  • reated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1967, this color film touts the preparation and ultimate success of Apollo 5 - which on January 22, 1968, became the first unmanned flight of the Apollo Lunar Module (LM) as the United States continued its plan to land on the moon. it was the final major piece of Apollo hardware to be tested. The film opens with the module resting atop a Saturn 1B launch vehicle. At mark 01:18, the viewer is told that this very rocket was originally designed to be used a year earlier and launch the crew of Apollo 1 - Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Edward H. White, and Roger Chaffee - into a low Earth orbital flight, but the January 27, 1967 cabin fire that killed all three astronauts left the Saturn 1B standing at on Pad 37 at the months passed. At mark 01:50, the viewer is shown Mission Control in Houston, and introduced to astronauts Jim McDivitt and Rusty Schweickart (who along with Dave Scott performed the first manned flight of a LM as part of Apollo 9 in March 1969). Astronauts Frank Borman and Bill Anders are introduced at mark 02:00 - Borman, Anders, and Jim Lovell were the crew of Apollo 8, the first manned spacecraft to leave Earth orbit in December 1968.
    “Apollo 5 is one of the most complex space missions ever flown. It has been compared to taking a brand new design airplane with brand new design engines, and flying it from New York to Los Angeles by remote control,” the narrator states at mark 02:25, emphasizing the overwhelming complexity of the mission and its importance - determining whether the spacecraft is safe for man.
    At mark 03:10, Anders provides the viewer with an explanation of the lunar module and its main job - to successfully land on the moon’s surface and then return the crew to the Command Service Module in lunar orbit. “The LM is really the taxi that provides the transportation between the orbiting Command Module and the lunar surface,” Borman adds at mark 03:58.
    Because the LM was designed to operate in a weightless environment, the film explains that testing it against Earth’s gravity posed a problem. The solution came via a man-made vacuum of an engine test stand, shown beginning at mark 04:50. Yet the real test would come only during the flight test.
    Borman rejoins the narration at mark 05:33, explaining that great care had to be exercised during the unmanned Apollo 5 test to ensure the safety of the Apollo program moving forward. “This is the first flight of the vehicle; naturally we’ll all be looking at it with very keen interest,” he says.
    At mark 06:16, the Saturn rocket ignites and thrusts upward with its fragile cargo into Earth orbit. Beginning at mark 07:05, the NASA film shows a simulation as to what occurred next as aerodynamic shroud covering LM-1 is jettisoned and the module is eventually deployed. Tracking stations on Earth are shown following the spacecraft’s path while back in Houston, engineers perform a series of tests. At mark 09:07, the LM sends out a warning signal as the first planned 39 second descent engine burn was started but aborted by the onboard guidance computer after only four seconds. (Prior to launch there was a suspected fuel leak and a decision was made to delay arming the engine until the time of ignition, which increased the time required for the propellant tanks to pressurize and thrust to build to the required level.) They then performed the "fire in the hole" test and another ascent engine burn. After 11 hours and 10 minutes the test was over, and control of the two stages was terminated. The stages were left in a low enough orbit that atmospheric drag would cause their orbits to decay and re-enter the atmosphere. The ascent stage re-entered on January 24 and burned up; the descent stage re-entered on February 12 and fell into the Pacific Ocean.
    “Throughout the flight of Apollo 5, the Lunar Module had performed magnificently. All systems operated as predicted or far exceeded the predictions. The inability of an onboard computer to cope with a programming error was overcome by the infinitely more flexible mind of man,” the narrator concludes beginning at mark 15:22. And with that, Mission Control and NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz relax, light up cigars, and keep aiming for the moon.

    Tom Kelly the LM program manager for Grumman, wrote an excellent book about the lunar module. Incredible detail as if he kept meticulous notes. Published in 2001 "Moon Lander: How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module" and Kelly died in 2002. Also Tom Hanks HBO Apollo series in late 1990s had an episode following Kelly on how he lead the team, or his team led the program as one part showed how the team spent a weekend creating a wooden mockup to show astronauts can be standing and only need one forward window for each. This was ***key*** to the LM design that saved considerable weight and size without so many heavy windows as originally planned.
    Interesting on last part where they light up victory cigars in MOCR. Fast forward to 1990s and beyond where smoking is prohibited in federal buildings. A presentation by Kranz in 1990s, he mentioned "us old guys should smuggle some cigars into mission control."

    This unmanned LM test was originally scheduled for April, 1967.
    Had the Apollo 1 tragedy not occurred, Apollo 1 would have flown in February, 1967 on a flight of at least eleven days, perhaps even sixteen days.
    April, 1967 would have been the first unnamed test of the Saturn 5 rocket. and the first unmanned LM test flight.
    In June of 1967, there were to have been three missions. One would have been an unnamed LM that would have been launched by a Saturn 1-B.
    A second manned Apollo would have been launched on a Saturn 1-B to dock with the previously launched LM for a manned low earth orbit test.
    The third launch would have been the second unmanned launch if the Saturn 5.
    August would have seen the first manned Saturn 5 launch, with a high earth orbit test (several thousand miles) of the LM.
    October, 1967 would have seen the first lunar mission, a lunar orbital flight and lunar landing rehearsal.
    Christmastime 1967 would have been the first manned lunar landingof
    Supposedly, had they lived, the Apollo 1 crew of Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, and Ed White would also flown that mission and that Grissom and Chaffee, instead of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, would have been the first two men in the moon.....and that the landing might have been on Christmas Eve, 1967.

      It's more agreed that if Apollo 1 hadn't happened - they wouldn't have gotten to the moon. Too many safety failures, shoddy work. It took those three men for the program to take a step back a moment and do things differently. Even then, many issues happened and the majority of missions was almost down to sheer luck.

    They got a far superior command module because of the fire and the success of the program and landings...
    Only Apollo 13 had problems due to a 02 tank explosion and they took fixes after that. A third tank placed at a different location and a super extra battery was installed for more emergency power if needed.

    • @WizzRacing
      @WizzRacing 6 місяців тому

      There was three tanks to start with. And they added an extra 200ah battery just to power the Command Module.
      The real issue with the explosion. The tank assembly was designed to be onboard Apollo 8, but it slipped on the platform mounting bolts. When it was being installed. So they removed it. Then put the one designed for Apollo 13 on it.
      Think about that. Apollo 8 went to the moon without a LEM. Had that tank assembly been installed on it. There was no chance of them making it back. As that one tank was damaged years early from over voltage. And nobody knew about the voltage changes NASA made. It was never passed down to the technicians. That actually tested the tanks.

      As if the astronauts woke up one morning and hopped into a rocket that was built the night before out of tin foil and sticky tape completely ignoring all the years of work that went into the end result. To watch these films of the test flights is incredible as you see what went into them. But no, just ignore all that and cry 'fake' which is an insult to every single person who contributed to this monumental achievement.
      But of course, they would never bother to watch stuff like this as it doesn't fit their idiotic narrative. I used to feel sorry for those people, but their ignorance is deliberate and determined so it's hard to feel pity for people like that.

One observation/criticism, at around 6:40 Gene Krantz says " go on IP , meaning go on Internal Power, however the video shows an already in flight Saturn 1. A rocket that is atatched still to its launch tower uses ground power, general y around 60secs before launch, controllers disable and confirm the Rockets batteries can initiate the launch sequence.

      Thing about that is, billions have been spent on the poor across the globe prior to the program and billions continue to be spent, so it's not as if money isn't given over to them. I'm talking globally. It's not likely that such allocation of financial resources will end either.
      The problem is that corrupt governments and agencies siphon off that aid money to stash away in their Swiss bank accounts. That is the real crime... not a space program, but the waste of administrative costs by those working in distributing aid money or services and blatant theft of that money. Perhaps those naysayers should be making a bigger noise about that than a space program. No one seems to criticize a country like India, with their endemic and crippling poverty, social issues, etc, yet feel necessary to send probes to Mars for example.
      At the very least a space program is not an army, weapons or destruction of people and property. Thinking about the obscene amounts of money spent on warfare should occupy their minds. Science and the acquisition of knowledge is never a waste of money, but it's short-sighted thinking like that which completely misses the point and where their focus should be.

      They didn't number the flights that flew until Apollo 4. There were a lot of unmanned vehicle tests -- mostly with Saturn 1's/1B's and boilerplate (engineering mock-ups approximating manned flight vehicles) hardware. Several of the surviving boilerplate command modules are in museums around the Untied States. They were instrumented flight hardware but never equipped with environmental control systems.
      There was an Apollo 1 mission but it was cancelled after the pad fire that killed 3 astronauts during a test (January 27, 1967). The designation "Apollo 1" was never reused for another test mission.
      Apollo 4, 5, 6 were not well advertised because they were unmanned missions.
      Apollo 4 and 6 tested the Saturn V rocket with a Command Module but no Lunar Module because they were having problems developing the LM and the first manned LM tests were delayed until 1969 (Apollo 9).
      Apollo 5 did test the LM (the only unmanned LM test) but it wasn't a full-up LM in the sense that A) they had no landing legs to save on weight and B) the batteries and oxygen tanks were only partially loaded. The batteries were partially discharged to prevent over-voltage of the electronics and the oxygen tanks were only partially filled to save weight and also because it was unmanned.
      Apollo 5 used a Saturn 1B, a much less powerful rocket than the Saturn V, to put it into orbit. [The Saturn 1B is an uprated version of the earlier Saturn 1 rocket but otherwise similar in appearance.] Because of this, they didn't test a command module along with the LM. It was a lunar module-only test. The Saturn 1B could NOT boost both the Command Module and Lunar Module on the same booster rocket into orbit. Most Saturn 1B's that were flown boosted Command Modules into orbit. The last flight of a Saturn 1B was the Apollo mission that flew as part of the Apollo/Soyuz test project.
      The last flown Saturn V was used to boost the Skylab (1) space station into orbit.
      There are leftover Saturn rockets and rocket components there weren't used (Saturn 1's, 1B's, and V's) in museums around the United States. None of them (except a few preserved engines), of course, are in condition to ever be used for manned or unmanned flights. They haven't been in climate-controlled storage for well over 40 years and there was never any serious intention to fly any of those rockets after the Apollo program wound down...

If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
      In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous UA-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.
