Gemini 11 Launch / AS 500F on Pad 39A

lunarmodule5 2024-04-25 | From the NARA - footage is seemingly filmed in extra widescreen format
Description in NARA is "Footage From Project Mercury Launch"

I believe footage shows Gemini 11 crew walkout to transfer van, press site
on the launch day, crew training for emergency egress from LC19, the
Gemini 11 Agena pre-launch, footage of the Gemini 11 launch which is
followed by views of a truck (smoke purpose unknown - chemical?) and
views of the Apollo/Saturn 500F on launch pad 39A.
Of all the footage I have found on the NARA site, this one is definitly "different".
Comments welcomed on what your thoughts are - great footage though!
Audio is NBC radio coverage of the Gemini 11 launch.

Skylab 1 - Countdown/Launch/Orbits (With FD Loop)

lunarmodule5 2024-03-03 | Skylab 1 - May 14th 1973

For the first time in 51 years we follow the countdown, launch and initial orbits of the Skylab Space Station. Includes some descriptions of the anomalies seen during the launch phase, which resulted in the loss of a solar wing and micrometeorite shield. Also included are:

NASA coverage of the countdown and launch as seen on the day
Stacking in the VAB and Rollout of the last Saturn V
100's of photographs depicting various stages of Skylab development, construction and launch
Audio is from the LCC countdown PAO, the Houston PAO and, after orbital insertion, from the Flight Director Loop.
There are various shots of the launch, many that haven't been seen before now.

Apollo 4 Launch - Flight Director Loop

lunarmodule5 2024-02-18 | Apollo 4 Launch - Flight Director Loop

Here is the Flight Director Loop for Apollo 4. Until 2024 this tape has been in the US National Archive and was only digitised a few days ago (it is February 17th 2024 as I write this). Nearly 60 years has passed since it was recorded.

Apollo 4 was an "all up" test of the Saturn V, launched November 9th 1967.

This video contains footage of the stacking of the Saturn V, the roll-out, NASA films of the time, photographs, film of the retrieval of the film pods and SIC booster pieces - A lot of what you are going to watch has never been seen until now.

Audio - the Flight Director Loop is the main audio here. There is very limited audio of the PAO loop for the mission. The last 3 minutes of the count are all that I can find in complete form. The audio for the PAO comes from 4 sources - NASA tape (which is very incomplete) NBC/CBS TV and radio broadcasts live on the day and the Smithsonian collection. You will be able to tell they are different sources but they have been mixed together to form as complete a record as I think currently exists.

Audio is a two track channel - headphones are advised

The Flight Director Loop is just an awesome listen!

My thanks go to Mike Fried who helped me secure the NA audio and the stacking and film recovery footage and to Johannes Kempanen whose help with the documentation surrounding the SII camera pods and SIC recovery were invaluable.
Ed Hengeveld supplied the photos

STS-2 Orbit 2 to Sleep Period - Full Mission PT 2

lunarmodule5 2024-02-16 | STS-2 - Orbit 2 to Sleep Period - Full Mission

STS-2 mission continues. After launch and the first orbit completed the crew troubleshoot some issues seen with the APUs during launch. Star Tracker and IMU alignments are performed, the cargo-bay doors are opened and the crew and Houston troubleshoot a faulty fuel cell, which has to be shutdown, bringing into play the mission rule of a shortened 2 day mission rather than the original planned 5 days. The sleep period starts to end Day 1 orbital activities.

Apollo 11 - Go You Beaut!

lunarmodule5 2024-01-19 | Apollo 11 - Go You Beaut!

July 16th 1969 - Australian radio station 2GB broadcast the launch of Apollo 11.

In the studio, in Sydney, was Brian White (top left), and, reporting live from the Cape, was
journalist Derrin Hinch (top right) , talking via a telephone.

Here is the entire broadcast Derrin sent that day, which, in my opinion, ranks as one
of the more memorable commentaries from that particular day in space history.

If you want to get a sense of the feeling and atmosphere that had built up in the weeks
leading to the first moonlanding and was being felt by over a million people who stood
and watched Apollo 11 liftoff, listen on......Go You Beaut!

Apollo 16 - Full Mission Day 5 (Landing at Descartes)

lunarmodule5 2023-05-27 | Apollo 16 - Full Mission Day 5 (Landing at Descartes)

The fifth day of the mission starts with a wake up period, followed by Young and Duke transferring to the Lunar Module Orion and checking out the LM systems prior to undocking. After undocking, Ken Mattingly, alone in the Command Module Casper encounters a problem in the back up system for the Service Propulsion System engine which means the circularisation burn could not be completed. The crews were told to close the gap and station keep with each other in case a re-docking became necessary and the LMs Descent Engine was needed to help them get home. After several orbits of evaluation, it was determined that Young and Duke could attempt the 5th lunar landing, which occurred some 5 hours late. The coverage ends with the crews sleep period.

Note: During the mission the CSM and LM radio loops were separated with 2 CapCom's in communication with each spacecraft. The audio for Ken Mattingly in the CSM is not available complete. Some of the comms he had are included but it should be noted that this is incomplete and only recorded by PAO on this loop sporadically.

Project Mercury Training/Promotional Film (Some Audio Added)

lunarmodule5 2023-04-19 | Project Mercury Training/Promotional Film

From the USA National Archives - a film which shows various training operations during the build-up to the
first astronaut crewed Mercury-Redstone mission and astronauts participating in promotion of the program.

The first part of the film shows various pad operations, including spacecraft operation and Shepard practicing
emergency egress from Pad 5, where his MR-3 spacecraft and MR7 Redstone rocket are already in situ.
There is no audio for this segment.

The second part of the film shows the three designated prime astronauts for the first mission Alan Shepard,
Gus Grissom and John Glenn are shown at the end of the film - Shepard at the CapCom station in Mercury
Control Center in Florida, Glenn in the clean room with the Mercury spacecraft and Grissom at pad 5.

There was a separate audio track available for Shepard and Glenn, which has been added to the film but,
unfortunately, not for Grissoms piece to camera.

Apollo 16 - Full Mission Day 4 (Arrival at the Moon)

lunarmodule5 2023-01-15 | Apollo 16 - Full Mission Day 4 (Arrival at the Moon)

The fourth day of the Apollo 16 mission saw the crew prepare for lunar orbit insertion (LOI) and descent orbit insertion (DOI) a few orbits later. They jettison the SIMBAY door to reveal the experiments that they will use to study and photograph the moon with in the planned 5 days in lunar orbit. The crew offers a running commentary of the lunar surface as they complete 5 orbits before saying goodnight to Houston in preparation for the following days activities - lunar landing day.

Apollo 13 Flight Director Loop (68:00 - 73:00 GET) Part 11

lunarmodule5 2022-12-29 | Apollo 13 Flight Director Loop (68:00 - 73:00 GET) Part 11

During this period the astronauts take a series of pictures and continue to roll the spacecraft 90 degrees every hour to improve the overall temperature of the spacecraft. Because some of the usual voice downlink communication equipment is turned off to save power the comm is very noisy. There is a lot of discussion about the P+2 burn the crew will perform 2 hours after the spacecraft rounds the moon and is headed back to Earth. The crew can be heard discussing what is going on because the voice downlink is left in VOX mode, At the very beginning of this part of the audio Jim can be heard uttering his now famous line "I think this might be the last moon mission for a while"

lunarmodule5 2022-08-14 | Apollo 13 Flight Director Loop (GET 58:00-63:00)
This video covers the post accident portion of the mission, specifically with the crew powering up the LM Aquarius and performing the DPS burn to get them back on the free return trajectory. Glynn Lunney is the Flight Director.
A reconstruction as near to the time line of the 1st press conference is seen (no audio) as well as network TV coverage reporting on the event as it unfolded some 4-5 hours after the accident- The accuracy of these events in the time line can be ascertained with some accuracy because of the use of air to ground on the original audio of the coverage which coincides with what is heard on the loop.

STS-3 - Full Mission Day 8 - The Landing

lunarmodule5 2022-03-30 | STS-3 - Full Mission Day 8 - The Landing

STS-3 was launched from Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center on March 22nd 1982. Onboard were astronauts Jack Lousma (CDR) and Gordon Fullerton (PLT). This was the 3rd, and longest flight in the Orbital Flight Test (OFT) program. Scheduled for 7 days the flight was extended 1 day due to weather conditions at the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico. WSMR was being used as an alternative to Edwards Air Force Base because of adverse weather at that site.

The audio is two-track, with Mission Control/Spacecraft communications in one channel and PAO in the other. Headphones are recommended.

The video starts during the final astronaut sleep period and a wake up about 9 hours before touchdown. The crew preps for re-entry and landing. The payload bay doors are closed for the final time and the shuttle oriented to re-entry attitude. OMS burn occurs over Australia with touchdown at White Sands some 45 minutes later. The video ends with post landing activities, including a ceremony with the astronauts. Photographs are added as appropriate.

I would like to extend my personal thanks to Col Jack Lousma, who has been instrumental in providing detailed descriptions of the mission and has answered any questions I have had. This has allowed me to produce something that is as near to accurate as to what was seen during the mission and has enhanced the look and realism of the work.

My thanks also go to the following people:

Dwight Steven- Boniecki - Who put me in contact with Jack!
Paolo Mangilli - Paolo's graphic work is second to none and his accurate portrayal of the MOCR is invaluable to this project
Steven Taylor - Steven continues to be an amazing supporter me and this channel. His advice and technical ability with simulators is outstanding.
Ed Hengleved - Ed has provided the majority of the photos from the mission. He is a fountain of knowledge and this project would not be so complete without him
Johannes Kemppenan - Johannes is the go to guy for anything technical, concerning checklists and other important mission details. The checklists are all from his collection
Mark Kirkman - Mark is an expert on everything "Shuttle" and has again leant me his knowledge for this series
Tom Usciak - Tom has given permission to use several batches of photos of the launch and pre-flight activities for STS-3 from his personal collection and the Usciak archive. Those have enhanced the look of the video.
Mike Fried - Mike (shuttlesource) has been more than generous with providing as much video as he has from STS-3 - His channel is the place to go for historic space shuttle video
David Morken - One of the Patreon Patrons! David helped with the launch and countdown proof watching checking for errors
Neicc - From the Discord channel - Neicc has provided help with the presentation of checklists and some re-colorizing of pictures

Thanks too to the Channel and Discord posse who continue to support my channels content. Big shout out to my Patrons on the Patreon - you are so awesome, supporting the content in the ways you do. You have helped me develop the channel content and I am always grateful for your continuing support.

This video is dedicated to the 1000's of people who worked on STS-3, to all the NASA and contractor staff and especially to the STS-3 crew, Jack Lousma and Gordon Fullerton. May Columbia find fair winds. Godspeed the crew of STS-3.

Tom Usciak - Tom has given permission to use several batches of photos of the launch and pre-flight activities for STS-3 from his personal collection and the Usciak archive. Those have enhanced the look of the video.
Mike Fried - Mike (shuttlesource) has been more than generous with providing as much video as he has from STS-3 - His channel is the place to go for historic space shuttle video
David Morken - One of the Patreon Patrons! David helped with the launch and countdown proof watching checking for errors

This video is dedicated to the 1000's of people who worked on STS-3, to all the NASA and contractor staff and especially to the STS-3 crew, Jack Lousma and Gordon Fullerton. May Columbia find fair winds. Godspeed the crew of STS-3.
