Space Travel is a spaceflight simulation video game, presented in a two-dimensional top-down view, with monochrome graphics consisting of white lines on a black background. In it, the player controls a spaceship as it flies through a representation of the Solar System. The game has no specific objectives, other than to attempt to land on the ...
The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle lifts off with astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. at 9:32 am. EDT July 16, 1969, from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A. An estimated one million spectators watched the launch of Apollo 11 from the highways and beaches in the vicinity of the launch site.
[11] [12] [13] The mission took off from Space Florida's Launch and Landing Facility, previously known as NASA’s Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, echoing the historic launch site of Apollo 11 half a century earlier. [14] [15] The One More Orbit flight commenced precisely at 09:32 EDT, mirroring the exact launch time of Apollo 11.
In gravitationally bound systems, the orbital speed of an astronomical body or object (e.g. planet, moon, artificial satellite, spacecraft, or star) is the speed at which it orbits around either the barycenter (the combined center of mass) or, if one body is much more massive than the other bodies of the system combined, its speed relative to the center of mass of the most massive body.
Flight path of the Apollo 11 human lunar landing mission, July 1969. Spacecraft flight dynamics is the application of mechanical dynamics to model how the external forces acting on a space vehicle or spacecraft determine its flight path.
Lunar Lander is a genre of video games loosely based on the 1969 landing of the Apollo Lunar Module on the Moon.In Lunar Lander games, players control a spacecraft as it falls toward the surface of the Moon or other astronomical body, using thrusters to slow the ship's descent and control its horizontal motion to reach a safe landing area.
