Apollo 7 slow-scan TV, transmitted by the RCA command module TV camera. NASA decided on initial specifications for TV on the Apollo command module (CM) in 1962. [2] [ Note 1] Both analog and digital transmission techniques were studied, but the early digital systems still used more bandwidth than an analog approach: 20 MHz for the digital system, compared to 500 kHz for the analog system.

Astronauts manually flew Project Gemini with control sticks, but computers flew most of Project Apollo except briefly during lunar landings. [6] Each Moon flight carried two AGCs, one each in the command module and the Apollo Lunar Module, with the exception of Apollo 7 which was an Earth orbit mission and Apollo 8 which did not need a lunar module for its lunar orbit mission.
The article needs some details on the camera used the camera used on Apollo 7, Apollo 11 LM, and perhaps other missions. I don't know enough about it, but it was black and white, 10 frames per second, Slow-Scan TV, low resolution. Bubba73, 02:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Scratch that - someone had deleted it. I added it back.

Frame rate, most commonly expressed in frame/s, frames per second or FPS, is typically the frequency (rate) at which consecutive images are captured or displayed. This definition applies to film and video cameras , computer animation , and motion capture systems.
The TV is natively only capable of displaying 120 frames per second, and basic motion interpolation which inserts between 1 and 4 new frames between existing ones. Typically the only difference from a "120 Hz" TV in this case is the addition of a strobing backlight , which flickers on and off at 240 Hz, once after every 120 Hz frame.
English: Video of the Apollo 11 launch, taken from the base of the Launch Umbilical Tower on the Mobile Launcher. Camera E-8 captured this footage on 16 mm film at 500 frames per second. This footage takes place within approximately 30 seconds of real time.
