- 38390
- Tutorial # 1-3 covers the plane change maneuvers
- 38395
- ..through Descent Orbit Insertion (DOI)
- 38400
- ..and ends before Powered Descent Initiation (PDI).
- 38420
- The first plane change maneuver takes place as the LM passes
- 38425
- ..directly south of the landing site
- 38430
- ..and uses the RCS DOWN thruster to cancel the northward velocity.
- 38440
- The first plane change burn begins.
- 38450
- The LM was moving north at about 0.8 m/s.
- 38460
- At an acceleration of 0.011 m/s², a 0.8 m/s change takes about 75 s.
- 38520
- The first plane change maneuver is complete.
- 38540
- The LM is in the correct attitude for the second plane change burn
- 38545
- ..with the Up body axis facing south
- 38550
- ..since the landing site is in the northern hemisphere.
- 38560
- Therefore, no attitude changes are required at this time.
- 38570
- The second plane change occurs when the LM is 87° west of the landing site.
- 39905
- The LM is rolled to the proper attitude for the second plane change
- 39910
- ..with the Face body axis up.
- 40085
- Roll program complete.
- 40130
- The LM is yawed to the proper attitude
- 40135
- ..with the Up body axis tilted 1° to the east.
- 40175
- The second plane change uses the Descent Engine at 10% (minimum) throttle
- 40180
- ..and requires a velocity change of about 18.5 m/s.
- 40190
- At an acceleration of 0.29 m/s², the burn takes about 65 s.
- 40200
- The second plane change burn begins by IGNITING the Descent Engine.
- 40210
- *** LOOK AT THE LM-CONSUMABLES DISPLAY ***
- 40220
- The Descent Engine flag is on and the throttle is 10%.
- 40230
- *** LOOK AT THE INS ORBIT DISPLAY ***
- 40235
- Watch the north component of the angular momentum angle.
- 40245
- The burn is complete when the north component is (90 - 2·0.675)° = 88.65°.
- 40280
- The second plane change maneuver is complete.
- 40315
- The velocity change was 19.1 m/s and the burn time was 65 s.
- 40325
- The LM is put into the proper orientation for DOI.
- 40335
- The RCS YAW control is used to point the LM Left body axis due south.
- 40345
- Yaw program start.
- 40445
- Yaw program complete.
- 40455
- The RCS PITCH control is used to point the LM Face body axis so that
- 40460
- ..it points straight up during the DOI burn at 165° west of the landing site.
- 40465
- Pitch program start.
- 40550
- Pitch program complete.
- 40560
- The DOI burn begins when the LM is 165° west of the landing site.
- 41695
- The DOI burn reduces the perilune to approximately 20 km
- 41700
- ..at 15° east of the landing site near the beginning of PDI.
- 41715
- The DOI burn requires a change in velocity of about 18.5 m/s
- 41720
- ..and takes about 50 s at 10% throttle.
- 41730
- The DOI burn begins by IGNITING the Descent Engine.
- 41740
- Watch the perilune display ... The burn stops when it nears 20 km.
- 41805
- The main DOI burn is complete.
- 41815
- The RCS UP thruster is used to adjust the perilune to 20 km.
- 41835
- The Descent Orbit is 19.7 km by 99.5 km.
- 41845
- *** LOOK AT THE LM-CONSUMABLES DISPLAY ***
- 41855
- The RCS propellant is 97% and the Descent Stage propellant is 98%.
- 41890
- The LM is put into the proper orientation for the PDI burn
- 41895
- ..at 18° east of the landing site.
- 41905
- Pitch program start.
- 42095
- Pitch program complete.
- 42110
- This concludes TUTORIAL # 1-3 ... The mission continues with TUTORIAL # 1-4.
