Typical Apollo Lunar Descent Trajectory Redesignation phase (146 sec typical length) (96 sec for Apollo 12, 6 redesignations) Apollo 12 Redesignation Phase (Human eyes as HDA sensor) Uprange from target [m] Altitude [m] Target view angle [deg] Time till touchdown [sec] Redesignation enabled 6800 1950 16 202 First redesignation 3800 800 12 172 Last redesignation 490 122 14 114 Redesignation disabled 470 115 106 Source: Klumpp, Allan. “Apollo Lunar-Descent Guidance”.

Review Inputs During Descent Designate a new landing aim point (via rotational hand controller) P65 Vehicle is pitched to the vertical position, translational velocities are nulled and the vertical-descent rate is set to 3 ft/sec P66 “Semi-auto mode” Crew controlled the attitude to maneuver the vehicle by commanding the nozzles in the form of an angular acceleration command signal Altitude and altitude rate were held constant by the computer, the crew could change these through the Rate of Descent switch P67 “Full manual mode” Crew controlled engine throttle manually Attitude was controlled by the Digital Autopilot This mode was rarely used because of the high workload required

Autonomy – The debate is not new
