The other two flight directors for the mission, Gerald Griffin
and Milton Windler and their teams of flight controllers will get
into the act in the weeks that follow with at least four 8 to 10-hour
simulation sessions scheduled each week.
During the early simulations the Apollo 15 crewmen will substitute
for the usual math model type simulations and get in a little advance
training in the Houston simulators. Dave Scott's Apollo 15 crew is
scheduled to take part in five simulations the first three weeks
of MCC
simulations.
Simulations the first three weeks with the command module and
lunar module trainers at Hovston and KSC include LM activation
and descent, launch_ LM ascent, LM descent, lunar orbit insertion/descent
orbit inserZion, tras_slunar insertion and translunar coast. The first
sim with Shepard's Apollo 1[ crew in the KSC simulators is scheduled
for October 22.
Other simulation sessions scheduled later will include lunar
surface exercises by the crew, extravehicular (EVA) sims at Flagstaff_
Arizona, reentry, lunar orbit insertion aborts, transearth insertion,
lunar photo sims, and some sims open for crew option in selection
of the subject.
The flight controller 'seams will also take part in the countdown
demonstration tests scheduled for late January or about 10 days before
the terminal count is started for the January 31 launch.
