Apollo 15 Transposition and Docking

Soon after the Translunar injection burn. The Apollo 15 crew captured this great photo of the Lunar Module housed inside the S-IVB stage as they prepare to dock and then pull it free.

Sad news. Jerry Bostick, one of the greats of Apollo-era Mission Control has passed away. He was enormously helpful to our Mission Control film. A warm and generous soul and a great American. Love and blessings to his family and friends.

Apollo 17 = 17 trips to the Moon!
Have these morons ever read a book or conducted a tiny bit of research.

@RobertPearlman Utter madness! Leave well alone.

Have you heard the news that Texas' senators want to chop up NASA's retired space shuttle Discovery in order to move it from the Smithsonian to Houston? The lawmakers in question have, and are now crying foul to the Justice Department.

A prototype of Skylab's ATM, the Thermal Systems Unit (ATM TSU), was flown from MSFC to MSC OTD in 1971. A programme of 14 tests, in MSC's Building 32 Space Environment Simulation Laboratory, through December, verified the thermal design before building the flight unit.

The opening day of Apollo Remastered — ‘Gemini and Mercury’ exhibition at the Jodrell Bank whose radio telescope famously tracked Apollo 11 all the way to the Moon! Stunning work by the very talented @AndySaunders_1 If you get the chance I recommend you go and check it out.

TODAY! 🚀In 1971, Apollo 15 landed in the most spectacular location.
Incredibly, from lunar orbit, Al Worden captured the rover and LM on the lunar surface, in which his crewmates were sleeping.
Now enhanced, it gives us a great perspective of the Hadley-Apennine landing site:
