Incidente??

Guardate questa immagine https://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/apollo/apollo16/html/as16-122-19533.html (ho messo questo link e non il link diretto all’immagine per poter permettere la lettura della didascalia e la scelta tra HIGH RES e LOW RES). Si riferisce al modulo d’ascela del LM dell’Apollo 16. Visibilmente ammaccato!! Cosa era successo?? Chi hanno tamponato?

A me non sembra ammaccato… è solo una parte “pieghevole”.

Mi sembra di avere letto che si trattava di un rivestimento metallico sottile (con funzione protettiva o di controllo termico) scosso dalle vibrazioni indotte dal motore a razzo.

Si, avevo letto anch’io la stessa cosa. Le pareti del modulo lunare erano tutte sottilissime. Quella della cabina pressurizzata però erano con struttura composita con cuore a nido d’ape. Tutto il resto era semplicemente con funzione protettiva o di controllo termico, sempre sottilissima ma senza nido d’ape proprio perché non aveva bisogno di particolare restistenza.

That Picture from the LM liftoff video shows wat happend


the “blast off” Ripp the Termal Covers lose.

Problem ?
YES after that Termal coverl lies part oft the Aft Equipment Bay Assembly.

include Environmental Control 2 Gasous oxygen Tanks and Electrical Power Subsystem.
Part of Controllsystem, Radar, Communications, Instrumentation Subsystem.


After Rendevous with CSM the lost Control of LM Orion
wat indicate that Controllsystem part was Dammage true Heat

!!! WOW!!! cmq anche tom hanks in apollo 13 diceva che il LEM in alcune parti era ricoperto da piccoli strati di “carta stagnola”

the outside Hull of LM are made layers of “tinfoil” !!!

the boards “Do Not Touch the Surface” were not for Nothing on LM assembly

Thank you so much Michael! - Grazie molte Michael!

Only the external panels were thick a bit more than a tin foil. That’s why the LEM was designed to fly in outer space and not in the atmosphere - Solo i rivestimenti esterni erano spessi poco più di un foglio di alluminio. Questo perchè il LEM era progettato per viaggiare nel vuoto dello spazio e non nell’atmosfera.

I found that picture on Wikipedia


(after Moon landing)
it show how lose the Thermalblanket are

Impressionante!! :scream:

Qualcuno ha calcolato quante radiazioni hanno assorbito gli astronauti delle missioni Apollo ?

Salute e Latinum per tutti !

So far i know No Astronaut

but they hab Difficulties with LM

like
the first LM hab konstant Breakdown of Elektric Powersystem !

LM-4 Incorrect switch setting led to wild gyrations
when the LM ascent stage separated at an altitude of 15 km above the lunar surface.
The crew regained control only two seconds before the LM
would have been an an irreversible course to crash on the moon. :scream:
The astronauts swore so heavy, they label Mission THE FLIGHT OF APOLLO 10 - FOR ADULT AUDIENCES ONLY"

LM-5 Apollo 11 had Flight Computer Crash durnig Decent.
Amstrong & Aldrin fly the LM manual down.
bevor Launch to Lunar orbit Aldrin accidentally broke the circuit breaker
that armed the main engine for lift off from the moon :scream:
with help of a ball-point pen was sufficient to activate the switch

LM-6 Apollo 12 Saturn V hit by lightning.
LM making a pin-point landing, less than 200 meters of the Surveyor 3 probe

LM-7 Apollo 13 show how Tough the LM was !
turn in record time of 15 min in to “lifeboat”
peform a PC+2 burn with CM&SM dockt to it, and without Flight Computer !!! :smiley:

LM-8 Apollo 14
Five attempts to dock the command module with the lunar module failed !
then hab Problems with Comunication breakdowns
and Aktive Abortsystem durnig Decent :scream:
they had reprogram the LM computer during landing
with the Order " Abort complett " to shotdown the Pyrotech

LM-10 Apollo 15 all good

LM-11 Apollo 16 incidente

LM-12 Apollo 17 all good

The Lunar Astronaut dint like to Sleep in LM
one had to sit on Accent engine cover in suit
the other situated on grund in suit
while LM make loud Noise from time to time

the TV serie From the Earth to the Moon
show all of those Problems
