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.

Time	Procedure	Panel	Remarks
-03:00:00	C/W system activation     C/W POWER - 1 (up)   MASTER ALARM pb/lt (3) - on,   push	2	The suit compressor alarm is normal.
