Apollo 12 - Mission (Day 9)The last "full" day of the Apollo 12 mission begins with wake up music, including the now infamous "Yankee Clipper!" radio call out. The crew conduct more star sightings, update their flight plan for the following days re-entry and perform a waste water dump along with a repeat of the previous days S-Band antenna test. Before settling in for their last night aboard Yankee Clipper, they take part in a live TV broadcast, where they answer questions asked by the news media via the Capcom Jerry Carr.Note: Because of the way the TV broadcast is presented I have added it complete at the end of the video as a stand alone presentation. All audio/film and photographs are courtesy NASAAll simulator shots completed on Orbiter Space Simulator using the AMSO and NASSP add-ons.
Apollo 12 - Splashdown (Full Mission - Day 10)November 24, 1969, 20:58:24 UTCThe final day of the Apollo 12 mission - The crew wakeup is followed by photographs and a P23 update. Solar Eclipse phots are taken in what the crew called the most visually spectacular moment of the mission. A last correction burn is made as they approach the earth and Service Module separation occurs. Re-entry is followed by TV coverage of the splashdown. The crew are transferred to the USS Hornet and into the Mobile Quarantine Facility where President Nixon calls them. The second mission to the lunar surface is complete.Mission duration: 10 days, 4 hours, 36 minutes, 24 seconds
Apollo 12 Countdown & Launch (Network TV/NASA TVNetwork coverage (CBS/ABC/NBC) and NASA TV feed coverage of the launch of Apollo 12. I have put as much of the video available to present a longer and more linear representation of the live event. Fullscreen is used when there are sections when only one source is available - for 2 sources a side-by-side comparison is used. Audio is mixed together where available.
May 25, 2024Apollo 12 - EVA-2 The Complete MoonwalkWhen the TV camera broke on the first EVA, all we could do was listen to what the astronauts were describing and try to imagine what they were seeing. This presentation should go some way to help visualise what was going on that day on the moon.This project would not have been possible without the dedication and determination of Brian McInall. He produced 3000+ individual stop motion slides, each one slightly different, which, when played together, form as accurate a record of the EVA-2 activities as is possible. He also produced maps and diagrams that help to describe the narrative graphically. Thank you Brian, you are an amazing space historian and a steely-eyed missile man.The EVA is documented in this video through the animation of portions of a much larger map covering the entire surface operations of Apollo 12, on the Ocean of Storms. This Apollo 12 Grand Traverse Map is available here:https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploa...It is highly recommended that viewers open and refer to this map during this video in order to better appreciate what was accomplished during Apollo 12, just the second lunar landing missionMy contribution to this project is, as usual, the setting of all items into an editor. I have created graphics to compliment Brians work, including all the rock samples, crew debrief comments and anomaly items that were discussed post flight. Every picture (and one 16mm sequence) the crew took that day is included at the proper time in the mission. I created new flight plan graphics and checklists so the viewer can follow along as the crew wake up,suit up, conduct the EVA and get back inside the LM. In the end there were over 5000 objects in the editor!Brian and I have spent over 4 years researching and collaborating with others who share the passion to preserve and present historical spaceflight. Many thanks go to Robin Wheeler, David Woods (and the ALSJ), Johannes Kemppanen, Ed Hengeveld and Jackson Tyler. Without you this project would not have been possible or as comprehensive - Thank you all. Finally - This video is dedicated to Pete Conrad, Alan Bean and their families. The Bean and Conrad families have supported and encouraged us both and it has been a privilege to work on their mission.We both hope we have done Pete, Al and yourselves proud Regards LM5 and Brian All slides of Mini Pete and Al courtesy Brian McInallAll other media courtesy NASAOrbiter Space Simulator was used to produce the "fly in" sequence
Oct 31, 2024Apollo 12 Lunar Lift-Off/Rendezvous/Docking/LM Jettison (Full Mission 20)Having just completed their second moonwalk, the crew get ready for lunar liftoff. The checklist ids completed. Lunar Liftoff occurs and the two spacecraft take 2 orbits to rendezvous with each other. TV and 16mm film is taken during the docking. The crew then transfer to the Command Module and jettison the Lunar Module. Intrepid is deorbited and crashes onto the moon to provide seismic data. The crew then have some communication issues as they settle in for the end of Day 6. All media courtesy NASA except the photograph showing where the LM crashed courtesy NASA/Phil Stooke and the slides showing the LM position on the surface, courtesy Brian McInall All animations are screenshot from AMSO/Orbiter Space SimulatorMy thanks to Amy Bean and Peter Conrad who have encouraged from across the pond!This is the final part of the Apollo 12 Full Mission. It has been quite a journey from starting in 2016 to finishing 8 years later. This entire series has been dedicated to Pete, Al and Dick, Godspeed the crew of Apollo 12
