OHM UN Moon Mission 1967

[OrbitHangar]

Author: thatsnomoon96

In 1967 the USSR and the USA find an accord proposed by the United Nations in which they state and agree to organize a coalition to send manned crews to the moon.The craft would consist of a Soyuz TM craft, an Apollo CSM and the LEM and at last a central module named 'Union' made by the Russians. The engine of the CSM would be used for the orbit and orbit eject maneuvers, the Soyuz engine would only be used for minor course corrections. The crews would reenter with their respective module.
 A total of 6 people would go to the moon for one mission, 3 from Russia and 3 from USA. Only four of them would go to the surface in the modified LEM two pilots in the front as in the conventional Apollo Program and two other crew members behind them, all standing of course. On the landing site, a small Russian rover would have carried O2 tanks to the moon a few weeks prior to the arriaval of the mission.
 Power on the small station would be provided by solar arrays on the main module Unity. As for the first step, a rug would be placed on the surface at the bottom of the ladder, the astronouts would all stand on it in a line and step on the surface simultaneously.

ATTENTION ! : this is a fictionnal scenario only for Orbiter 2010 P1 !

Quick question. How is the default Apollo CSM have enough fuel to get the stack from Earth to the Moon and back?

There isn't.

 

[Pipcard]

The central module is called 'Union'?

But Soyuz means Union...

Come on, it's a UN mission. They don't concern themselves with trivialities like "getting back".

Great concept but ruined by illogical decisions. The Soyuz docked like that would throw assembly out of balance....
Also, if this is 1967 why consider a Soyuz TM and an ISS module?
There are many add-ons from the required time period that could be used....

I do appreciate the time and effort put in sharing the idea though!

Thanks guys for the comments and advice! :thumbup: I'm currently working on an update which would be more realistic, also ill soon upload a scenario where the station is in moon orbit and the LEM lunar landing program can be used (AMSO) and land on the Apollo 15 site Hadley/Apennine with the LRV included.

Exactly this came to my mind, when i read this But hey, there's no better way to do it... imagine two men insinde the lunar module after landing, one Russian and one American (in 1967!). They are looking at each other... who's going out first? Helluva question.
