How Apollo Flew to the Moon

W. David Woods, Praxis 2011, second edition ISBN 978-1-4419-7178-4, Central 629.454 w868h 2011


A useful reference, which I cannot afford to add to my groaning library. Borrowed January 2017


Notes:

  • p118 ARIA: Apollo Range Instrumentation Aircraft, EC-135 (like Boeing 707) that relayed voice and recording telemetry.
  • p127 PAD: pre-advisory data, spoken numbers uplinked to astronauts to a small form, used for navigation and manual operation in the event of automatic equipment failure
  • p130 passing through van Allen belt at "10 km/s": minutes through the inner belt protons, 1.5 hours through the outer belt electrons. In lunar orbital plane, not through the densest equatorial portions of the belts.
  • p133 EMS Entry Monitor System

  • p134 TD&E Transposition, docking, and extraction of LM

  • p136 SLA (spacecraft LM adapter) panel, 4 panels per mission, as many as 36 in heliocentric orbit. 6.6 meter diameter S-IVB (third) stage to 3.9 meter diameter service module.
