Apollo 10 - Full Mission Part 16
Apollo 10 mission (May 18th - 26th 1969).
Onboard are astronauts Tom Stafford (CDR) John Young (CMP) and Gene Cernan (LMP).
Apollo 10 was a full dress rehearsal for the Apollo 11 mission.
This video is the 16th of a series to cover the entire air-ground communications and video shown during the flight.
Part 15 covers the LOI2 burn performed at the end of lunar orbit 1, theTV transmission on lunar orbit 2 and the checkout of Snoopy - audio is very broken for this sequence through lunar orbit 4.
Orbiter Space Simulator is used for all the video sequencing on this video. Inclinations and position to the actual flight are guesstimated. GET is used as accurately as possible but should only be used as a guide. Thruster firings and burns are shown for effect. I do not claim to know how to fly the CSM! Ask John Young about it!
Audio is in "stereo" from the WAV files available from the NASA audio archive.
The watcher might also like to download the Apollo 10 mission transcript to follow the transmissions.
All audio, photos and video is courtesy NASA.
