Objectives:• Put a manned spacecraft in orbit• Test man’s ability to function in
space• Recover both pilot and capsule
safely
1 Astronaut• MR-3, MR-4 launched on Redstone
rockets• MA-6 — MA-9 launched on Atlas rockets• reentry: direct insertion, water landing• recovery: ablative shield, parachutes,
airbags

GEMINI(1965—1966)
Objectives:• Place 2 men in space for up to 2 weeks• Rendezvous and dock with another vehicle
and maneuver both spacecraft using the target vehicle’s propulsion
• Perform and practice Extra-Vehicular Activities
(EVA), or space-"walks”• Perfect reentry and landing at a pre-selected
location (originally on land)
2 Astronauts• GLV-3 — GLV-12 all flew on Titan II rocket• reentry: direct insertion, water landing• recovery: ablative shield, parachutes,
near-horizontal (sideways) splashdown

APOLLO(1968—1972)
3 Astronauts• Apollo 7 launched on Saturn I-B• Apollo 8-17 launched on Saturn V• reentry: direct insertion, water landing• recovery: ablative shield, parachutes, thrusters,
crushable ribs (“crumple zones”)
Objectives:• Land a man on the moon and return him
safely to Earth before 1970• Establish the technology to meet other
national interests in space• Achieve American preeminence in
space• Carry out a program of scientific
exploration of the Moon• Develop man's capability to work in the
lunar environment.

Payload Protection Payload = anything in the spacecraft
Astronauts Food Medical equipment Science Experiments Electronics
Weight of Payload limited by thrust of rocket Means of protection:
Reducing spacecraft speed/impact Parachutes Retro-rockets (reverse thrust) Air brakes (creating maximum drag)
Restraint Cushioning
Trapped air (airbags) Expendable cushioning material (crumple zones)
