![]() "LaDonna Wyss" wrote "JimO" wrote G. Back to the issue of the RCS jets on the Service Module. Several respondents here have also suggested, as I did, that this test procedure was a checkout of the firing commands, but not a 'hot-fire' of the thrusters. I do not consider "Scott said" to constitute verifiable documentation that any of the thrusters actually hot-fired. OK--first of all, I never said "Scott said" to anything, so right there your ability to engage in an intelligent debate is severely hindered. Not once in the 3,000 posts (yes, I'm exaggerating, but it sure looks like 3,000) on this site have I ever been quoted as saying, nor have I ever actually said, "Well, Scott said this" or "Scott said that." NOT ONCE. JimO contributes new comment: Funny, I recall this message from two days ago, ---begin quote--- From: "LaDonna Wyss" Subject: The RCS: Voice Transcript Date: Friday, June 11, 2004 10:49 AM "LaDonna Wyss" wrote Like I said, get your facts straight. They DID conduct Static Fire; otherwise, what was the point of the test???? "JimO" wrote Sounds like a test of the RCS commands, probably read by GNC in the MCC (I could ask him). Since I don't think hypergolics were loaded, no jet would actually fire. Maybe? As Scott said, it is documented by IDR that a + roll thruster fired without being commanded by the crew, and in fact that thruster fired three times without being commanded by the crew. ---end quote--- JimO resumes the narrative: We would still like any documentation that can be checked, that shows that any Apollo RCS actually ignited that day. |
