fWotD Episode 2780: Apollo 12 Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 14 December 2024 is Apollo 12.Apollo 12 (November 14–24, 1969) was the sixth crewed flight in the United States Apollo program and the second to land on the Moon. It was launched on November 14, 1969, by NASA from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad and Lunar Module Pilot Alan L. Bean completed just over one day and seven hours of lunar surface activity while Command Module Pilot Richard F. Gordon remained in lunar orbit.Apollo 12 would have attempted the first lunar landing had Apollo 11 failed, but after the success of Neil Armstrong's mission, Apollo 12 was postponed by two months, and other Apollo missions also put on a more relaxed schedule. More time was allotted for geologic training in preparation for Apollo 12 than for Apollo 11, Conrad and Bean making several geology field trips in preparation for their mission. Apollo 12's spacecraft and launch vehicle were almost identical to Apollo 11's. One addition was hammocks to allow Conrad and Bean to rest more comfortably on the Moon.Shortly after being launched on a rainy day at Kennedy Space Center, Apollo 12 was twice struck by lightning, causing instrumentation problems but little damage. The crew found that switching to the auxiliary power supply resolved the data relay problem, which helped save the mission. The outward journey to the Moon otherwise saw few problems. On November 19, Conrad and Bean achieved a precise landing at their expected location within walking distance of the Surveyor 3 robotic probe, which had landed on April 20, 1967. In making a pinpoint landing, they showed that NASA could plan future missions in the expectation that astronauts could land close to sites of scientific interest. Conrad and Bean carried the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package, a group of nuclear-powered scientific instruments, as well as the first color television camera taken by an Apollo mission to the lunar surface, but transmission was lost after Bean accidentally pointed the camera at the Sun and its sensor was burned out. On the second of two moonwalks, they visited Surveyor 3 and removed parts for return to Earth.Lunar Module Intrepid lifted off from the Moon on November 20 and docked with the command module, which subsequently traveled back to Earth. The Apollo 12 mission ended on November 24 with a successful splashdown.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:07 UTC on Saturday, 14 December 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Apollo 12 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Gregory.

Retour sur la mission Apollo 12, qui a vu les astronautes américains Alan Bean et Pete Conrad devenir les premiers hommes à se promener librement à la surface de la Lune, quatre mois seulement après le célèbre premier pas de Neil Armstrong.Dans cet épisode passionnant, nous revivons les moments clés de cette nouvelle étape dans la conquête de l'espace. Après le succès historique de la mission Apollo 11, la NASA avait à cœur de poursuivre son programme ambitieux et d'envoyer de nouveaux équipages explorer notre satellite naturel.Le 19 novembre 1969, c'est donc une nouvelle équipe qui s'élance depuis Cap Kennedy en Floride à bord d'Apollo 12. À leur arrivée sur la Lune, les astronautes Alan Bean et Pete Conrad peuvent enfin quitter leur module lunaire et se promener librement à la surface, une première depuis les missions précédentes.

On The Space Show for Wednesday, 13 November 2024: Try SCE to Aux: Marking the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 12 mission, with a detailed account of the lightning strikes during ascent, and profiles of astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean. When Shirley Bassey met Apollo 12 astronaut Pete Conrad. The history of space tracking in Australia by space historian, Colin MacKellar.

The Team are taking a little break so here is a classic interview with Apollo astronaut Alan Bean.

We make up for last month's lack of a bonus episode - blame "life" - with a bumper episode all about Earth's favourite sidepiece: the moon! Ben takes Barry to Selene and back with a bit of blue, stories from Apollo 12 (the difficult second album) and why the Americans thought the Moon, if indeed made of cheese, could have benefitted from the addition of a bit of mushroom (cloud).

Dick Gordon opened the tunnel to Intrepid, saw his companions floating in a dirty cloud of moon dust, and slammed the hatch closed. He called out, “You guys ain't gonna mess up my nice clean spacecraft!” Homepage with pictures

Ten days ago, their Saturn V rocket had blasted Bean and his crew mates out of earth's gravitational pull. Now their home planet was pulling them back at more than 24,000 miles per hour, twelve times faster than a high-speed rifle bullet. “Boy,” said Bean, “we are really hauling!” Homepage with pictures

Back in 1969, Apollo 12 made its historic moon landing. But get this – 33 years later, a part of it mysteriously vanished! Turns out, astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad left behind a camera timer on the moon's surface. Fast forward to 2002, and a group of scientists using lunar satellite images found the thing! Talk about a blast from the past, right? So, for over three decades, that little piece of Apollo 12 was just chilling up there, waiting for its moment in the spotlight. Guess space really does have a knack for keeping secrets. #brightside Credit: Saturn V: Steve Jurvetson - https://flic.kr/p/5j1urX, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

After a total of 31.6 hours on the moon, the Lunar Module ascent stage fired for about 7 minutes placing Intrepid into an orbit of 10 miles by 54 miles. Homepage with pictures

Conrad and Bean now walked north, up Surveyor Crater's 14 degree slope. Fatigue set in as Pete and Al walked up the crater wall. The hand tool carrier was nearly full of rocks now and Bean felt the full weight of it. Homepage with pictures

The problem with running into the sun was it was so bright that Conrad and Bean could not see the moon's surface features until they were right on top of them. Homepage with Pictures

Surveyor 3 was now to their right, 300 feet away, gleaming in the morning sunlight. Antennas and sensors still reached upward from its tubular frame, just as they had on April 20, 1967, when the spacecraft thumped onto the moon amid blasts from its braking rockets. Homepage with pictures.

Pete and Al could not hear the excited shouts of the geologists in the back room down the hall from mission control, but they knew they had found something significant. Homepage with pictures

While Conrad led the way, Bean watched the ground for something interesting. It wasn't easy to do field geology while running, and on the moon. Homepage with pictures

According to the checklist, Bean was allowed 5 minutes to gain his balance and learn to walk on the Moon. Bean was amazed at his new buoyancy saying, “You can jump up in the air…”  But Conrad wanted to press on saying, “Hustle, boy, hustle! We've got a lot of work to do.” Homepage with Pictutures

Most of the remaining moon walk time was spent collecting rock samples, making surface observations such as the small mounds or hills, and taking pictures. Homepage with Pictures

This week we're replaying some of our favorite past episodes about Earth's number one satellite. In this episode from November 2019, we look at the Apollo 12 mission, the second time humans went to the moon and the first time we launched an artificial earthquake there. Plus: one of the two moonwalkers painted a picture that included their command module pilot on the lunar ground.  Crash Site Of The Apollo 12 Ascent Module Possibly Found After Almost 50 Years (Bad Astronomy)  Conrad, Gordon and Bean: The Fantasy (Art USA)  Help launch the next great podcast episode when you back Cool Weird Awesome on Patreon --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coolweirdawesome/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coolweirdawesome/support

At 83 hours mission elapsed time, the long lunar coast was almost over. It was time for the lunar orbit insertion burn. This burn would put Yankee Clipper and Intrepid into lunar orbit. Homepage with Pics  

There was adrenaline in Pete Conrad's voice as he counted down the last seconds before ignition. He and Bean were still weightless, but their bodies were secured to the cabin floor by harnesses. “Seven, six, five.”  Conrad pushed the PROCEED button on the computer, and a moment later Intrepid's  descent engine ignited 50,000 feet above the moon.

John Aaron's (EECOM) next call made him a legend in Mission Control. He said quickly and confidently, “Flight, try S-C-E to Aux.” Homepage with pics

It was impossible to check out the entire spacecraft; that could only be done on the ground. In the short time available, Griffin's team ran a pre-maneuver check list, re-aligned the CSM platform, and discussed proceeding with the mission with the crew. Homepage with Pics.

The Saturn V's control system was housed inside and also referred to as the Instrument Unit (IU). Marshall Space Flight Centers Astrionics Laboratory categorized the IU as the “brain” and “nerve center” of Saturn V. Homepage with Pics

It was 68 degrees, overcast, and raining at Cape Kennedy on November 14, 1969. The ceiling was 2,100 feet and the winds were light. There was some discussion, while the astronauts were suiting-up, of scrubbing the launch, but that would mean ramping this whole thing down, draining every drop of fuel out of the Saturn, and sitting on their hands for a twenty-eight-day hold.

The third man to walk on the moon, Charles Conrad Jr. was born on June 2, 1930, in Philadelphia, to Charles and Frances Conrad. He was their third child and their first son. Homepage with Pictures

Pete Conrad joined NASA as part of the second group of astronauts, known as the New Nine, on September 17, 1962. He was regarded as one of the best pilots in the group, and was among the first of his group to be assigned a Gemini mission.  

After graduating from the University of Washington, Gordon joined the US Navy, and after his first exposure to planes decided to become a pilot. Gordon said “Once I found what the airplane could do for me, or I could do for it, it was love at first sight.” Homepage with pictures.

After completing a four-year tour of duty, he attended the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. He trained under the direction of Pete Conrad, who would later become Commander of the Apollo 12 moon flight, and who would be instrumental in getting Bean assigned to that mission.

At NASA Headquarters, George Mueller and other planners created a far-reaching plan that Administrator Paine made even more ambitious in adapting it for Nixon's Space Task Group. The task group's timetable called for a twelve-man space station and a reusable space shuttle as early as 1975. By 1980, the station would have grown into a fifty-man space base; five years later there would be a hundred men in orbit. Meanwhile, there would be a base in lunar orbit by 1976, with a base on the lunar surface two years later. Then, as early as 1981, the first manned expedition to Mars would depart from earth orbit.

Apollo 12 was the sixth crewed flight in the United States Apollo program and the second to land on the Moon. It was launched on November 14, 1969. Apollo 12 launched on schedule from Kennedy Space Center, under completely overcast rainy skies, encountering wind speeds of 174.6 mph during ascent, the highest of any Apollo mission. Lightning struck the Saturn V rocket 36.5 seconds after lift-off, triggered by the vehicle itself, discharging down to the Earth through the ionized exhaust plume. Protective circuits detected overloads and took all three fuel cells offline, along with much of the command service module or CSM instrumentation. A second strike at 52 seconds knocked out more equipment. However, the Saturn V continued to fly normally; the strikes had not affected the guidance system, which functions independently from the CSM. The loss of all three fuel cells put the CSM entirely on batteries, which were unable to maintain normal 75-ampere launch loads on the 28-volt DC bus. These power supply problems lit nearly every warning light on the control panel and caused much of the instrumentation to malfunction. Electrical manager John Aaron remembered the telemetry failure pattern from an earlier test when a power supply malfunctioned in the CSM signal conditioning electronics which converted raw signals from instrumentation to standard voltages for the spacecraft instrument displays and telemetry encoders. Aaron made a call which switched the SCE to a backup power supply. The switch was fairly obscure, but Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean, flying in the right seat as the spacecraft systems engineer, remembered the SCE switch from a training incident a year earlier when the same failure had been simulated. Aaron's quick thinking and Bean's memory saved the mission. Bean put the fuel cells back on line, and with telemetry restored, the launch continued successfully. The lightning strikes had caused no serious permanent damage. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A Rare Reprieve for Texas Death Row Inmate Rodney Reed (0:33)Guest: Griffin Hardy, Communications Manager for Sister Helen Prejean's Ministry Against the Death PenaltyRodney Reed had been scheduled for execution in Texas this week for the rape and murder of a Texas woman in 1996. But a nationwide campaign to save Reed's life, that included Republican politicians and celebrities Kim Kardashian West and Rihanna, succeeded. On Friday night, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals suspended Reed's death sentence indefinitely and ordered the court that originally tried Reed to consider new evidence in the case. This kind of last-minute reprieve is very unusual in Texas, which leads the nation in executions. Ancient Origins of Modern Board Games (16:22)Guest: Cameron Browne, Associate Professor of Computer Science, Maastricht UniversitySome of my favorite childhood memories are of playing a new board games as a family. My brother-in-law ran a board game rating website, so we tested lots of them. But long before you could look up a game online and see how many stars it got, people passed down games orally or wrote instructions that have long since been lost. In fact, the rules for some of your favorite games may date back centuries. 50th Anniversary of Apollo 12 (32:11)Guest: Mike Joner, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Brigham Young UniversityYou couldn't miss the 50thanniversary celebrations of Apollo 11 over the summer. Everybody knows Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first to walk on the moon. You ever heard of Pete Conrad and Alan Bean? They landed on the moon just four months later. At this very moment 50 years ago, the crew of Apollo 12 was about to touch down on the lunar surface. So, we're going to pay a little tribute to the men who were 3rdand 4thon the moon.  The DC Sniper and Questions of Youth in the Justice System (51:10)Guest: Marsha Levick, Chief Counsel and Founder of Juvenile Law CenterWhen a teenager commits murder, should he face the death penalty? Not according to the US Supreme Court, which, a decade ago, abolished the death penalty for offenders under 18. So, what should happen to that teenager? Is life in prison without the chance of a parole a reasonable sentence? Over the last several years the US Supreme Court has been steadily restricting that sentence for juvenile offenders, too. The latest case to come before the justices involves a particularly high-profile inmate –Lee Boyd Malvo, better known as one of the DC snipers who killed 10 people in a shooting spree back in 2002. Malvo was 17 at the time.   The FIDO Project Gives Dogs A Voice (1:10:08)Guest: Melody Jackson, Director, Center for BioInterface Research and Professor at Georgia Tech's College of ComputingIf you've never dreamed of talking to your dog, you're probably lying to yourself. Now, new technology is making that dream a reality. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are creating new tech that allows dogs to contact humans in case of emergencies their owners face (such as with a chronic illness, an injury, or even an allergic reaction) and speak in ways we can actually understand. For example, a new dog vest is one of several emerging technologies that is programmed with a few phrases that the dog initiates with a tap of their nose. "My owner needs your attention!” and “Please follow me!” are the working messages currently. However the project is still underway and they are excited to continue improving fido's speech. A New Antiviral for Herpes Virus (1:22:49)Guest: Alonzo Cook, PhD, Professor of Chemical Engineering, BYU; Rex Cates, PhD, Retired Professor of Biology, BYU; Mike Alder, BYU Technology Transfer OfficeTwo-thirds of all the people on the planet are infected by the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 –that's the one that causes periodic outbreaks of cold sores. It's incredibly common and, as yet, without a cure or a vaccine. BYU researchers are developing a treatment that comes from a tropical succulent.
