Apollo 12 - SCE to AUX (Full Mission 01)

Ғылым және технология

Apollo 12 Full Mission 01 (SCE to AUX)
The Apollo 12 full mission begins with the countdown and eventual launch on November 14th 1969 on the second lunar landing mission. Onboard are astronauts Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon and Alan Bean.
This video covers the last 3 hours _ of the countdown through to launch and orbit. The launch is infamous as the one that was struck by lightning, which caused electrical issues in the spacecraft but not to the Saturn V.
Audio used is the PAO countdown and at about the 1 min 30 seconds point the audio used is the PAO and the Flight Directors loop in separate channels. That loop includes John Aaron's call of "SCE to AUX".
Photos from the pre mission training and video are used to depict events as they happened approximately synched to the actual events. Orbiter Space Simulator AMSO is used for the simulated sequences where original footage is not available.
My thanks to Project Apollo on Facebook for support and providing photos for this series.
All photos, video and audio is courtesy NASA.

There's so much going through their minds: make sure that not only the spacecraft are done, but make sure the astronauts are mentally prepared to operate it. Whenever I forget it, something comes up to remind me. Thank you for putting this up!

    48 years ago this past morning. Love hearing Jack King as Apollo/Saturn launch control. This is a boyhood memory. I was 11 at the time and didn't understand how severe the problem might have been. I always remember the last 20 seconds of every countdown and King's 'lift off we have a lift off." The 'launch vehicle' always makes me smile too. It's a big rocket. I remember the HBO shows 'From the Earth to the Moon' and Al Bean saying 'I know where that is." It just shows how cool under pressure these guys were. Just wish we could have had the full moon walk on tv.

    Love hearing these flight loops. I especially appreciate the professionalism of the spokesmen of NASA's Public Affairs Office. This is so missing from today's YT channels that present SpaceX launches. On most of those channels, you get what in effect are teenagers in their parents basement attitude instead of true professionalism. I'm not demeaning their knowledge, only their presentation. I like hearing calm, non-emotional presentations like you have with the old NASA PAO. Thanks so much for posting.

    1:16:27 is when the results of the lightning strike are reported. 1:16:50 is when John Aaron speaks up and declares shortly after, "Try SCE to AUX" Btw I'm lucky my phone has stereo speakers, so I heard everything clearly even with two separate channels of audio. If anyone is having any problems, plug in your headphones to hear this. Fantastic video, thank you for putting this together!

    I was there and sitting behind and to the right of Nixon. Let me tell you, it was wet. Soaked right through my raincoat. The sound was amazing, and clearing the pad was great, but right into the clouds. Saw the lightning hit the pad, and that was it! Also saw Apollo 15 from slightly closer-perfectly clear day. Felt the air hit my skin from the sound of the S-IC's 5 engines, and saw the stack way into the flight.

    I was fortunate enough to have lunch in 2017 with Lead Flight Director for Apollo 12, Gerry Griffin. Another Flight Director at our table, Milt Heflin, asked Gerry, "You know, I never asked you just how close you came to calling an abort on Apollo 12. How close did you come?" Gerry held up his right hand and separated his thumb from his forefinger by a fraction of an inch. "That close," he answered.

    I help my aging father so he can watch all the sports stuff he likes on the Internet and the other day he called me up and said his usual thing wasn't working. I said "Have you tried to switching SCE to Auxiliary?" and he said "What the hell is that?" I doubt my Dad even knows who Pete Conrad is but it sure did make me laugh.

    YESSS! Apollo 12 as a Full Mission, great news! Apollo 12 is one of my favorite missions. Not only because of the SCE to AUX thing, but also since the astronauts were much more talkative than any of the other crews. For me, it was somewhat a disappointment. I had been in the holdidays with my parents during the Apollo 11 mission and we were in a valley in Austria shielded off by mountains from any TV reception. In fact, I learned of the landing from some hikers. So Apollo 12 was my personal first lunar landing and EVA to watch live on TV. It was in fact on a public holiday - no school for me. Imagine my disappointment when the TV camera was jammed. Btw German TV had no plan B in case the TV from the moon would fail, they simply shut down the whole TV program for several hours.

    LM5 - you delivered again! Fantastic video, I cannot even imagine how much time and effort it took to pull it all together (as in all of your videos). Found just one tiny glitch - PAO/Flight channels at the end are in reverse order - PAO in the left channel, Flight in the right. Not that it could detract from the experience. Thanks a lot, LM5, now off to watch TLI part!

    I recall after the successful return of the mission word got out that NASA had been concerned about what the lightening strikes may have done to the pyrotechnics in the recovery system. Someone logically concluded that if they were going to fail they may as well go ahead and proceed to the Moon as the end result would be the same as an abort from Earth orbit. They also elected to not inform the crew as it was also pointless. Ah, gotta love those engineers. Thank you for sharing this.

    As a computer technician, I love telling this tale when someone asks me if I’m done after only 5 minutes of troubleshooting their idiocy. There was a nuclear power plant that regularly performed safety drills and the policy manual was to be treated as though it was the Bible because it dictated how to respond to emergencies. But there was an employee that never showed up for work yet made more money than anyone else except the top administrators, which angered many technicians that were on-site daily. One day all hell breaks loose, alarms go off, the reactor runs away out of control, and none of the steps in the manual help. When they get to the last page it says “When all else fails, call this number.” So they call it, and it’s the well-paid guy that never comes to work. He shows up, ignores their dubious looks while inspecting all of the alarms going off, and presses 1 button. Immediately the alarms shut off, temperatures and pressures return to normal, and everything is operating in the green. He begins walking out when someone blurts out “they pay you all that money just to press one stupid button???” He stops and says to the guy “They pay me to know which button to press.” Only one guy thought to press the ACE TO AUX button on this mission, and only one guy knew where that button even was.

    If the Apollo 12 crew had to be removed from the spacecraft due to lightning, it would have resulted in a launch scrub due to weather. The scrub would have resulted in the crew waiting another month due to the fact that they were going to land as close as possible to Surveyor 3.
