Part 2 is currently in revision but is taking longer than expected. Here is a preview of the Apollo 11 landing in 1969 with extended scenes that I will be using. The video is about 8 minutes long but only includes the last 4 minutes of landing in real time from Neil Armstrong's window. I replay a shorter version of that scene from the outside front of the Lunar Module. I rewind the shot again for a view underneath and behind. One more rewind and you get a shot from the top of the Lunar Module. When I am done editing this piece of the video for the revised Part 2, this shot will be a mix of all of those shots but only 4 minutes long. So half of this video won't make the final cut.
What is new from the old Part 2:
1. Many viewers did not like that my original video looked like it was landing amongst the hills. The Sea of Tranquility is really flat. I heard you...and this time I got hold of real LRO reconnaissance photos of the Apollo 11 landing site. So the outside views are real imagery. But I had to take a flat image and do some trickery to make it look like it had some depth. I am not an expert at doing this...I think there are others who could make it look a lot better. I think I got it convincing enough for my included scenes but I am going to have some issues when I roll the view for the next outside shots. I will probably have to move from real imagery to something else (the real imagery is 25 meters per pixel....not good resolution at all up close).
2. Added RCS jets firing. Made my best guess at RCS firing. During descent, the computer (and/or manual commands via the hand controllers to the computer) does pitch and roll as a mixture of RCS burst and engine nozzle gimbaling. Yaw is only done with the RCS (you would need at least 2 descent engines to do Yaw).
3. Put the Earth and Sun at the proper positions.
4. Made the CDR's window and rendezvous windows with double panes along with the etched glass. The original video only had the single pane etching. Neil Armstrong would have aligned his head so that when he looked out the front window he would only see one set of etchings (superimposed over each other). You will hear Aldrin reading off LPD (Landing Point Designator) numbers in degrees. If Neil looks through the glass at those number of degrees etched in the glass, that is telling him where the computer thinks the lunar module is going to land. Neil can manually make adjustments and make a new designation through the computer.
5. Fixed the pitch on the attitude indicator. Realized that I had inadvertently animated pitch backwards. It is now correct.
6. Added some exhaust and engine glow on the descent engine. It is not clear to me that you would even see the exhaust so I tried to make it fairly light...but in the end may still be too strong.
7. This time I actually put in the actual landing flight profile of Apollo 11. I had previously used Apollo 12 since the data was more readily available and much easier to use. Apollo 11 was difficult to decipher. The LRO reconstruction video helped fill in the blanks.
Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969 with Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin while Mike Collins remained inside the Command Service Module Columbia orbiting the Moon. The lunar module was on the surface of the Moon for 21 hours and 36 minutes. Their walk on the Moon was 2 hours and 31 minutes. They brought home almost 48 lbs of rocks.
The Lunar Module (LM) has a descent stage with the landing gear and its own gimbaled descent engine that they left on the Moon. Neil and Buzz returned to Lunar Orbit in the ascent stage that has its own non-gimbaled engine. For ascent they wanted the simplest engine possible (no gimbaling (attitude controlled by RCS), and no turbo pumps (hypergolic fuel only).
Apollo 11 launch from Kennedy Space Center on July 16 and returned to Earth on July 24.
Saturn V stack weighed over 96,000 lbs at launch with a return weight just shy of 11,000 lbs.
When Gene Krantz is on your side you can,t go wrong
Awesome!
Part of the video shows what astronauts must have seen from inside the module.
From a perspective never seen before.
And with lots of AMAZING details.
I wonder, why hasn't anyone done this before?
Congratulations !
Thanks. Stay tuned as I incorporate part of the preview into my updated Part 2
Since there is no air in outer space to transmit acoustic vibrations, the noise heard in this video should not be heard. Or is it that the vibrating of the walls of the capsule causes the air inside it to vibrate and produces a noise that astronauts hear?
I used artistic choice to leave the sound in. I know that they could hear the RCS thrusters firing and that they could hear some of the rocket noise/vibration. But it would probably not amount to much. I did run across a comment from Buzz Aldrin during lunar launch that he was amazed at how quite the ascent engine was when the ascent engine was basically inside the spacecraft with them.
@@opieswenson Thanks for your prompt response. I find this topic exciting.
👍🇺🇲
Thanks!
If real their should go and back so many times from there or only some way at Hollywood studios
Now try that in English
The detail in the lim is fantastic, I found the steering wheel but couldn't make out the wipers or indicator switches.
Great video👍
Thanks much for your comment. So stay tuned, currently making a series of short films giving a panel by panel tour of the CM and LM. The first short video will be panel 1 which is the left third of the CM main panel. If the Panel 1 video has any kind of popularity, I’ll keep making them. In the panel tours, you will definitely be able to read every switch (unless trying to watch on your phone). Also, if you have not seen part1 or part 3, please see those. Part 1 is the most popular of the 3 part series by far.
