=== Glycol loop checks ===
Next the primary and secondary water-glycol coolant loops are checked and the primary water-glycol coolant loop is activated. The grey lines indicate displays or controls which are not available at the moment, please ignore these steps.

=== Panels checks ===
Next some checks regarding the panel displays and controls have to be done and a few but very important devices have to be turned on. We begin at panel 325, which is to the left of the left side panel.

Revision as of 22:29, 18 October 2006

When it's possible, the original Apollo documentation is used for the checklists. Steps, which are not possible at the moment, are denoted in grey. Additionally there are checklists in Word file format in the Doc\Project Apollo - NASSP\Check List directory of your installation. Procedural steps in this section are presented in tabular form and in sequence they occure during the mission. The following is a detailed explanation of the columnar data presented in the tabulated lists:

Apollo 15 launch checklistA15_LAUNCH_CHECK
Time This column contains the mission time the procedure is to be done. Sometimes there's no fixed time when to do a procedure, in that case the time is left out.
Procedure The procedure is a group of steps or overall tasks involved in performing a complete function or operation. It often consists of controls the astronauts have to toggle or display readings that have to be checked. See CSM panels for more informations.
Panel The panel number of a particular switch or display for easier panel navigation.
Remarks Any useful comment. Please notice especially differences to the original function, bugs or other issues.

Spacecraft systems activation

In Project Apollo - NASSP the Saturn prelaunch checklist starts at 3 hours before launch with the backup crew in the spacecraft. At first some of the spacecraft's systems have to be activated.

Activation of the inertial
measurement unit.

Backup crew prelaunch checks

C&WS status check

With the first procedure the caution and warning system is checkedAOH2.

Glycol loop checks

Next the primary and secondary water-glycol coolant loops are checked and the primary water-glycol coolant loop is activated. The grey lines indicate displays or controls which are not available at the moment, please ignore these steps.

Standby inverter checks

Time Procedure Panel Remarks
  C/W NORM - BOOST 2 This is not mentioned in the Apollo Operations HandbookAOH2, but otherwise the C/W lights during the inverter check won't work.

Panels checks

Next some checks regarding the panel displays and controls have to be done and a few but very important devices have to be turned on. We begin at panel 325, which is to the left of the left side panel.
