- Does anyone know what happened to the telemetry from the Apollo 11
- flight? For the upcoming 25'th anniversary I've been toying with the
- idea of developing some X based clients for displaying the data in
- realtime (except with a 25 year delay). If the telemetry data still exists
- what form is it in? Where would one find detailed planning information on
- the flight such as the minute by minute mission schedule, transcripts of the
- radio transmissions, orbits and trajectories? If this information still
- exists it should be possible to replay history in realtime on a workstation.
-
- The basic idea would be to load the telemetry on to one of our local UNIX
- systems and then transmit it over the network in realtime to monitoring
- workstations which would format and display the data in some meaningful
- way.
-
- The information to be displayed would consist of the following windows:
-
- 1) spacecraft telemetry data: temperatures, pressures, voltages, etc.
-
- 2) Biomedical data display.
-
- 3) newswire: displays news reports from AP & UPI and major papers from
- around the world.
-
- 4) Orbit/Trajectory plots showing the location of the spacecraft.
-
- 5) Earth/Apollo-11 radio transmissions transcripts.
