Malfunction of Television Camera Monitor on Command Module

The command module television camera monitor exhibited loss of horizontal synchronization during the initial usage. This condition cleared and performance of the monitor was normal until the press conference telecast during the transearth coast phase. At that time, the monitor had the same horizontal synchronization problem reported during the initial usage. The horizontal hold control adjustment would not correct the condition. The monitor was turned off for approximately 5 minutes, then turned back on, after which the monitor's picture was normal. The loss of horizontal synchronization was most likely caused by either an intermittent condition in the precision voltage regulator circuit assembly in the low voltage power supply, or the shift of the stable range of the horizontal potentiometer setting when warming up after turn-on.

Low Speed Dynamic Model Investigation of Apollo Command Module Configuration in the Langley Spin Tunnel

An investigation has been conducted in the Langley spin tunnel to determine the dynamic stability of the Apollo command module at low subsonic speeds, both with and without drogue parachutes. The investigation consisted of tests to determine (1) the dynamic stability of the command module alone, (2) the motion of the command module during the deployment of a drogue parachute, (3) the effect of various drogue-parachute configurations on the stability of the command module, and (4) the effect of modifications to the command module to prevent an apex-forward trim condition.
