Apollo 11- Day 3 (Full Mission)

Apollo 11 - Day 3 (Full Mission)

18th July 1969 - This video starts at GET 43h 29m and covers the third day of the flight. This includes photography of the earth and a TV transmission to check out the lunar module. Passive Thermal Control (PTC) problems result in the crew having to stop the spacecraft rotation and start PTC again. The video ends at GET 62h 30m.

The Full Mission Series Production - An Explanation of the Process

Production began in February 2018 with the intention of release on the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's launch day (subsequently the pre and post flight press conferences were added). Each video took between 1 and 3 months to produce. Full Mission videos start with editing of the available audio for that particular day, sometimes split bewteen 3 tracks of audio (air to ground/flight directors loop/crew onboard tape). Once that process is completed the available TV transmissions or other associated video is positioned along with 16mm film taken by the crew. Photographs are placed in the mission timeline aprroximately near to where there were taken in the mission. Captions are then added to give pertinent information. The gaps that are left visually are filled with screen captures of the spacecraft from the Orbiter Space Simulator. Positions of spacecraft are approximated to what would have been seen on the mission, but during TLI, CSM RCS and SPS burns (LOI etc) the orientation is as near as I can get it to the actual (with sage advice from RW). Once these screen captures are in place the Apollo Guidence Computer (Virtual AGC) screens are captured. This involves setting the AGC time to the PAO announcements during the flight, screen capturing them and then transferring them to the timeline. Finally the title sequences are added.

Final editing of the whole video takes place with a run-through of the whole thing before the render of the video. Video sizes vary from 4 to 24gb.

The trust in the team. These may be the bravest people I’ve ever known ………watching these guys when I was a kid inspired me to become the simple engineer that I am…….god speed Neil and Mike! And thank you Dr. Aldrin.

[ROBOPTI]

These videos are absolutely awesome - Thank you SO MUCH for hosting them !!!! ... Been part of my routine for the last few days ;)

[PittsSZ]

I've been interested in Apollo for 44 years (since I was old enough to understand what ASTP was all about), and I've only seen and heard a fraction of the content presented. Your series will be my go-to archive for years to come! Love the use of the "Orbiter" sim, which I've never been patient (or smart) enough to actually use past the tutorial missions.

Good morning Apollo Control, good to have you back.

[ulysses_grant]

And yet there are still ppl who think the man didn't land in the moon.

[pinedelgado]

Another GREAT one, lunarmodule5!!! Thank U in bushels!!!! :) :) :)

[yassm]

Thank you very much sir, your work is very much appreciated.

[DP-tssh]

Here we are on S11E03 with another crazy episode with Aldrin, Armstrong and Collins.

[TheTank]

Such amazing work! I WISH I was alive to witness this!

[juhasaarikko]

Day 3 in the bag. Great footage from the LEM, my favorite spacecraft. The Black team is now in charge and they told me to hit the sack...

[robrussell]

This is why I can't do video games. That's just a bunch of guys sitting at computers making something look super real. But THIS IS REAL. And watching it in real time in 1969 was more fascinating and magical than any video game could ever be.

44:14 "Can you tell us why you held up the information this long?" God I wish I could have seen Frank Borman's face. This is why I hate the media folks.

[cmay]

Great stuff, LM5! My inner geek is so grateful for your hard work! Did the crew actually sleep that well? Did they use sedatives to help rest?

[alanluscombea]

The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs are the coolest thing humans have ever done. Incredible. It would be so insane to walk on the moon

[joepoppy]

A donation is on the way to you sir. Again..I cannot thank you enough for all your work. Cheers and please use it as you see fit. Joseph F

How was the sequential color SSTV feed restored for this wonderful presentation? Is this a modern digital composite based on the monochrome R/G/B frames?

[vincef.]

This is great! WOW! We can all relive this wonderful historic event in human history!
I'm going to record every second of every minute of this voyage! IM recording using my stand alone DVD recorder. The recorder is set to the 6 hour mode for burning this audio to my DVDs. I'm taking the audio directly from my phone then into my recorder. My PC computer is broke so all I have is my phone with its charger plug in. If I had my PC or laptop working -I would have used a flash drive to download quicker than burn it to dvd.

Imagine what some invisible alien might think while looking in at 2:24:40 while the camera mount was being put in place. LoL

[rpm]

Was all this color TV footage done in standard NTSC?
