- Apollo 11 Part 3 of 3 "Coming Home". Videos were created in the free animation software tool called Blender. All models and animations were created by me. Textures of the Earth and Moon are from NASA.

Apollo 11 Part 2: One Small Step ( • Apollo 11 Part 2: One ... )
Major scenes include:
1. Lunar launch of LM into orbit.
2. Rendezvous of Lunar Module (LM) with Command Module (CM)
3. Clean and Dry check of Command Service Module (CSM). This is where the CSM rotates around so the LM can inspect the vehicle. Note...I am not sure that Apollo 11 actually did this....but many if not all the subsequent Apollo missions did.
4. Docking behind the Moon
5. Jettison the LM. Note that the LM is now in an interesting configuration. The docking drogue has been removed since they don't need it anymore. Because of this, you have a clear shot of the top of the upper Hatch. Also as part of the jettison cycle the CM docking ring/latches remains attached to the LM. The latches are blue.
6. Trans Earth Injection (TEI) burn back home
7. Separation of CM from Service Module (SM). I actually took the time to animate the reaction control system (RCS) for this event. In most videos that I watched, you can rarely see the RCS exhaust plumes. The SM RCS fires to put distance between the CM and SM and also induces a roll. The CM fires its pitch RCS to get into the proper reentry position. During separation, a pyrotechnic guillotine severs the connection between the CM and SM and the Umbilical Assembly rotates back. This is followed by another explosive guillotine that separates the SM from the CM.
8. Reentry. The friction heat up the hull. The hull has a shiny coat which wears off during reentry. I gave it my best shot trying to animate what this may look like going from very shiny to dull and charred. The CM does several roll maneuvers to control its lift vector which can make the entry more steep or less shallow or induce some cross range.
9. Parachutes. There are 9 parachutes total. I animated them all but some you only see for a very short time. The apex cover (top of the spacecraft that shields the parachutes and mortars) is jettisoned at 24,000 ft. The apex cover has its own parachute. The 2 drogue chutes deploy 2 seconds later to slow and stabilize the CM for about 10 seconds before they are cut loose. This is followed by 3 mortars firing 3 small pilot chutes whose purpose is to drag out the very large orange and white main parachutes. No...I did not take time to animate the altimeter that is clearly in view by the forward left window. The altimeter has marks on it to note when each parachute event is triggered.
10. Splashdown. CM lands and immediate turned over upside-down (Stable 2). Not all CMs flipped over....but Apollo 11 did. This is followed by an air compressor inflating 3 floatation bags used to flip the CM to Stable 1. Turns out that the Apollo built in compressor was an off the shelf compressor. So when adding sound, I used standard compressor and hissing noises.

I remember how scared I was watching all the key parts of this flight and landing; after all these years, I never knew that a set of parachutes deployed before the iconic red and white ones. Bravo on such a superb animation.
Thanks for your comment and watching. I did not know that either until I started modeling and animating it. If you have seen my entire Apollo 11 series, check out my Apollo 15 and Skylab series.
The audio is so much cleaner than the original, we hear the whole event unfold. The audio editing is excellent, giving a natural progression of events without the long spaces of dead air.
Thanks for watching and your comment. I can't take credit for the clean audio. I grabbed it directly from NASA with no cleaning involved. But I can take credit for the editing and choosing what audio to mix with my video. I listen to a lot of audio and it takes quite a while to figure out what I want to mix. Sometimes I get it right and other times I do not. Regardless, thanks much for noticing!
It's interesting that the heating on the heat shield isn't because of the air friction. The high velocity compresses the air in front of the re-entry vehicle so much it is super-heated. It's the radiant energy from this compressed, superheated air that heats up the heat shield.
This video series is a masterpiece of detail. I feel like I am on board. Amazing.
Thankyou! More coming....Part2 in rework. It may be a month or two before I start the interior detailed tours.
How can you do that ?
These are videos that demonstrate the story.
Incredible, the details of the ship and scenery are breathtaking.
One of the best I've ever seen.
Congratulations.
Thanks much for your kind comments.
Much appreciated, these visuelatzations really teach, thank you!
Thanks!!
💖👍
I appreciate all the work.
Will say, I turned 14 in early July '69, as an American, watching Apollo was Magical.
Seeing some of the documentaries over the years it's unimaginable work that was performed.
Thanks!
This Apollo 11 series was absolutely awesome! I loved the three episodes. Congratulations on a well constructed series of animations Andrew. You have great skills my friend. I'd love to see something similar for Apollo XIII. Subed, and looking forward to more like this! Cheers.
Thanks for watching all 3! Part 2 under revision….and I will probably do one more round of revisions based on viewer comments before I call the 3 part series complete. Next is to make a detailed interior spacecraft tour that actually explains what you are looking at. I wanted to do a Skylab, but can’t find good enough detailed drawings and pictures.
That is the absolute best visualization of re-entry that I've ever seen done. Even "Apollo 13" didn't get it right. They did it with fire more or less. You got it right! Your's looks more like the kind of plasma that would have been generated during the ionization period. You more or less even got the colors of the plasma right. It was breathtaking watching as the CM entered the Exosphere, and the color gradually changed to light blue. I mean I actually think I lost my breath for a second! I'm Awestruck! I can't wait for your next project. Please tell us you have another project on the horizon. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your comment. Please subscribe if you haven’t. Also notice that during the reentry I gradually char the CM. I assume 6pm have also seen Part 1 and 2. Part 1 was revised ( you can still see the old Part 1) mostly in response to viewer comments. Part 2 is currently under revision. I may still do some further revisions due to additional comments. But when complete ther was interest by some for me to do a detailed tour of the instrument panels and what they do.
I left a comment for part 1 as well. Please read it. You have no idea how you helped me out with that video. That video was breathtaking as well!
Great GCI + mission control radio voice over.
Thanks for watching and for your comment
Live, recorded, or animation over and over again. I just love it. Especially as I watched some of the later missions live on tv.
Wow! What a ride I just took! This is absolutely amazing! I watched it on my large desktop screen, a 55'' LCD TV, with my huge amp and loudspeakers blasting those thunderous roaring sounds... what a show! I felt nervous, like I was part of that mission! Positive stuff like this is the reason that keeps me from leaving youtube! I quickly subscribed without hesitation! This must have taken a s**t load of hard work to do these animations! Then, I checked what kind of creds someone could have to be able to pull it off like this... I laughed so much, as I rapidly found out the answer! To say that you have the abilities, experience, qualification, competence or whatever that makes you suitable to do these animations is a huge understatement! This is next level! Keep up the good work! 👍
Wow…thanks for the very positive comment. Much appreciated. Been working the past year on updating my Apollo models with more detail. And have added the crawler and VAB. Stay tuned for more videos. If you have not seen my Skylab or Apollo 15 series, please check it out.
The best reconstruction I saw.
Thanks! And more coming.
I really dig the instrument panel diagram on the LEM @ 4:12 before they depart from Eagle. I really do like that detail you so meticulously showed in this animation. My God, this is amazing.
Thanks for your comments. At that time stamp, that is the back wall of the CM not the LM…you probably just typed it wrong. What you are looking at is the sextant. The large decal is a map of the storage lockers and generally what is in them.
Awesome!!
@@AdRenteria thanks!
It was a miracle that nothing was wrong!
I never get tired of seeing it.
Simply amazing.
The video shown also makes it possible for lay people to understand.
For me it is one of the best ways to communicate with everyone.
Once again congratulations!!!
Thanks for watching! New Skylab. Idea coming out on Tuesday. Pad abort coming up after that
@@opieswenson Excelent
Wow. I didn't realise that the capsule could right itself. Impressive job done here. I,m keen to see more. Regards from Ireland
Thanks for your comment. Please see part 1 and 2 if you have not. Hit the subscribe button to be notified of new content. Part 1 is in rework…fixing many if not all the things that need fixing. Most of the fixes were centered around me not knowing how to properly model it. My skills have improved over the duration of this project…so now I am tackling them. I am also thinking about giving a detailed tour of the inside of each cockpit for those that are interested in what each of the panels actually do.
@@opieswenson Yes. I,d like to see what each panel does. Great project.
Really incredible job with these three segments. The interiors are astonishing, and give a real sense of being inside both vehicles. Well done and thank you!
Thanks for watching all 3! If you liked those, please take a look at my Skylab and Apollo 15 videos and let me know what you think.
Wow, impressive detail. Loved the series, thx for sharing.
Thanks! There are more videos coming.
Great animation, I was just a boy when this happened having to use my imagination so much. Thank you so much
Thanks!
Отличный фильм , отличная детализация, можно посмотреть поэтапно всю экспедицию неспешно
Большое спасибо за ваш комментарий. Очень признателен
Stunning representation! Love how you synced with MCC
I don't know if anyone has already mentioned it, the command module hit the ocean at an angle, basically from the astronaut's reference, feet first. That "corner" of the bottom of the capsule was crushable, to soften the impact when it hit the water at 20MPH. Like how your car's front end collapses in a head on collision to keep the passenger compartment intact to prevent major injury to the passengers.
Thanks for watching and thanks for you comment! I think the primary purpose was to have a CG that was off center so the computer (or pilot in an emergency) could control the roll during reentry which would roll around the lift vector to either give them cross range ability or to adjust the angle of reentry. I think what you are talking about is a side benefit for that. I was not aware that one corner was more crushable than the rest.
Excellent visualisation
Thanks for watching!
Excellent! Congrats!
Thank you so much 😀
Very cool video.
Thanks! Did you happen to see part 1 and 2? New video coming out soon.
Fantastic! Good job.
Thanks! Please see part 1 and 2 if you have not. Also in the process of adding a new video with a much more detailed interior CM and LM. The new video gets close enough to every instrument panel so that you can read it.
Incredible details!
thanks!!!
MARAVILLOSO , IMPRESIONANTE
Thanks!!
Thanks for this one Drew. This is remarkable. Amazing work you’ve done here. The documentary brings it alive so much more. Bearing in mind what happened with Apollo 13, it hard to believe that nothing went wrong on Apollo 11 or 12. Everything went so smoothly. It’s a real testament to NASA’s ingenuity and technological noux. Wonder where the Eagle landed the second time. I’d be interested to know. Wonder if they will ever go back to its crash site, or come to that any of the crash sites from the Apollo series, perhaps even to clear up the mess left behind. Thanks once again. I’ve subscribed! Take care.
Thanks for your comments and subscribing!! I think all but one of the intentional Apollo ascent stage crash sites are known). Apollo 11 was not intentionally crashed into the moon, but it was believed that the low lunar orbit was unstable and that it would eventually crash. There is some evidence that it is still in orbit.
@@opieswenson That’s amazing. If Eagle is still in orbit, it would be good to capture it and bring it back to Earth. It would be as precious as the landing capsule. To think that it may have been orbiting the moon since ‘69 it pretty amazing, probably still in the same condition as I doubt if anything up there would cause it to deteriorate in any way. Looking forward to your next vid. Keep em coming and take care of yourself in this mad crazy world we live in!
@@peterclarke3990 Here is an article talking about Eagle. They mention that it may be in pretty rough shape.
@@opieswenson Hi Drew. Did you attach something to this reply cos if you did I can’t see it. Signpost me to the TH-cam clip if not. Thanks

非常精彩的动画
Thanks!
Assisti as 3 partes, seu trabalho foi fantástico, congratulações do Brasil!
Thanks for watching all 3 parts!! Part 2 is in revision…so stay tuned.
Enjoyed watching , very good animation! I watch the original mission in July 1969!
Thankyou!
Fantastic production. Much appreciated!
Thanks!
Eu tinha 14 anos de idade quando tudo isto aconteceu e eu vi pela televisão, ao vivo, até a madrugada, aqui no Brasil. Agradeço pelo seu excelente trabalho que me permitiu rever tudo novamente, com muito mais detalhes, como se eu fosse um dos astronautas. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho!
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário. Eu tinha 5 anos quando aconteceu
ESPECTACULAR
Thanks for watching!!
Very nicely done!
Thanks!
8:00 Gear is down and locked! 😂😂
Buzz had a lot of funny one liners. Including when they took off from the moon "We are number one on the runway."
Thank you so much for your awesome work!
Thanks much!
Watched the landing live on a small TV in an empty school in. small village on the Baltic coast of Poland. The Polish government was none too pleased because the Soviet allies had been skunked. My friends and I were all thrilled.
Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating, thx a lot!
Thanks!
Damned good! Horrible work it would have been, but explains all beautifully. Thank you!
Not sure I understand the horrible work comment…but I’ll take that as a compliment?
@@opieswenson You're right. I meant horrible amount of work with a wonderful gift for us.
@@gregor_man I was pretty sure that was where you were going!
Aperfeiçoamento da fantasia.
Thanks…but The fantasy also includes the Apollo 11 descent stage still on the moon…along with 5 others and multiple laser reflectors that you can still use.
@@opieswenson
And the multiple AESEP installations
great
Thanks!
Fantastic!
Thanks! Stay tuned...revised Part 2 coming.
@@opieswenson Nice one, they were three amazing videos. Thank you.
@@rogerhargreaves2272 Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
STANLEY KUBRICK: HOLD MY BEER.
I often wondered how they calculate the angle when they reentry earth’s atmosphere 🤔
Not sure of the math they are using for entry. But see this page that describes the Entry Monitoring System which the Apollo astronauts used during reentry. For the most part it was automatically done but the EMS gave them the ability to monitor that all was ok. And if not, they could manually take control to roll the spacecraft to change the lift vector which would shape the trajectory. nassp.space/index.php/Entry_Monitoring_System
Читал ,что кабина корабля по простору напоминала кабину летчиков на Б - 747. А советских Союзах было тесно ,как в собачьей будке.
These rockets were incredibly high tech
Yes they were!

Did you put Mt. Hadley in the background? 🤔
... and I thought reentry was in feet-up orientation most of the time 🤔.
Otherwise, an excellent animation. Much appreciated. 👍
I did not try to align actual orbits with the earth or moon. I believe that it was feet up most of the time. The CDR and or the computer controlled the roll angle to shape the cross range and descent angle with the lift vector. I don’t show the whole decent in my video…but I do try to illustrate the roll during reentry. With that said, I will most likely open up part 3 for editing. One thing I have been doing in my edits is putting in the proper sun angle ( all messed up in my original videos) and putting in RCS bursts. The interesting thing about RCS bursts….you rarely see them fire in real life. So I am taking artistic license to show that the RCS is actually firing
@@opieswenson Thanks for your fast reply. Still I think Mt. Hadley does not belong in Eagle's background, though.
Of course I've noticed that the maneuvers for establishing the coelliptic and constant differential height are missing, but I do not recall which of them occurred on the far side.
I like the terminal phase with the CSM ballet and the final LM alignment. Also the views of the CM cockpit.
@@MrRolotube Thanks much for your comments. Yes...Hadley probably did not belong on the path. Like I said, I made no attempt to properly align the orbital path over the moon. I do show the launch including the pitch over . That timing and amount of pitch are correct. I do not show the full amount of ascent engine burn and I do skip over the coelliptic and CDH maneuvers. The rendezvous terminal phase as seen from the CM was eyeballed from looking at the actual video. The clean and dry check of the CSM as seen from the LM probably did not happen on Apollo 11 (at least no footage I can find) but it did happen on other Apollo missions.

Why is there another moon?
That is the earth, same thing you see at time 1:06. With that said, the Apollo 11 series is from my earliest Blender work as I was learning the software. The earths position in this video was not correct. A11 also did not land amongst the hills, but in my early Blender experience, that was what I used to hide that I could not use a full size moon. My A11 part 2 was made after the video you watched and I placed the earth more correctly and used a different technique for the terrain where the LM landed. In part 2, I modified a picture of the landing site to make it look like terrain. Thanks for watching and your question.

@@СергейФилиппов-ч1й I am sorry you did not like it. Because these are the types of animation that I do, I would recommend not to follow me on TH-cam. Good luck finding material that you enjoy.

Fake...
Was it the word "Animation" in the intro screen that gave it away, or did it take you until the end of the video to figure it out?
@enson He doesn't know he's too burned out from the drugs.... It must suck being him...
Why did you put sound on the LM liftoff? No sound in the vacuum in space or on the moon.
Yes…I am aware…chalk it up to artistic choice.. or perceived sound coming from inside the cabin
excellent series...your efforts are much appreciated
