Apollo 9 Earth EVA footage


The Apollo 9 mission tested the Apollo CMS and LEM in Earth orbit.
It included a EVA where Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart was using an handheld camera at the LM forward hatch and Command Module Pilot David Scott had a camera fixed to the CM side hatch.

Here I took footage from both cameras and synchronized it with real time audio.

Image processing:

  • Frame rate corrected and motion interpolated from 6fps to 24fps. 
  • Motion stabilization performed on the handheld camera footage.
  • Fish-eye lens corrected on the fixed camera

The end result is a cleared view of the EVA highlights.

I created one version with footage from both cameras side-by-side, and another with a normal edit.

Orion cockpit layout

In preparation for my Constellation program add-on, I collected some images about Orion's cockpit panel layout. These are quite interesting and you can see how it is evolving. 2012 (NASA Systems Engineering Simulator) 2014  layout I assembled this view  from a NASA video showing most parts of the panel and LCD displays. Resolution is good enough to read most of the labels. 2014 Mockup 2015 Mockup The 2015 mockup shows some diferences from the 2014 version. The design seems less monotonous and with a few less flip switches. Image sources: NASA

Hermes space shuttle interior, cockpit and instrument panel resources

The ESA Hermes space shuttle project ran from 1975 to 1992, after an original proposal from the French CNES (National Space Studies Center). The spacecraft was intended to serve two proposed  European  space stations:  the Man Tended Free-Flyer / Columbus Space Station and the Polar Platform. Before cancellation, some mock-ups and trainers were built.   Because the project was developed in the 1980's there aren't many reference photos on the web.  I'm taking the liberty of posting the all the images I could find on the web  of the Hermes interior, cockpit and instrument panels. This way they are grouped all  together in a single place for the convenience, so that the general layout can be understood and the different mock-ups / simulator versions can be sorted out.  Hermes shuttle flight simulator Hermes shuttle simulator Hermes shuttle misc mock-ups Hermes shuttle mock-up version "a" ...

Vostok panels

I've more or less completed the Vostok panels. The main panel is reasonably accurate, but the side panel is still very rough. Without better reference images it will be hard to do.
