Planning, procedures, and training
The “mission planning and operations” pillar: how the first landing was scheduled,
proceduralized, rehearsed — and how the flight diverged from the script. The
library’s planning spine runs from the
Lunar Surface Operations Plan
and Flight Plan (what was intended),
through the EVA Procedures and the
onboard checklists (what the
crew’s hands were instructed to do), to the planned-vs-actual comparisons built
from the Mission Report. Plan-vs-actual
is this library’s signature analytical thread — see the
plan-vs-actual divergence report and
the annotated EVA timeline
in analyses/.
Concepts
Section titled “Concepts”- Apollo 11 nominal mission timeline — the Flight Plan’s GET-tagged “as-planned” schedule: rest-then-EVA, the 112:30–115:18 nominal moonwalk.
- Apollo 11 EVA planned vs. actual timeline — Mission Report Table 11-I: per-task planned vs. actual times, the prep overrun, the documented-sample cut.
- Apollo 11 LM onboard checklists — the as-flown cockpit books: activation, transfer list, stay/no-stay, EVA prep, and the hand-off to cue cards.
- Apollo 11 contingency EVA procedures — the failure cases held in reserve: one-man EVA, PLSS recharge, repress failure, orbital transfer EVA.
- Apollo 11 training and simulations — the 1,000-hour syllabus, the simulators, the LLTV, and where the rehearsals matched or missed the Moon.
