    Question mintFactor Question

    Hello, I am currently studying the lemsystems.cpp file, and I came across the following two lines in the void LEM::SystemsInternalTimestep(double simdt) function (lines 1331 and 1332): double mintFactor = __max(simdt / 20.0, 0.02); double tFactor = __min(mintFactor, simdt); I'm not entirely...

    MCC-4 Scrubbed, REFSMMAT Uplink doesnt' work

    Hello, I'm doing an Apollo 11 mission, and I have just been informed that MCC-4 has been scrubbed. It then asks me to prepare for a data uplink by turning on the various UPLINK TLM buttons. I set all of that up, and press the "Ready for Uplink" button, but then, all it says is: "CSM state...

    Manual Attitude switches

    Hello, I have been working through an Apollo 11 simulation, and I notice that one of the switches that I constantly need to press is the Manual Attitude switches. The problem is, I have no idea what they do! I've tried looking in AOH Vol 1, but it's very cryptic, and doesn't really help me...

    Question ACG Memory Addressing

    I am currently studying "The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation" by Frank O'Brien, and I'm having some trouble with the section on memory addressing. On page 61, under the heading "Fixed storage banking," it says the following: "One value has already been mentioned: a binary...

    Problem More problems with Apollo 11 MCC

    I've started Apollo 11 again from the beginning, and everything was going well until MCC-1. MCC progresses successfully from State 24 to State 25 Substate 2, but it doesn't seem to get any further, it just sits there. I therefore never find out whether MCC-1 is go or scrubbed. A few days ago I...

    Question MFD Checklist "Decal"

    Hello, I'm just wondering, what is meant on the MFD checklist when the item has (Decal) next to it? I'm connecting the LM to CSM power at the moment, and I've just been skipping the Decal steps, but then the Sys Test 4D gives me 0 volts. I guess this is supposed to be the CSM/LM umbilical...

    Problem Apollo 11 MCC doesn't uplink state vector

    Hello, I'm about 7 hours into an Apollo 11 mission, and for some reason MCC isn't uplinking state vectors to me. I set all the required switches to UP TLM, etc. and I say "Ready for uplink" in the MCC menu. It then says: Ready for Uplink CSM State Vector and then nothing happens. No lights...

    Apollo Operations Handbook Vol 2

    About 10 years ago, it looks like a copy of the AOH Vol 2 for the CSM was scanned and made available here: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=15413.0. As far as I can tell all of the links are now broken, and I've had no luck searching online for the handbook. Can anyone here...

    Lower framerates on more powerful computer

    Hello, I've primarily been using NASSP on my laptop, but I recently set it up on my desktop, which is far more powerful. However, when I run the Apollo 8 mission from launch, the frame rate is substantially lower on the desktop PC. On the desktop, the frame rate maxes out at about 15 fps, with...
