Launch checklist (Virtual AGC)

From Project Apollo - NASSP
Jump to navigation Jump to search

At T+00:00:00 the Saturn launches automatically. The following tables show the historical launch sequence of Apollo 16AOH2, all other Saturn V missions are very similar. Only the Saturn 1b missions are different, because the Saturn 1b stage has only 2 stages, so there's only 1 staging event. {{ #if: true | |

Attention
Please note that all DSKY interaction mentioned in the original documentation cannot be used in Standard mode with the Simple AGC.

Attention
Please note that all DSKY interaction on the last 2 pages above cannot be used in Standard mode with the Simple AGC. With the Simple AGC just enter V37 N00E to go to program P00.

Postorbital insertion checks

After SIVB engine cutoff (SECO) the spacecraft is in an almost circular earth orbit, called "Earth Parking Orbit" (EPO). Now the postorbital insertion checks have to be done.
