SPACECRAFT BACKUP GUIDANCE AND CO;;TROL/F_M,_IAI,ATTITUDE COi_"I';<OLCAPABILITY
The Launch Vehicle Flight Control Computer will accept attitude commands
from the spacecraft instead of the LVDC during (i) boost to Earth Parking
Orbit (EPO); (2) orbital coast mode; (3) TransJunar Injection (TLI) burn; and
(4) tile post TLI coast mode, with the follow_ng constraints"
, DurinK Burn Modes
I
, .. The Spacecraft attitude commands wiil be accepted by the flight
control computer only in the event that the LVDA signals that the LV ST-124M
: Platform has failed followed bv the Astronaut enabling the LV Guidance Switch.
If the ST-124M Platform should fail before Time Base 6 (TB6) !nitiation, a
navigation update by ground command will be required to start TB6 (S-IVB preps.
: and second burn). There are two modes to the backup system operations and they
: a)Fe :
.
: (i) Automatic Backup Guidance and Control
i ,
i
In the automatic guidance mode both the control and guidance
functions will be provided by the Spacecraft. This backup mode is used during
S-IC stage flight and S-II flight up to LET jettison. The sequence of events
are as follows:
a. Failure of ST-124M is verified by LVDA.
, b. LVDA illuminates warnin_ light in S/C.
c. Astronaut enables LV Guidance switch.
-_ d. S/C transmits error signals to LV flight control computer.
, (2) Manual Backup Guidance and Control
_ : In the manual guidance mode both guidance and control loops
will be elose¢' through the Astronauts. ._m Astronaut cont_ auously adjusts
i _ vehicle attituCe via the Rotation hand Controller to maintain the desired tra-
Jectory. Sequence of events following a Platform failure after LET Jettison
are:
!
a. Failure of ST-124M verified by LVDA.
b. LVDA illuminates warning light ia S/C.
' c. Astronaut enables LV Guidance Switch.
.. d. Manual guidance and control is initiated by the Astronaut
enterlnK a word into the S/C computer to switch AUTO/
MANUAL switches to _[ANUAL.
" e. If automatic backup guidance is in operation at LET Jettison,
switching to manual backup is accomplished by performing step
• (d).
During Orbital and Post TLI Coast Mcdes

\:
L In earth orbit ana post TLI coast mode8 the Astronauts have a manual
' attitude control capability. The takeover follows somewhat the procedure for
Manual Backup Guidance and Control takeover.
