  • Apollo 12 was the second manned Moon landing attempt which launched on November 14, 1969. The launch was notable due to the vehicle getting struck by lightning twice during ascent, leading to the now famous "Try SCE to AUX" call from EECOM John Aaron.
    As Pete Conrad would comment, they needed to "do a little more all-weather testing".

    They got hit by lightning, had enough warning lights on that the instrument panel looked like some kind of Christmas decoration, lost pretty much everything that would have let the crew know what was going on, and yet didn’t abort and went on to land on the Moon. I get the feeling such an event nowadays probably wouldn’t end the same way. Great animation, dude!

    I’ve watched the footage from that day on RUclips.
    They said that the lighting bolt went from the rocket went down the trail left behind by the engines and hit the tower twice.
    I can’t imagine how that must have looked. It must have been terrifying to the astronauts. Truly amazing they kept their composures during it. I would be scared to death knowing that you lost almost all your important instruments to the rocket.

    SCE to Auto didn't actually fix a great deal of their many problems. It just fixed the telemetry to ground control which was unhelpful garbage data after the lightning strike. All the stuff that needed to be reset and restarted was done afterwards. Big balls to decide to press on to the moon. 🙂

      Te comprendo yo hacia lo mismo. Yo simulaba una misión lunar y preparaba con mapas zonas de alunizaje, recorridos y me inventaba mis propios instrumentos científicos, de echo hice un diario con cada uno de los vuelos e hice participar amigos (11) del barrio y forme varias tripulaciones de misiones que yo les puse Apolo A, hubo 6 desde Apolo A1 a Apolo A6. Fueron desde Junio 1983 a Enero 1985, mis amigos a veces me miraban con curiosidad, llamadme raro pero para mi el programa Apolo me inspiro. Hoy guardo como el oro esos apuntes llenos de datos y los veo con nostalgia. Las 3 primeras misiones llevaban una especie de vehículo presurizado para recorrer largas distancias y las otras tres llevaban el Rover lunar sin presurizar. Si en aquellos años hubiera tenido la información de hoy en día lo habría echo mejor. Lo bueno de youtube es que veo que hay mucha gente que le gustan estos temas. Saludos desde Badajoz.

    Alan Bean who was a late addition to the crew as CMP was the only one of the three astronauts who new where the SCE switch was. He remebered it in some weird little scenario during a training session by himself when the other two astronauts were doing LEM training. He saved the mission.

    • @realspacemodels

      Bean did know that the switch was on his side of the panel, but it was EECOM Controller John Aaron who told CAPCOM to relay the switch throw to the crew. It was Aaron who had seen the glitch in training about a year before. It just shows that space missions are a real team effort

    There is an interesting back story to the SCR to aux. John Aaron wrote a sub-routine to override the onboard computer boot time. It allowed programmers to make changes to programing without having to boot the entire system. That is why the astronauts questioned the command "what the hell is that?" It allowed the computer to reboot a faster and actually saved the mission.

    The only thing wrong that I can see is the gimbal indicator going crazy. The rocket itself never deviated from it's launch trajectory. It was only an electrical failure. That gimbal craziness should be from the Apollo 13 mission after the explosion.

    • @CbassProductions
      @CbassProductions  2 месяца назад +2

      During Apollo 12 the FDAI (Flight Director/Attitude Indicator) did in fact start spinning wildly. At the same time the ISS warning light came on (the red one on the lower left of the warning panel), which indicates a failure in the inertial measurement unit. Conrad knew he wasn’t spinning and was getting garbage data from the guidance platform to that indicator and reported “I just lost the platform”. The backup 8-ball, known as Gyro Display Coupler (GDC) pulled its data from different systems and continued to function and provided accurate data for the entire launch (“All I got’s the GDC”). Later in the audio recording the astronauts discussed whether they should lock up the FDAI to keep it from spinning before they could reset everything.
