Hi,
I started from the “Apollo 10 - 14 - Before CSI TIG-6min” scenario to practice again the rendezvous…I managed the CSI, CDH, TPI and I am on my way to the 1st MCC with P35, but I always get the 1706 alarm … as apparently I am always too late to call up P41.
But something is not clear:
the TIP TIG was at 105:17:37, so the MCC-1 should be 15 min later, at 105:32:37.
At 105:22:14 I started P35…and when the V16 45 display appeared, at 105:22:51 R2 was showing +05:14 … so I guess I was +5:14 from TIP TIG (105:17:37 + 05:14 = 105:22:51) and I got only 1 marks (photo 1).
The checklist asked to “Load LM and CSM weights” … but how am I suppose to know/get them? So I just hit PRO and carried on…
At 105:24:36 in R2 I got +06:59 -> still confirming the TPI TIG was at 105:17:37 (+ 06:59 = 105:24:36)
I waited up to TPI+8m with 5 marks at that time, and than I proceed without waiting for TPI+12min to get the F 06 81, and F 06 59, and F 16 45 … and here I now saw that in R2 there were a countdown at -00:38, and I was at GET = 105:29:03 (see photo 3) or TPI + 11:37 .. almost 3 min before the TPI+15min … but instead it seems I was too late, as once entered P41 I got the 01703 alarm “TIG Slipped”….
So the MCC 1 is not always at +15min ??? can happens earlier?
Did I make wrong to don’t wait up to TPI+12min to move on?
Can I skip MCC-1 if not on time, like here, and just do MCC-2 later on (with more DV)? Or doing so I will have no chance to dock during the TPF ?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
