	The '''Apollo 7 Virtual AGC - Launch''' scenario in the Project Apollo - NASSP folder starts a new Apollo 7 mission.		The '''Apollo 7 Virtual AGC LVDC++ - Launch''' scenario in the Project Apollo - NASSP folder starts a new Apollo 7 mission. The scenario uses the Virtual Apollo Guidance Computer (Virtual AGC) emulator and the simulated [[Launch Vehicle Digital Computer]] (LVDC++). The optional [[Mission Control Center]] scenario ('''Apollo 7 Virtual AGC LVDC++ MCC - Launch''') also enables the ground and mission tracking, automatically generated uplinks etc.

			Additionally a set of scenarios throughout the mission are provided under "Scenarios\Project Apollo - NASSP\Apollo - Historical Missions\Apollo 7".

	'''[[w:Apollo_7\|Apollo 7]]''' was the first manned mission in the Apollo program which reached orbit. It was an eleven-day earth-orbital mission, the first manned launch of the [[Saturn IB]] launch vehicle, and the first three-man American space mission. Wally Schirra, Walt Cunningham and Donn Eisele take the most complex machine yet created, the Apollo CSM, on its first test flight.

			The main purpose of the Apollo 7 Mission was to check out the Apollo CSM Spacecraft. The mission was sperated into two major portions, rendezvous maneuvers and SPS maneuvers. The rendezvous manuevers were designed to check out procedures and methods to rendevous with another spacecraft, in this case the SIVB. The SPS phase checked out the ability of the SPS to perform multiple burns.

	The main purpose of the Apollo 7 Mission was to check out the Apollo CSM Spacecraft. The mission was sperated into two major portions, rendezvous maneuvers and SPS maneuvers. The rendezvous manuevers were designed to check out procedures and methods to rendevous with another spacecraft, in this case the SIVB. The SPS phase checked out the ability of the SPS to perform multiple burns.

	At MET 2:55:00 the CSM separates from the SIVB. The CSM performs a simulated transposition and docking with the SIVB and then maintains station keeping with the SIVB.

	At MET 26:25:00 the rendezvous procedure begins with the first SPS burn. This corrective combination maneuver is designed to put the spacecraft from 75nm ahead to 80nm behind and 8nm below the SIVB at MET 28:00:00. Once archived the next SPS burn at MET 28:00:00 puts the spacecraft in a coelepitical with the SIVB. The CSM will begin to "catch up" to the SIVB. At MET 29:16:00 the terminal phase initiation maneuver, or TPI, will occur using the AGC. There are two midcourse corrections at TPI+15 minutes and at TPI+21 minutes. Braking begins when the CSM is 1nm from the target until the spacecraft is within a few hundred yards of the SIVB.		At MET 26:25:00 the rendezvous procedure begins with the first SPS burn.
