Hello, just completed the docked DPS burn., a few questions...
I must have missed something when I set up the DAP? My first attempt didn't go well, and I noticed I had the DAP set to a LM-only 01002 for some reason. So, I had to re-do it with a LM/CSM config. What should the DAP be here?
Before the burn when I turn the Master Arm ON I get a 1210 alarm and a RESTART. This being Saturday, Steve Bales and Jack Garman had the day off, and I was stuck with the weekend crew. For lack of better guidance, we chose to say "we're GO" with the alarm, reset and pressed on with the burn. Seemed to work out ok, but not entirely clear what routines I'm running simultaneously.
After engine cut off, following the checklist I expected to see a F 16 85. Instead I was stuck with the F 06 40, followed by a F 99 40 as if the LGC wanted to do another burn? For lack of a better plan I just V37E00E'd out of it, but what am I doing wrong here?
Finally, throughout the simulation it's impossible for me to fully null the CSM/LM rates. I seem to get everything nulled, but then slowly the CSM/LM rates start to build up again. It doesn't look like I'm getting any thruster activity. Is this some effect of being in orbit as opposed to a trans-lunar coast? Will the CSM/LM ever reach some sort of equilibrium or just continue to slowly tumble?
Thanks
