Apollo 7 was the first manned mission in the Apollo program to be launched. 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.
In Project Apollo - NASSP the Apollo 7 mission is available in Quickstart mode, Standard mode and Virtual AGC mode.
Quickstart mode
The Apollo 7 Quickstart - Launch scenario in the Quickstart Missions folder starts a new Apollo 7 mission. The following table shows the currently available mission phases together with the checklists to use:
| Mission phase | Checklists | Scenario | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prelaunch | - | Launch | Scenario starts 2h before lift-off, everything runs automatically. Use time acceleration up to 100 if you don't want to wait. |
| Launch & Earth orbit insertion | - | - | The Saturn is controlled by the autopilot. Time acceleration is reset to 1 at T-20s automatically, you should not use time acceleration until you reached Earth orbit.
At about T+12min Engine cutoff occurs, the spacecraft is in the almost circular Earth Parking Orbit (EPO). |
