Welcome aboard Apollo 8!
MISSION SUMMARY
One of the most groundbreaking missions in the Apollo program was undoubtedly Apollo 8. Not only was this the first manned mission to ever leave Earth orbit, but it
marked the first time in history that humans would enter the gravitational influence of another celestial body. Apollo 8 had also set several records which were never
attained previously, such as human relative speed and altitude. The objectives of this mission were met with great success, and Apollo 8 (although shadowed in some
respects by Apollo 11) is still regarded by many today as one of the more important events in human history.
WHAT YOU WILL PERFORM
Assuming the role of Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders, you will begin the mission riding one of the most powerful vehicles designed by man, the Saturn V
rocket, into Earth orbit. You will then compute and initiate a maneuver which will set you on a trajectory towards the moon, called the Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI) burn.
After TLI, you will separate the CSM from the SIVB booster stage and perform other housekeeping tasks. Eleven hours into the mission, you will perform a SPS burn to
modify your trajectory towards the Moon, referred to as a Midcourse Correction, or MCC. Also, during much of the Trans-Lunar Coast (TLC), you will perform star
sighting for state vector verification and PTC (Passive Thermal Control) maneuvers, or "Barbecue Roll," to evenly heat the skin of the CSM as it comes into contact
with sunlight. On the third day of the mission, you will begin preparations to enter the Moon's sphere of influence by performing another MCC. Once you reach the time
of perilune (the point which you are closest to the lunar surface), you will perform a long SPS burn to establish orbit around the Moon, called Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI).
At the time of the next perilune, you will perform yet another burn to establish a nearly circular 60nm (121.3km) orbit around the Moon, called LOC, or Lunar Orbit
Circularization. Much of the lunar orbital period on the fourth day of the mission will be devoted to landmark and future landing point sighting and photography, then
calculating and performing the Trans-Earth Injection (TEI) maneuver, a long burn which will set you on a trajectory adequate for splashdown. Later, you will perform a
final MCC which will fine tune your re-entry angle and coordinates for splashdown. You will perform additional star sighting and PTC maneuvers, until the time of entry
preparation, where you will separate the Command Module from the Service Module and re-enter Earth's atmosphere.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
If this is your first time flying a Project Apollo scenario, it is recommended that you complete Apollo 7 prior to attempting Apollo 8. The following are some of the new
features you will likely become proficient with over the previous scenario:
* Using IMFD to calculate high-precision trajectories and integrate its values (using Project Apollo MFD) into the vAGC for performing maneuvers.* Passive Thermal Control (PTC)
* The High Gain Antenna (once implemented)
* Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI)
* Midcourse Corrections (MCC's)
* Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI)
* Lunar Orbit Circularization (LOC)
* Trans-Earth Injection (TEI)
* Monitoring your trajectory, GET of periapsis/perilune (PeA, PeT), and re-entry angle (ReA) in the IMFD Map program.
This mission is different from Apollo 7 in many respects, most notably that only a small portion of Apollo 8 takes place in Earth orbit. You will come to rely on MFD's
more on Apollo 8 than on the previous mission, due to the intricacy and accuracy of the maneuvers that must be performed. In Apollo 8, the most acute changes in
velocity could greatly impact conditions later on. For example, during Trans-Lunar Coast, while closer to Earth than the Moon, a small change in your velocity will have
a much larger impact on your perilune altitude and time once you reach the moon. In contrast, when you are closer to the Moon, the same change in velocity would have
a smaller impact. This is where the IMFD Map program will become invaluable to monitoring your trajectory during coasting periods. Its use is included in the procedures,
as well as a few reminders to monitor your trajectory when necessary for future events.
Good luck, and godspeed on Apollo 8!
INITIAL CONFIGURATION
- Ensure you have downloaded the latest Project Apollo beta modules or have built the modules yourself with no errors
- Ensure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of Interplanetary MFD (IMFD) from Jarmo Nikkanen at http://koti.mbnet.fi/jarmonik/Orbiter.html
- Start Orbiter
- On the Orbiter Launchpad, click the "Parameters" tab
- Ensure the Complex Flight Model, Limited Fuel, and Nonspherical Gravity Sources boxes are checked
- On the "Modules" tab, ensure that InterplanetaryMFD, OrbiterSound, ProjectApolloMFD, and ScnEditor modules are active
- Open your Apollo 8 vAGC Launch scenario under the scenario tab
- Press F4 to open the simulator menu
- Click the "Camera" button, then click "FOV"
- Use the slider or type "45" in the box to change the field of view to 45 degrees
- Close the simulator menu windows and proceed with the flightplan
