Oh man... awesome graphics! Was able to google all the acronyms and gauges on the mesa and the rover. Amazed at how they navigated up there. Such great videos...🥇
Incredible, historical film about lunar exploration with a good soundtrack that really clarified the following points: - Positioning of the antenna when landing. - The original voice of the astronaltas demonstrating tranquility. - The shape of the lunar module's astronauts. - Details of the equipment brought to the rover. - Way to descend the stairs of the lunar module. - The departure of the second astronaut. - The decoupling of the rover (I had never seen it before). - The detailed assembly of the rover. - I've always had this curiosity. Like how something so small became something big (rover) that was a very useful tool in lunar exploration. - The chairs seemed comfortable. - Opportunity to see the different systems and tools that the rover carried (there were more than I imagined) - And at the finale, the installation of the high-gain antenna, which was probably for communication with the orbiter module in case of loss of communication with the lunar module. Thank you very much for the video.
Thanks for your comment and for watching. They had to modify the space suits for the J series missions in order for them to be able to sit in the chairs. The high gain antenna on the rover was pointed at earth using the telescope looking pointing device on the high gain ant. The pointy antenna on top of the spacecraft is the EVA antenna. The EVA ant picks transmits and receives to the backpack ants. And relays out the SBand on the side of the LM. The LM center dish is the rendezvous radar.
Oh my goodness! I am totally blown away by the level of detail in this video. Your videos have taught me new things about project Apollo. Lovely work. How many manhours are consumed researching and making these videos.? Are you a one-man production house, or do you have a team of people for this project? Outstanding work! I see you have lifted the bar from the Apollo 11 videos and now include Astronauts. You still need to perfect how they walk though! They do it Aussie style on the Moon, with a Kangaroo hop action! 🙂 I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to viewing all your content.
Thanks! It does take quite some time looking through sources. I am just one person who puts the whole thing together. My weak point in Blender is making and animating people. I have several A15 videos that you can see from this playlist (3 videos): ruclips.net/p/PL4sc_p8bFo8avcQ7bp-FcyrNW-4WnmGmG And my Skylab Playlist here (14 videos): ruclips.net/video/pUX8JobeZk0/видео.html
I verified that you have knowledge in the field of combat aviation, which area I share a lot of enthusiasm for. Near the end of the excellent film "The Final Countdown" (1980) the nose of the F 14 is seen moving downwards before being catapulted. It appears that the F 14's suspension lowers significantly before taking off from the carrier. Could you explain why this movement happens in F14? Could you solve this doubt? - I understand if you can't answer. Thank you for your attention, thanks in advance.
The F14 was my main aircraft. I have flight time in all fielded variants plus one that was unique for flight test. Most of my time is in the A model. When getting ready to connect to the catapult shuttle, you lower the launch bar which is part of the nose gear. The launch bar pivots towards the ground and the nose automatically compresses as part of the process to get the launch bar all the way to the ground. A side benefit designed into the system was that when released from the shuttle at the end of the catapult stroke, the stored energy in the compressed strut was released pushing to nose up into the proper attitude.
@@opieswenson Thank you for resolving this doubt that has haunted me for years. Wow, all the F14 variants including an experimental one. Congratulations on using the significant F14. Because of the excellent films it is believed to be the most powerful plane ever built. If I may, another question. In the films, a small, thin rope (usually white) is visible on the outside and in front to be visible to the pilot, and this rope swings because of the wind. If this string really exists, what is it for? And when you were flying supersonic, did this little color help?
@@rsmrsm2000 that is the yaw string. The string is always aligned with the local airflow. Gives you an indication on whether the nose is slicing left or right. I think but not sure that the F14 was the only fighter with this. All (most?) gliders have them.
Watching the video, several points become clearer (in general): The rover's components had to be reliable (wheels, battery, navigation, etc...), the lives of the occupants depended on it. Any problem with the rover could be fatal, as depending on the distance, astronauts would not be able to walk back to the module. Another fact, despite increasing project costs, in critical missions, at the time, NASA tried not to leave the rover alone, this also occurred in the rover by making 2 seats available.
Reliability and safety were huge. The 2 seats were not for reliability….it was needed to transport both astronauts miles away from the LM. But they never traveled more than their air supply for a walk back. Each wheel had its own electric motor. And all wheels steered. One thing I did not show was that on EVA 1, the front steering did not work. But the issue was resolved for EVA 2 and 3. For navigation, they had 3 forms: 1. the rover had a gyro that was aligned on start up and kept track of their pointing angles. Distance was tracked like an odometer on current cars. 2. At the top of the instrument panel is an angle gauge with a fold up triangular shaped panel (in this video it is folded down) that folds out to hold a pointer the size of a pencil. The pointer casts a shadow on the angle gauge. It is essentially a sundial. 3. They could always follow their tracks back.
@@opieswenson Incredible. The courage of the astronauts, the pioneering spirit and engineering of the time can easily surpass those of today. Another: even in low gravity, videos from the time show the need for a large amount of energy to move the rover to overcome obstacles. Therefore, in my opinion, proportionally the battery pack should be large. Would you know more about the battery pack? Was it possible to recharge them?
@@rsmrsm2000 they were not recharged. But the batteries for the LRCU (gold box placed on front bumper with carry handle) were replaced between EVAs. The batteries for the 4 wheel motors and steering were the 2 large silver foiled boxes closest to the front bumper. The smaller box in between was the signal processing unit. And the 2 boxes in the next row were the directional gyro and the drive/steering control unit.

Thanks for watching another video! I have part 3 in work. Should be out in a week. Please check out my Skylab series if you haven’t yet.
Incredible !
Please more videos.
Still working Part 3.

The Rover deployment sequence was very well done! It was complicated enough in real life, but rendering and animating it had to be really difficult.
Thanks for watching this one too. I spent lot of time looking at manuals and pictures of rover fit checks.
Must have been a very special feeling to be the first man driving a vehicle on the moon 😊
Probably pretty cool...and they got about 3 miles or so away from the LM.
Very nice!
Thanks!
