00:00:23,499 --> 00:00:21,039 and life support systems 5 00:00:25,390 --> 00:00:23,509 the service module will contain 6 00:00:27,819 --> 00:00:25,400 propulsion systems for mid-course 7 00:00:30,729 --> 00:00:27,829 maneuvers as well as for entering and 8 00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:30,739 escaping the lunar orbit the lunar 9 00:00:34,869 --> 00:00:33,110 excursion module will carry two crew 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:34,879 members to the surface of the Moon 11 00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:36,730 along with scientific instruments 12 00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:40,160 communications and guidance systems it 13 00:00:45,130 --> 00:00:42,260 also will have a propulsion capability 14 00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:45,140 for lunar landing and for return to the 15 00:00:50,830 --> 00:00:48,920 orbiting command and service modules the 16 00:00:53,939 --> 00:00:50,840 Apollo spacecraft and its launch escape 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:53,949 system total 75 feet in length the 18 00:01:01,450 --> 00:00:56,690 three-stage advanced Saturn booster adds 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:01,460 another 280 feet in length in project 20 00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:04,610 Apollo Saturn's first stage will provide 21 00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:06,440 seven and a half million pounds of 22 00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:09,860 thrust from 5f1 engines for liftoff and 23 00:01:15,490 --> 00:01:13,520 initial powered flight the second stage 24 00:01:18,490 --> 00:01:15,500 will develop 1 million pounds of thrust 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:18,500 from 5j to engines to boost the 26 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:20,890 spacecraft almost into Earth orbit 27 00:01:25,930 --> 00:01:23,690 immediately after ignition of the second 28 00:01:33,110 --> 00:01:25,940 stage the launch escape system will be 29 00:01:39,650 --> 00:01:37,160 a single j2 engine in the s4b stage will 30 00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:39,660 provide 200,000 pounds of thrust 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:41,790 it will place the spacecraft in an earth 32 00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:44,370 parking orbit then its engine will be 33 00:01:50,690 --> 00:01:47,640 shut down at the proper predetermined 34 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:50,700 time and position in the earth orbit the 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:53,130 s4 b will be reignited for propelling 36 00:01:58,790 --> 00:01:55,050 the spacecraft into a trans lunar 37 00:01:59,600 --> 00:01:58,800 trajectory a few minutes later staging 38 00:02:02,870 --> 00:01:59,610 will occur 39 00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:02,880 the s4 B will be separated fairings will 40 00:02:07,220 --> 00:02:04,830 be jettisoned and the lunar excursion 41 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,230 module will be repositioned to a 42 00:02:15,170 --> 00:02:09,360 nose-to-nose attitude with a command 43 00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:15,180 module a number of mid-course maneuvers 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:16,980 may be required to place the spacecraft 45 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:19,050 into position for obtaining the desired 46 00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:22,770 orbit around the moon preparatory to 47 00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:24,780 acquiring its lunar orbit the spacecraft 48 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:27,920 will be reoriented for deceleration the 49 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,480 service module propulsion system will 50 00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:32,160 slow the spacecraft to the proper 51 00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:34,020 velocity for obtaining a precise 52 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:36,840 circular orbit approximately 100 53 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:39,170 nautical miles above the lunar surface 54 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:41,970 while the spacecraft is coasting in its 55 00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:44,489 lunar orbit two members of the crew will 56 00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,440 transfer to the lunar excursion module 57 00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:48,480 through the hatch at the connection 58 00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:51,420 point between the two vehicles after 59 00:02:55,970 --> 00:02:53,910 preparations are completed the lunar 60 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:55,980 excursion module will separate from the 61 00:03:00,920 --> 00:02:58,170 command and service modules which will 62 00:03:02,660 --> 00:03:00,930 remain in lunar orbit the lunar 63 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:02,670 excursion module will be properly 64 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:05,010 oriented and its propulsion system will 65 00:03:09,260 --> 00:03:07,050 transfer the vehicle into an elliptical 66 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:09,270 orbit suitable for approaching the lunar 67 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:12,090 surface the vehicle will be reoriented 68 00:03:16,490 --> 00:03:14,850 for landing then through a carefully 69 00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:16,500 blended combination of manual control 70 00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:19,769 and automatic systems operation the 71 00:03:24,979 --> 00:03:21,660 vehicle will be lowered toward the lunar 72 00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:24,989 surface it will be able to hover and if 73 00:03:33,490 --> 00:03:27,510 necessary move laterally so that the 74 00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:36,710 before taking any other action the two 75 00:03:41,449 --> 00:03:38,550 lunar explorers will prepare for 76 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:41,459 relaunching in addition to their own 77 00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:43,530 inspection and checking they will be 78 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:45,480 instructed and guided in this activity 79 00:03:47,550 --> 00:03:45,730 by 80 00:03:50,990 --> 00:03:47,560 as a third member in the mothership and 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:51,000 by information transmitted from Earth 82 00:03:56,130 --> 00:03:53,290 photographs and samples of the lunar 83 00:03:58,199 --> 00:03:56,140 surface will be obtained apparatus for 84 00:04:00,720 --> 00:03:58,209 continued operation and transmission of 85 00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:00,730 scientific data back to earth probably 86 00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:04,030 will be left on the moon the crew will 87 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:05,950 fire the lunar launching engine had a 88 00:04:10,740 --> 00:04:08,560 precisely determined instant to enter a 89 00:04:12,930 --> 00:04:10,750 transfer ellipse calculated to 90 00:04:14,490 --> 00:04:12,940 rendezvous with a mothership after 91 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:14,500 traveling part of the way around the 92 00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:18,130 moon after proper orientation the lunar 93 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:19,840 excursion module will complete the 94 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:29,650 docking maneuver the two lunar explorers 95 00:04:34,170 --> 00:04:31,570 will transfer back into the command 96 00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,180 module their lunar excursion module 97 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:36,880 probably will be left in lunar orbit to 98 00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:40,240 save weight on the return trip after the 99 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,710 command and service modules are 100 00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:43,120 thoroughly checked out and all 101 00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:45,729 calculations are confirmed the Apollo 102 00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:47,590 spacecraft will be fired into its 103 00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:50,800 trajectory for return to Earth following 104 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:52,870 mid-course Corrections and just before 105 00:04:57,150 --> 00:04:55,210 entering the Earth's atmosphere the 106 00:04:59,610 --> 00:04:57,160 service module will be jettisoned and 107 00:05:08,800 --> 00:04:59,620 the command module will be oriented for 108 00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:11,530 at an altitude of approximately 50,000 109 00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:14,270 feet a drogue parachute will deploy to 110 00:05:18,970 --> 00:05:17,150 stabilize the vehicle this will be 111 00:05:21,190 --> 00:05:18,980 followed shortly by the main parachute 112 00:05:24,159 --> 00:05:21,200 system which will gently lower the
