Orbiter Spaceport

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.

I did a series of add-ons that depict the planned Skylab B international space station, a follow up to the historical US Skylab program. In reality the Skylab B hardware exists and is on museum display. It was identical to the flown Skylab, since it was its flight spare. For this add-on, an alternate reality is considered, based in several proposals by NASA made in the 1970's. The main changes are the lack of the Solar Observatory, the additional docking ports for Soviet spacecraft, and the alternate solar panel positions. This configuration would allow the station to accommodate extended docking or servicing by Apollo, Soyuz, Progress, Salyut and eventually the Space Shuttle. Besides the Skylab B station, the addon also has a AMU "jetpack", a LEM derived Apollo Telescope Mount, a Resupply Module, EVAs and custom cargo, and even a Skylab-Soyuz mission scenario!

I'm modeling a simple retro styled cockpit for the Lunar Excursion Module. It's based on Gemini technology, with some allowances for Orbiter's MFDs. It's not historical or based on any actual proposal. The pilot will have the two MFD screens in the panel immediately in front of him, and some (I hope) working indicators on the middle panel (fuel, thrust, altitude, speed, ADI ball, etc). On the right side I'll simply put some switches and generic indicators, just for show.

Trying to learn Blender by modeling the early concept for the LEM. Work in progress, but will eventually make it's way into Orbiter Here's an interactive 3D preview:
