Great work Danoz, I've wanted a 'simple' full Apollo mission animation for ages of how all the stages worked ever since seeing the movie 'Apollo 13' - The Moon landings having ALWAYS fascinated me since I was 10 years old (living in England the time of the Apollo 11/Eagle landing) which in due cause made me want to to because a pilot (which I did, but only to civilian commercial level of 2300 hours, but had to quit due to health issues) and wanted to be an Astronaut, but alas, never reached that dream. Thank GOD at least ONE Australian has done so - so far!!

[@SophieTheBagel1984]

Thanks so much for this. I am a huge Apollo fan and I was trying to visualize the staging via the movie "Apollo 13", but this makes it crystal clear. Amazing animation.

[@MegaFPVFlyer]

+SophieTheBagel1984 If you want an even better visualization I'd recommend Orbiter 2010 and AMSO. (Both are free) Bascially it's a pretty accurate simulation of the Apollo spacecraft. (Including launch, TLI, course corrections, arrival, landing, rendezvous, return, and re-entry) I will warn you that it's a very steep learning curve, but AMSO has many pre-made scenarios that run on autopilot (i.e. launch and lunar landing)

[@sleat]

+SophieTheBagel1984 Also, with Orbiter and AMSO, the whole thing happens in real-time. If you choose not to speed things up, you will get an idea of what actual space-flight is about. Long waits between most events, timing being absolutely critical. And relying very heavily on quite simple computers, and mission sequencers, which are most ideally suited to controlling space-vehicles. You can also install Russian equipment mods and basically do your space travel in Cyrillic, too, although I'm not sure if there's a complete, cohesive moon mission with that stuff.

[@SophieTheBagel1984]

Thanks you guys. I will check that out.

[@codediporpal]

After playing Kerbal Space Program game I actually understand how they did this. It was an amazing feat of engineering, especially considering the technology of the time. Our biggest problem with space travel the the propulsion systems. Chemical rockets just can't be made energy dense enough. In fact I read the if the Earth's diameter were just 50% bigger, with 50% more gravity, it's would be impossible to leave Earth using chemical energy!

[@TheLargeHardonCollider]

@ 1:40 After the Command Module (CM) docks with the Lunar Module (LM), it shows the CSM burning its engines again! The lower stages already provided the thrust needed for the moonshot, once you're on your way, you don't want to waste more fuel, in fact you could overshoot and go drifting off into space! Other than that very nice animation.

[@murfdog0]

Thanks, have since added annotation/correction

[@sleat]

+Danoz Manoz While you're at it... After the coast to the moon, there is a braking maneuver that is extremely important, else the LEM/CSM would sling around the moon and end up in an extremely elliptical "free return" orbit around earth, or go into orbit around the sun forever if it was going fast enough. It's called the LOI burn, and uses some of the CSM fuel to get into a more-or-less circular orbit round the moon. Here's a detailed transcript: history.nasa.gov/ap11fj/11day4-loi1.htm

[@punman5392]

Yeah the engines aren't burning the whole time. They only burn in short bursts calculated to change its orbit

[@sleat]

Matt Bowen Yes. With the current state-of-the-art, >99.9% of travel to other planets (or the moon) is coasting.

[@Tim22222]

Nicely done!

[@macdjord]

Good animation, serious technical errors: * During flight, the command module engines are firing. In space, vehicles coast without running their engines. The only times that engine would be fired are when entering lunar orbit, and when breaking orbit to return to earth * No gravity turn during launch. Most of the energy in a launch goes into pushing the vehicle /sideways/ so it's going fast enough to orbit the planet - NOT into pushing up. * Reentry looks to be almost strait down. The reentry had to be done at a /very/ shallow angle, to avoid burning up from the heat. Really, don't you play KSP~?

[@sailorman8668]

Actually, the CSM's would also be fired to execute the occasional required course correction - did you forget this?

[@macdjord]

Sailor Man True, but a) that would only be a small portion of the time, and b) the burn would be mostly lateral, not along the direction of travel.

Questions: 1:41 - how did the craft and LM rotate but maintain directional velocity towards the moon? Side thrusters? Not something the craft was equipped with. - how did the lunar module contain all the technology claimed from this moon trip: 1) broadcasting technology which integrated 3 microphones and several separate video feeds into one signal and send it back to earth? 2) fuel supply, combustion tech, coordination tech, communication with the craft orbiting the moon and a seperate for the communication back to earth, oxygen supply system, food and water, depressurization system???? Look at how much equipment is required at Houston's mission control. The lunar module needs the same amount to perform all the tasks NASA claims. Where is it? How did NASA know and calculate the paths through the v.a. rad belts? Both on the trip to the moon and on the trip back? How did the lunar module dock with the craft? The moon is traveling in multiple directions at extremely high speeds (around the earth, around the sun and through the universe), the craft is traveling a level above, and the lunar module was simply able to dock? "The earth is bombarded with over 100 tons of space rocks a day" - NASA. So during the entire trip, our astronauts didn't encounter one pebble (which traveling thousands of km/hr and would easily rip through the space crafts and suits)? Not to mention, all these accomplishments achieved on their first try to land on the moon. Jaysus!!!

@@CarDusanGospodarSveta I am genuinely looking for discussion and the science behind the moon missons (or than anecdotal, 'after-the-fact' stories/explainations for the discrepancies noted in my original post). I am on the fence to whether or not this feat was accompanied.

[@Agarwaen]

it's called RCS (reaction control thrusters) and both the CSM and LM had them. 1) you think a radio with multiple inputs is something special? also there weren't "several separate video feeds" on any apollo mission, at most there were ONE television signal.

[@xFirstAidx]

@@Agarwaen after further research I did (considering the original comment is two years old 😜), you are correct about the control thrusters. I will leave that observation public and not edit the post so others can see that it was refuted and an incorrect & ignorant statement. I don't remember what I meant by seperate video feeds. Again, you are correct. There was one video feed to NASA which they converted and was broadcasted over multiple TV networks. I may have been referring to the part where Richard Nixon, from the oval office, made a telephone call to Neil A on the moon. To congratulate for the huge accomplishment of the USA. They split screen the moon video feed and the white house's video feed. Live. My other points still stand, I believe. I briefly looked through them and didnt see any I changed my opinion on as I learned more about the moon mission.

Very nicely done, but there is a small technical error with the LEM landing. The ground contact sensors are missing. These were 3 long "poles" that "hung down" from the 3 LEM legs. (The ones without a letter). When these touched the ground the LEM pilot knew he was 1.6 metres above the lunar surface. At this point he'd shut off the descent engine and the LEM would drop 1.6 metres (in 1/6G) to the lunar surface. The engine didn't run during or after touchdown.

[@joanevans9508]

"(The ones without a letter).", sorry "(The ones without a ladder)".

[@Derek_Read]

Nice catch on the "lunar surface sensing probes". I remember hearing about this when I was young and at the time everyone around me joked that it was actually Canada that got to the moon first because this part of the LM (for all 6 lunar landers) was made here. I knew at the time that all the bits and pieces for Apollo were made all over North America so didn't question it, but never really knew the details. Your post prompted to check and it is easy today now that we have Google. I haven't found any specific information on who made the lunar surface sensing probes, but the landing platform and legs were made by a company that still makes landing gear, Héroux-Devtek, headquartered in Quebec.

[@nickwaller3823]

Awesome video!! I have a busting question about these missions, when they perform the TEI, do they aim straight for their landing trajectory or do they perform another burn when closer to earth?

[@fdavpach]

Well neither of them, you can't aim straight cause it will be disastrous to enter straight into the atmosphere, they have 2 options, aim to approach the earth, make a burn to get into orbit around the earth and then de-orbit with an extra burn to land where needed or aim to get into a low orbit and let the atmosphere do the "breaking", the Apollo 11 took the second option, they made the TEI burn in the far side of the moon aiming for a low orbit letting the atmosphere make the breaking at an incredible high temperature then falling into the ocean. One year later but here is your answer, hope you get it.
