The engineering challenge was to set the spacecraft down safe ly within easy walking distance of the Surveyor 3 landing site. “Hard” doesn’t even begin to describe the challenge. Limited fuel\, no ground based instrument landing system (ILS) and no GPS.\n\nLocation\, Date and T ime: The presentation will be at Old Chicago Restaurant on the northwest c orner of Austin Bluffs Parkway and Academy Boulevard located on the east s ide of Colorado Springs on October 4th. There will be a “Meet and Greet ” social time starting at 5:30 PM and ending at 6:00 PM. The presentatio n and dinner will start at 6:00 PM and end at 7:30 PM. Dinner is free to a ll attendees and includes a pizza buffet and non-alcoholic beverages.\n\nP resentation Details:Apollo 12 was the second manned landing on the Moon on November 19\, 1969. The challenge was to land within easy walking crew di stance of a designated point on the Moon (Surveyor 3 landing site)\, not j ust land safely as with Apollo 11. Matt Grogan will discuss the special gr ound and crew navigation techniques used and the S/W feature installed on the Apollo 12 Lunar Excursion Module (Intrepid) that enabled this feat for Apollo 12 and all the subsequent Apollo pin-point landings. He will cover the lunar gravitational phenomenon that made this feat a challenge and ho w this feature was discovered on the Lunar Orbiter missions in 1966-1967. He will show a short video clip of the Apollo 12 LEM landing taken through the right window of the LEM (available on You Tube)\, including the audio of the crew interchanges during the final landing phases until touchdown on the Moon. The presentation will include some of Matt's personal experie nces as a member of the Lunar Orbiter and Apollo 8-15 navigation support t eams and will include items of technical and general interest.\n\nhttps:// youtu.be/kFSa6vUix70 Apollo 12 landing from PDI to Touchdown (14m 21s)\n\n https://youtu.be/EdPRbbfc7ic Apollo 12: Pinpoint for Science 1970 NASA< Se cond Moon Landing\, Pete Conrad (28m 30s)\n\nRegistration: Registration is easy but you must register by the end of day (EOD) October 1st so we know how much pizza to order!
