dry-Out

When the tunnel is clear, the CDR transfers to the CM. The LMP thenconnects to the transfer umbilical. He remains in the LM until the

sublimator is dry. The LM is powered down leaving on only the necessaryheaters on the translunar bus. Power is switched to the CM at 51:00 GET.

SPS Burn No. 5

MCC updates the CSM state vector, a target load, and voices up a

maneuver pad over Texas at 52:50 GET. The preferred IMU orientation is

cmlculated onboard, and the IMU is realigned during the next night pass.

DAY 4

Day 4 begins at _ 67:00 GET (6:00 A.M. EST); tunnel and LM pressurization

begin immediately, if required.

IVT to LM

, The crewmen don their PGA's and the tunnel is cleared by 69:22 GET. TheLMP then transfers through the tunnel into the IN. CSM IMU orientation is

determined during the next night pass. MCC upllnks the CSM state vector and

desired orientation over Honeysuckle at 69:52 GET. The LMP activates the

, LM EPS, ECS, COMM, and INST, systems. The CDR transfers to the IN andconnects to the LM ECS ....The tunnel hardware is installed and the LM hatch

is closed at 70:25 GET.

Attitude Control for EVA

The GNCS is used for the attitude control during EVA. The CMP realigns the

CSM platform to the uplinked preferred orientation during the night pass

starting at 71:00 GET. After the IMU is realigned, the CSM FDAI reads zero ....degrees roll, pitch, and yaw at the desired L_A attitude.

The attitude is determined by positioning the CSM -Z axis toward the sun,

with the +X axis Rointing south, then pitching the CSM 15° down and rollingleft 80°. This attitude is held within the maximum deadband. The

QUAD A & B SM RCS thrusters are disabled to avoid RCS Jet impingement on theLMP during EVA.

Preparation for EVA ,

After the tunnel hardware installation, standard ECS, EPS and COMM checks

are performed. The crew then prepare for EVA. All EVA prep procedures aredescribed in the EVA Procedure Document..

Before the LMP dons the PLSS and OPS, the CDR and LMP reverse stations.

The CDR holds the PLSS/OPS during the donning preparation. Over Honeysuckle

Creek and the Mercury, the PLSS communication checks are performed. See

the Communications Plan, Section 5 for details of the EVA comm.

All three crewmen don their helmets and gloves and verify the spacecraft

cabins are preparmd for depress. The LMP and CDR verify the pressure in-

tegrity of their PGA's and then depress the LM. While the LM depresses,

the CMP checks the pressure integrity of his PGA. When the LM is fully

depressurized, the LM hatch is opened and the LMP verifies proper suit

cooling. The CSM is then depressurized and the CM side hatch opened.

EVA

Two sequence cameras record the EVA. One is attached to the inside of the

CSM hatch. When the CMP opens the hatch, the camera "looks" down the transferpath. The other sequence camera is attached to the LM handrail. The LMP

egresses the LM at 73:07 and attaches a sequence camera to the LM handrail.

_mmm_

Both cameras are operated by remote control by the CMP and the CDR at

desired times during the h_A. After installing the camera, the IMP donsthe "golden slippers" and rests ......................

Using the nominal transfer path, the LMP transfers to and partiallyingresses the CSM, demonstrating extravehicular transfer. The transfer

is timed and should require less than 15 minutes. During the EVA, the CDR feeds out and keeps taut the EVA tether.

While at the CSM, the I_P retrieves thermal samples. After handing thesamples to the CMP and resting_ the LMP transfers back to the LM. The

LMP dons the "golden slippers", rests, then passes the sequence camerato the CDR. Thermal samples on the LM are retrieved and handed to theCDR for stowage.

During the night pass and the remainder of the EVA, the LMP is restrained

to the LM porch with tethers and "golden slippers". Exterior lighting isevaluated for illuminat.ion of the transfer path.

During the next daylight pass, the LMP photographs the LM and CSM. Whileboth spacecraft are over Goldstone and MILA, the LMP will use the TV

camera to photograph the exterior of the CSM and LM using the wide anglelens. At 75:23 GET the LMP ingresses the LM and the CDR closes the LMFWD hatch.

With the LM overhead hatch dump valve in DUMP, LM oxygen repressurizes the

tunnel at the same time the LM is repressurized. CSM repressurization

occurs immediately after LM repress. When the LM and CM pressures are

3.0 psia, the CSM pressure equalization valve is opened and LM 02 "pressurizes both spacecraft to 5.0 psia. Systems are then configuredfor post-EVA operations.

PLSS Recharge

The PLSS oxygen and water are recharged to 90% and the battery and LiOHcartridge are replaced. PLSS recharge in completed by 76:20 GET. Theprimary LiOH cartridge is then replaced.

Sublimator Dry-Out

Sublimator dry-out is accomplished in the same manner as Day 3. Duringthe dry-out, the LMP is connected to the CSM transfer umbilical.

Rest Period

Rest Period begins at 79:00 GET (6:00 P.M. EST) and lasts approximately7 1/2 hours.

DAY 5

Day 5 begins at 86:30 GET (1:30 A.M. EST). Tunnel and LM pressurizationbegin immediatelj, if required.

IVT to LMr

'l_e CSM IMU orientation is determined during the f_r_t night p:Lss of the

day. The crew then don their }'OA's _Id. elear t,he tunnel. At 89:00 GET,the LMP transfers through the tunnel to the LM.

Over the Mercury at 89:03, the MCC uplink the CSM and LM state vectors

and the desired orientation for rendezvous to the CMC and voices the CS!,4

DAP load. The CSM preferred orientation for the rende[_vc.us is that of a

nominal align for the time of alignment equal to TIG of TP].

The CDR transfers to the LM after the LMP activates the LM. The Rendezvous

Day 124 checkout procedures where designed to simulate the lunar mission

docked pre-DOI checkout as closely as possible. The DPS and RCS were

pressurized on Day 3 thus cannot be done on Day 5. '_he criteria, however,

was that all checks made where those that, if the cheeks failed, the lunarmission would be aborted.

Preparation for Undockin_

The CSM realigns to the preferred option at 90:25 GET. After the CSM is

aligned, the LM platform is coarse aligned as described on Day 3 and the

gimbal angles are voiced to MCC over the Mercury at 90:42 GET. The MCC also

uplinks the LM and CSM state vectors and REFSM_AT to the LGC at 91:07.

The LM rendezvous REFSMMAT is that of a nominal alignment at TIG of TPI.

Over the U.S. at 91:lO GET, MCC voices the gyro torquing angles to the LM.The LM and CSM platforms are oriented so that the stable member axes axerelated as follows :

_M = -ZcM

w

Y =YLM CM

m

Z =XLM CM

The LM Rendezvous Radar is self-tested at 91:58 GET. Over Honeysuckle at92:02 the maneuver pads for the phasing burn are voiced to the crew. The

•CSM then trims to the undocklng attitude and at 92:39 GET the CSM extends

the probe. The vehicles are then undoeked.

SM RCS gei_arat_on and I)PS Phasing

The detailed r_mdezvous procedures are domm_ented in the CSMRendezvousP_'oeedures Document and the LM Rendezvou_ Procedures Document. After

undoekinF_, the LM rotates for the CMP's inspection of the LM landing gear.

'l_m CSM then tarcets for tile separation burn. Using the RCS thrust Pro-

gr:ua, P)6], t.}1_, CSM s(_,arates with a radially down burn of 5 fps AV.

, As the :lepa.r:i.t:[ondi::t:mee i_,oreases, tile 1,M I{R i,_ turned on, ioeked onto

the CSM tr',,n_;po**der,checked and positioned for the ]MU :iJlIcnment. The LM

plrttl'orm :is s/igned to REFSMMAT using the AOT for the first time. The

CSI4 _iso rea/.iffj_sto I_EFCMMAT. 'l_e RR is aF_ain turned on _md locked on

the CSM. At 93:50:03.6 GET over the Mercury the LM performs phasing with

a DPS burn to achieve 85 fps AV. Phasing is an AGS controlled burn; the

PGNCS residuals are. hulled after the burn°

Insertion

When the residuals are hulled, the P20, Rendezvous Navigation program, is

entered and, for the first time, RR data is use£ to update the LM state

vector. The CMP also begins taking sextant marks to update the CMC'sLM state vector.

By 94:10 the CSM and LM have a TPI O solution; these are reported to the

MCC. After passing the maximum separation distance in the "football",

the LM RR again locks on. The LM arld CSM again take marks.

At 94:50 GET the CSM and.LM both again have TPI O solutions. If the spacecraft

are GO for the nominal rendezvous, they both begin to realign their plat-

forms to REFSMMAT. If the decision is NO GO, TPI is executed by the LMo

if it is capable and by the CSM if the LM is not capable of performingthe burn.

h

Upon completing the alignment the RE locks onto the CSM transponder-and the

crew monitor the closest approach of the two vehicles. At 95:41:48.1 over

GYM the LM executes a DPS posigrade burn with a AV of 39.9 fps to insert

the LM into the coelliptic rendezvous sequence.

The CSM is targeted with the same burn one minute later. If during theburn it is decided to maintain the relative motion of the "football" the

CSM can perform such a burn.

CSI, Staging ..............

After the insertion burn, the LM again locks onto the CSM. Both spacecraft

begin taking marks updating the LM state vector in each computer. About

8 minutes prior to CSI, the LM crew configure the LM for staging. At

96:22:00 GET, over Tananarive the LM executes CSI using h RCS jets and the

APS interconnect to burn 37.8 fps retrograde. Immediately after the

initiation of thrust the staging pyros are fired and the LM is staged.

For each of the LM _:endezvous burns, the CSM targets for a "mirror image"

burn. If for some reason the LM cannot perform the burn, the CSM is

prepared to burn one minute after the nominal burn time.

CDH

During the rendezvous 1 the crew will eat as time permits, Afte_ CSI, theRR reaequires the CSM and marks are taken, The CMP also takes marks usin_

the sextant,. The CDR maintains the LM +Z axis pointed towara,_' the CaM

line-of-sight :t30 °. Over the Redstone at P7:06:22.d G_',T, the LM executes

CDH usin_ the APS for a 2.9 _econd burn, CDll is retrograde and AV = 37.9 fps., The LM i_ then eoelllpt_e with the CSM,

TPI to Docklng

For TPI both spacecraft t_ke marks and calculate onboard so]utions. The

LM also updates the AGB LM state vector w_th RR data npproxJmately e_ery

three minutes. The CDR maintains an attitude where the RR shaft and

trunnion angles are zero for the AGS RR updates. When the final LM TPI

solution (P34) is obtained the LM maneuvers to point the LM +7_ at the CSM.

At 98:00:15 GET over Tananarive the LM executes a line-of-sight burn of

21.8 fps.

ImJnediacely after TPI, the LM pitches to point +Z at the CSM. Both space-

craft take marks and target for each mideourse. The first midcourse is

at TPI + i0 minutes, the second at TPI + 22 minutes. After MCC_, the LM

maintains line-of-sight, nulls line-of-sight rates, and performs braking.

The braking schedale is as follows:

30 fps - 6000 ft

20 fps - 3000 ft

i0 fps - 1500 ft

Rendezvous, 0 fps - i00 ft

While formation flying with the CSM, the LM performs attitude control tests

as described in Section h. The-CMP photographs the LM and the LMP photo-

graphs the CSM. At 99:05 the LM and CSM begin the maneuver for docking

and the LM translates to capture latch. Upon capture the CMP retracts the

probe and the LM docks with the CSM.

APS Burn to Depletion

The night pass after docking is used to perform a docked AOT P52 realign

to REFSMN_T. To prepare for the APS burn to depletion the crew takes the

probe and drogue out of the tunnel after the tunnel is pressurized and

stows the probe and drogue on the LM floor. The PGNCB is targeted for _he

APS burn. At 100:45 the CDR transfers to CSM. The LMP prepares the LM

systems for Jettison and the CSM maneuvers to jettison _ttitude.

Just before uransferring to the CSM, the LMP opens the APS interconnect

and leaves the LGC i2- P00. At 101:05 the _ closes the LM hatch.

To minimize helium ingestion into the RCS the crew waits until 101:33 to

Jettison the [_. Immediately after I_ Jettison the CSM maneuvers to

behind the LM and performs a 3 fps RCS b_'n to separate the CSM from theLM. Over Texas MCC again sends commands to the LM and at 102:00 the APS

_gnites and burns to depletion.

DAY 6

Day 6 begins at i13:30 GET (4:30 K_M___EST).

SPS Burn No. 6

The S/C is powered up and the IMU orientation is determined during thefourth night pass of the daM. State vector, target load and maneuver

pad for the sixth SPS burn are sent to the CSM over the Vanguard at119:40 GET. The preferred LMU orientation is calculated onboard, and the

IMU is realigned during the next night pass. Ignition for SPS Burn No. 6is at 122.01 GET over Carnarvon. Burn time is 2.5 seconds and AV is

66.2 fps. Two-Jet, 18-second ullage is used. The burn is retrograde and ......lowers perigee to 95 nm.

S065 Photography

During the night pass following the SPS burn, the s065 camera equipmentis unstowed and mounted in the hatchwindow. This equipment consists

of four electric Hassleblad cameras which are mounted together and are

triggered simultaneously. Service Module RCS Jet B-3 must be disabled to

preclude the spraying of exhaust gas into the camera's field of view during

a pass. The spacecraft is then maneuvered in-plane with the hatch

window parallel to local horizontal and orbital rate is established. During

each pass the cameras are triggered at a fixed time interval updated-byMCC. Two S065 passes are made during the sixth day. The first pass occurs

at the end of Rev 78 over the southwestern U.S., and the second is during "

the Rev 79 over Mexico. Following these passes the equipment is removed

from the--window and re-stowed. RCS Jet B-3 in re-enabled.

Commander (CDR) Left McDivitt Conrad

Command Module Pilot (CMP) Center Scott Cordon

Lunar Module Pilot (LMP) Right Schweikart Bean

2. The mission is broken down into II activity days. Each

day is one crew activity period and one rest period. Since crew

activity periods vary in length according to mission phase, so do

activity days. For this reason the activity days are not established

on a 24-hour basis. All three crew members will sleep simultaneously.'The CDR and CMP will sleep in the couches. Both the CDR and CMP

will wear their COMM headsets and remain on alert duty.

3. The CMP will doff his helmet and gloves at approximately00:15 GET. The CDR and LMP have the option to do so after the CRO

orbital GO. All crewmen will doff theirhelmets and gloves after

transposition, docking, and ejection.

4....The crew has the option to doff the pressure suits at the

end of the first day's activity. If doffed, they will be donnedfor activities in the LM.

5. The crew will eat together when possible. One hour will

be allocated for each eat period when possible. Other activities

will be held to a minimum during the eat periods.

6. Two night passes are scheduled for IMU orientation

determination, IMll realignment, and systems preparation prior toactivities requiring the CNCS or PGNCS. If the IMU orientation

is known but unacceptable, one full night pass is scheduled forrealignment.

7. CSM spacecraft maneuver rates, unless required to support

mission objectives or time critical events, will generally notexceed 0.5 deg/sec.

8. LM spacecraft maneuver rates, unless required to support

mission objectives or time critical events, will generally notexceed 2.0 deg/sec.

SECTION 4

DETAII,F.DTEST OBJECTIV]",ACTIVITIES

This section contains the activity summary sheets into which all

the Detmiled Test Objectives for Mission D have been Incorporated. Revision

i, Change A of the Mission Requirements Document, D-Type Mission, I.MEva]uatlon and Combined Operations is included. The activity s_nmary sheets

, are presented in the same sequence as they wl]l occur in the normal mission.Those mission activities _lich are repested in the tlme-llne _rc presentc_d

th_ first time they will occur only. 1)TO tasks nnd data requirements which

are presently not scheduled in the flight plan are identified as "not

implemented."

Each activity summary sheet contains the following data:

A. DTO Reference - identifies the detailed test objective(s)

(all or part) that are included in the given activity.B. Test Details - presents the special steps (other than standard

procedures) which are required for performing the DTO.

Constraints for performing the Activity are listed. °C. Procedural Reference - identifies existing documents which

contain procedures for performing the DTO.

D. Data Requirements - lists the real time telemetry, develop-

mental flight instrumentation and photography required toevaluate the DTO(s).

E. Crew Logging/Recording Requirements - identifies the test

information to be supplied by the crewman either written orvoice recorded/transmitted. This information is used to

evaluate the DTO's.

A cross reference is shown on pages 4-2 through 4-12 and lists the

DTO's in numerical order and by title. This index relates the followingadditional information.

o A subcategory breakdown of each DTO as was used in developing

the Flight Plan.o Association of the subcategory DTO to the activity that im-

plements it.o Identification of the activity summary sheet page number where

the activity test data can be found.

The following ground rules will be used in implementing data requirements:

i. The collection ,of highly desirable (HD) data will not be allowedto constrain the timeline or crew procedures. It will be collected

when doing so does not_significantly constrain the timeline or

crew procedures.

2. CSM data storage equipment (DSE) HBR recording will be done only

when MSFN coverage is not available and when mandatory data isrequired.

3. Data collected by the crew that is required only for postfllght

analysis, will not be voiced to MSFN in real time.

' 2. Maneuver to attitude supplied by MSFN:

_ae spacecraft will be oriented _,_an inertial attitucle with

the LM nearest the _arth and the X-axls making an angle of 30°with the line of sight to the sun with tileCSM tilted toward

the sun. The spacecraft should then be rolled clockwise 40°

(as viewed from inside the command module) away from the heads

down attitude about the X-axis. This will give a 40* angle

between the optics line of sight and the plane determined by

the spacecraft X-axis and the line of sight to the sun. The

optics shaft angle should be 180 and the trunnion angle should

be 12" (i.e., away from the LM). This position will pro-vide maximum shading of the LM S-band antennan and thus minimize

reflected light from the antenna.

SECTION 5

COMMb_qlCATIONS PLAN

A plan for communications modes of operations during Mission D is described inthis section° These modes are defined for each of the following phases of mission

activities; Launch, Insertion to LM Activation, LM Activation and Cq_eckout, Extra-

vehicular Activity, Rendezvous, LM Jettison, and Post LM Jettison. Variations

' to this plan are required for satisfaction of Detailed Test Objectives and are .Je-

scribed along with other DTO's, in order of implementation, in Section 4 of thisdocument.

Lunar Module Developmenual Flight Instrumentation (DFI) is available only on LM. 3,and is used for C-Band ranging, transmitting zeal time data from the PCMTEA, and

transmitting data from special %nstrumentatior,, A DFI duty cycle is presented on

,,pages 5-7 through 5-12.

A table listing MSFN station capabilities is presented on page 5-13.

Throughout the mission the CSM telecommunications system will be configured for op- ..timum ground control via RTC. The DSE will record continuously at low speed (for

LBR) unless HBR is selected by the crew, or ground RTCs a data dump. During all

but the EVA and Rendezvous portions• of combined LM/CSM operations, the LM will

transmit LBR PCM data via VHF B to the CSM for DSE recording except when LM HBP.

PCM is required by MSFN.

The RTC by MSFN for a typical station pass would include:

a. If there is a DSE data dump: ,.

LM DFI SCHEDULE

The developmental Flight Instrumentation (DFI) is'co_po,+e_ of tilreemain

compone_ts :

i) C-Band for tracking.

2) DFI VHF B transmitter for real time PCM data,

3) DFI VHF A, D, E and F transmitters for developmental :iig_t data

with no real time monitoring.

The procedure for obtaining the data through DFI VHF A m D, E a_ F trans--

mitters requires that the C-Band and DFI VHF B transmitter _i,_' ,e on.++

C-Band can be on separately as can DFI VHF B.

Table I shows the timeline for each DFI component. Certain MSFN st.z+.'_r:__

(single and modified single) a=e not equipped to receive real time S-_a+td

telemetry from both vehicles concurrently. LM DFI VHF B is used in l,-._uof

S-Band so that data from both vehicles may be obtained and over all st___i.,_s

with DFI VHF B capability during the Rendezvous period.

A CSM DSE "Record" Schedule is included to indicate DSE record_n__+,f LM LBP
