Good morning,
Running the Apollo 8 mission. I'm following the PAMFD checklist, I don't have many documents specific to this flight.
I just (attempted) to perform the CSM/LV separation. When I turned the THC counterclockwise, I got separation, but the SM RCS started firing continuously, and the CSM maneuvered pretty wildly.
After some troubleshooting, I think my issue is that the two RCS LOGIC c/bs on panel 8 are in? I looked at the Apollo 15 Launch Checklist and the CSM Separation Prep procedure has us open both breakers. I ran the CSM/LM with the breakers open, and everything proceeds smoothly.
I've looked through the PAMFD checklists, and I can't see where we're supposed to open these breakers. They're closed before liftoff, and I can't find any mention of them after that. It's bugging me I can't find it. (I'm using NASSP v1998)
Where am I missing this? Thanks.
EDIT: After the separation the PAMFD checklist does have us open the RCS LOGIC c/bs. But that seems too late?
Also, PAMFD checklist has no mention of latching the FC REACS VALVES.
