The Translation Hand Controller (THC) provides the capability of manual commanding simultaneous accelerations along the spacecraft axes, that means translational manoevers. It is also used to initiate several transfer commands, to transfer the spacecraft control from CMC to SCS control for example. The real THC is basically a kind of joystick, but with some significant differences. The main functions are simulated by configuring an external joystick with the Project Apollo Launchpad Configurator, for some functions the panel is used.
Panel switches
In order to use the THC it need to be powered, which is done by switching the TRANS CONTR PWR switch A to the upper positionI.
Additionally to the translational movements the real THC may be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise:
