Hi to all,
this time I have an "historical" type of question.
I came across this photo about "living Apollo astronauts" ... I checked in Wikipedia and there are still 13 living souls so I suppose this photo is showing only 8 of them...anyway I cannot recognize two of them...some of you know can...
thanks for nice explanations, now everything is clearer.
Just the ORDEAL part was not mentioned in the checklist and I didn't think about it.
Thanks Paolo
yes, I also enabled it since the beginning so the alarms I got were surely due to time acceleration issues...and as I said if I stick to x10 they never repeat themselves ... surely each computer make the difference but so far I feel comfortable with x10 and x30 when the AGC is down; I tried also...
thank you Indy, so if I have understood you correctly:
I must be at the ATTITUDE specified at the GET specified, at that GET I start the Orb Rate, after 5 min I should take the photo, stop the orb rate at the end of the exposures (for example if I have to take 25 photos at 6 sec each, it means...
Hi, common to this tread is the fact that during time acceleration (max x30 on my PC) many times I also got RESTART and PROG alarms, few times I also got the NO ATT light ON losing the alignment, and things get screwed up, so I also started using only x10 most of the time without having similar...
Hi again to all,
going forward to day 7 with the 1st Landmark tracking exercise.
I did P51, I got the T alignment at 142:49:20, I did P52 Nominal -> so I am assuming that at 142:49:20 while in attitude 0-0-0 I should be LVLH Heads up with the SCT pointed to the Earth below.
the PAD I got was...
Hi to all in the forum,
I arrived to day 6 and 7 of Apollo 9 and I am not sure what I am doing wrong even after reading the real flight plan and related docs, so I posted here.
day 6) S095
when I got the MCC S065 update the 1st time I got this PAD:
so what I did:
V49E to get into the attitude...
HI, thanks for your reply.
No worries, I also checked the post only now, during the last few weeks I was (and still I am) quite busy with real life/family issues to deal with , so not sure when I may have again time to restart my missions .... hopefully sometime next week :-(

Hi, if I may suggest a course of action, I would also recommend to start using the LM with Nassp v8, as apparently Indy91 updated the LM software starting from A9 missions recently, so they all should be updated (up to A11 I believe ?).
As I am still struggling with the LM in A9 I am the last...
thank you Indy91, you saved my day :hailprobe:... I will try once more time with all you inputs tonight.
Gentlemen as always.
(by the way I have a question for you concerning the Space Shuttle Ultra project, I saw you are actively involved also there, I will make it in that forum, I would be...
Hi,
I want to start A7 in NASSP v8 so I will check soon if I have the same issue, anyway here are some possibilities I discovered in V7.
PLEASE I am not a NASSP expert so I cannot guarantees what I am saying is correct but I saw sometimes it helped me...
you can try to go back to P00 by these...
Hi to all,
after having red some manuals about the LM to understand it better I decided to go back to A9 LM activation scenario up to the DPS docked burn; indeed I made progresses, but still I am experiencing weird issues, some of which might be "normal" or some "not", so please I would like to...
@n72.75
thanks, happy to know that, surely I will restart Apollo 7 from scratch with NASSP v8 if you say so (clearly the historical scenarios will be outdated, so for practicing rendezvous if in serious panic I may still jump to the v7 hoping around with the scenarios there before re-attempting...
thank you Indy91 for your explanations, cannot say I fully understood you right now, but I will try to have a look at the doc you mentioned first and I will try to go on with the LM activation checklists and try some V49 auto-maneuver with the LM...if still have doubts I will go back for new...
HI, sorry, I did some more testing...
in the first picture you see what I am getting while coarse aligning the IMU of the AGC using the angles provided by PAMFD (see angled in the right bottom corner) .... see also the OG/IG/MG in the registers R1,2,3 of the AGC and the FDAI1 ball --- you see...
Hi to all, I am back with some new issues/questions.
I am still alternating between A7 and A9 (having completed A8), I arrived at the moment where you need to activate the LM before getting the PAD for the docked DPS burn.
here are the problems:
1) when I do the IMU coarse alignment I will enter...
MY APOLOGIZES TO ALL people which will read this post !!!!!!
Please forget my previous post; really sorry to post it.
I just "panic" and I didn't try to Sign In ... I thought to signing in it would have ask for money...I should had tried before posting .... sorry again.
I can confirm: all steps...
Ho to ALL in this SSU forum, I am new to this forum.
I used to run SSU many years ago (around 2018), after that due to frustrations to run the sim (not being able to go beyond earth orbit insertion as don’t know what else to do...) I stop it, and I switched to NASSP 7 on Orbiter 2010. Recently...
