[180] Lick Observatory attempted to detect from Apollo 11's retroreflector while Armstrong and Aldrin were still on the Moon but did not succeed until August 1, 1969. [54] Conspiracists contend that NASA chose not to put the stars into the photos because astronomers would have been able to use them to determine whether the photos were taken from the Earth or the Moon, by means of identifying them and comparing their celestial position and parallax to what would be expected for either observation site. Then theres a wind tunnel called the Hypersonic Tunnel facility, which allows NASA to test the aircraft of the future at speeds up to seven times the speed of sound. After Apollo 18 was canceled, the other LRV was used for spare parts for the Apollos 15 to 17 missions. Some conspiracists have suggested that Starfish Prime (a high-altitude nuclear test in 1962) formed another intense layer on the Van Allen belt.[82]. The 221-page operation manual for the LRV contains some detailed drawings,[129] although not the blueprints. The inspector general recommended NASA create a long-term strategy for either maintaining or disposing of underutilized infrastructure at Plum Brook. Some of the facilities, most of which date back to the 1960s, are so rundown they require millions of dollars in repairs costs that must be borne by prospective customers who show no sign of materializing, the IG wrote. 2. The tapes contain the original and highest quality video feed from the Apollo 11 landing. Follow us on Twitter to get the latest on the world's hidden wonders. The Daily Telegraph published a story in 2002 saying that European astronomers at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) would use it to view the landing sites. Why was this fact never dicussed [sic] in the press or by the astronauts? [39] There was in fact no video broadcast during either the landing or takeoff because of technological limitations. NASA agreed, and, in a letter appended to the audit report, said it would present the strategy in a report to Krista Paquin, associate administrator for mission support, in September. Photos of the Moon have been taken by Hubble, including at least two Apollo landing sites, but the Hubble resolution limits viewing of lunar objects to sizes no smaller than 5569m (6075yd), which is insufficient resolution to see any landing site features.[156]. This implies that the world's major observatories (as well as the Hubble Program) are complicit in the hoax by refusing to take photos of the landing sites. Some of the main facilities hadnt been used for years. Apollo 17 LM leaving the Moon; rocket exhaust visible only briefly, Apollo 8 launch through the first stage separation, Exhaust flame may not be visible outside the atmosphere, as in this photo. If the SLS program does not test the upper stage at Plum Brook, it could use the A-3 test stand at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, which was completed in late 2014, despite the cancellation four years earlier of the Constellation program for which it was designed. The photo of the Apollo 14 landing site also shows tracks made by an astronaut between a science experiment (ALSEP) and the lander. Rep. Kaptur introduced the legislation on a bipartisan basis alongside Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH). 2023 Atlas Obscura. [174] Furthermore, lunar meteorites are so rare that it is unlikely that they could account for the 380kg (840lb) of Moon rocks that NASA gathered between 1969 and 1972. Only Plum Brooks Space Power Facility, a cavernous vacuum chamber for testing full-scale space hardware, has a steady stream of customers lined up, according to the inspector general. In 2015, a report from NASAs inspector general made the disconcerting announcement that all but one of the major test facilities at Plum Brook Station had few or no customers. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) is leading the design and build of the new world-class vibroacoustic test capabilities at the NASA GRC's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA. A propulsion engine testbed that paved the way for the Space Shuttle launch sits without recognition at this rocket center. Instead, far from calling the landings a hoax, the third edition (19701979) of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia (which was translated into English between 1974 and 1983 by Macmillan Publishers, and was later made available online by TheFreeDictionary.com[22]) contained many articles reporting the landings as factual, such as its article on Neil Armstrong. Dan Leone is a SpaceNews staff writer, covering NASA, NOAA and a growing number of entrepreneurial space companies. [150], In 2002, NASA granted US$15,000 to James Oberg for a commission to write a point-by-point rebuttal of the hoax claims. Conspiracists argue that Marshall Space Flight Center Director Wernher von Braun's trip to Antarctica in 1967 (about two years before the Apollo 11 launch) was to gather lunar meteorites to be used as fake Moon rocks. In May 2008, JAXA reported detecting the "halo" generated by the Apollo 15 Lunar Module engine exhaust from a Terrain Camera image. [176][177][178] If NASA had used similar robot technology, then between 300 and 2,000 robot missions would have been needed to collect the current amount of Moon rocks that is held by NASA. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which has lain on the lunar surface since being blown over by the Lunar Module Ascent Propulsion System. The station isnt typically open to the public, although Open House events have been run in the past, allowing visitors to tour the various facilities. claimed NASA faked the first landing in 1969 to win the Space Race. Last used in 1998 to test the upper stage of Boeings ill-fated Delta 3 launch vehicle, B-2s steam ejection system which has been broken for years needs $15 million worth of repairs before the chamber can properly simulate high-altitude conditions required for engine tests, according to the IG. The Space Power Facility has a recent history of attracting commercial customers, too. Moreover, the USSR did not develop a successful rocket capable of a crewed lunar mission until the 1980s their N1 rocket failed on all four launch attempts between 1969 and 1972. Those who believe the Moon landings were faked offer several theories about the motives of NASA and the United States government. But going to the Moon would be risky and expensive, as exemplified by President John F. Kennedy famously stating in a 1962 speech that the United States chose to go because it was hard. Conspiracists have focused on perceived gaps or inconsistencies in the historical record of the missions. Credit: NASA. [11][12] The book claims that the chance of a successful crewed landing on the Moon was calculated to be 0.0017%, and that despite close monitoring by the USSR, it would have been easier for NASA to fake the Moon landings than to really go there. [119] A crude, real-time scan conversion of the SSTV signal was done in Australia before it was broadcast worldwide. In another blow for B-2, the European Space Agency apparently will not use the facility to test the upper-stage engine for the successor to its Ariane 5 rocket. [163] The photos show the descent stage of the landers from each mission on the Moon's surface. Astrophysics and the army will not need the chambers rocket-testing capabilities, so the two groups are out as possible bill payers for B-2s broken steam-ejection system. Down in the O&C Building at KSC, the EM-1 Orion spacecraft hardware has almost completed standalone testing. The alleged Moon landings used either a sound stage or were filmed outside in a remote desert with the astronauts either using harnesses or slow-motion photography to make it look like they were on the Moon. In 2002, Alex R. Blackwell of the University of Hawaii pointed out that some photos taken by Apollo astronauts[158] while in orbit around the Moon show the landing sites. In November 2006, COSMOS Online reported that about 100 data tapes recorded in Australia during the Apollo 11 mission had been found in a small marine science laboratory in the main physics building at the Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia. Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo program and the associated Moon landings were hoaxes staged by NASA, possibly with the aid of other organizations. In even worse shape is Plum Brooks Combined Effects Chamber, which was designed for large-scale experiments with liquid hydrogen, but never used. In the 2010s NASA demolished the Rocket Systems Area as part of the agencys effort to eliminate its unused structures. And considering the cost of maintaining them, this was no small issue. Mass media have a terrible impact on people who lack guidance. In some photos, the crosshairs appear to be behind objects. However, most of the Soviet gains listed above were matched by the United States within a year, and sometimes within weeks. He earned a bachelors degree in public communications from the American University in Washington. Lewis set up a job placement office at Plum Brook to assist those affected. Many computers at the time were very large despite poor specs. She also said that several letters appeared in The West Australian discussing the Coca-Cola bottle incident within ten days of the lunar landing.[71]. [105], 4. The Space Power Facility (SPF) at the NASA Glenn Research Center's (GRC) Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio is already the home of the world's largest thermal vacuum chamber. In terms of spacecraft hours, the USSR had 460 hours of spaceflight; the United States had 1,024 hours. Whether funds continue to pour into Plum Brook Station remains to be seen. As of January 2015, NASA, the Department of Defense, and commercial launch providers are using or have plans to use the [Space Power Facility] through at least 2020 to test space-related hardware, including for NASAs Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the IG wrote. These may be labeled studio props. Opinion polls taken in various locations have shown that between 6% and 20% of Americans, 25% of Britons, and 28% of Russians surveyed believe that the crewed landings were faked. The Lunar Modules made no blast craters or any sign of dust scatter.[98]. Page Editor: Robert Arrighi Indeed, current plans for a Martian sample return would only gather about 500g (18oz) of soil,[175] and a recently proposed South Pole-Aitken basin robot mission would only gather about 1kg (2.2lb) of Moon rock. Plum Brook Station is located on 6,400 acres of land near Sandusky, Ohio, about 50 miles west of the main Glenn Research Center campus. NASA also notes that all of the operations and phases of the Apollo program were closely followed and under the scrutiny of the news media, from liftoff to splashdown. [38] The counter-argument generally given is that NASA in fact did incur a great deal of public humiliation and potential political opposition to the program by losing an entire crew in the Apollo 1 fire during a ground test, leading to its upper management team being questioned by Senate and House of Representatives space oversight committees. They have found that the Apollo 11 tapes were sent for storage at the U.S. National Archives in 1970, but by 1984, all the Apollo 11 tapes had been returned to the Goddard Space Flight Center at their request. We depend on ad revenue to craft and curate stories about the worlds hidden wonders. Some selections of restored footage in high-definition have been made available on the NASA website. This included de-energizing electrical systems, deactivating boilers, shutting down gas systems, depressurizing air service, etc. On July 17, 2009, NASA released low-resolution engineering test photos of the Apollo 11, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 landing sites that have been photographed by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter as part of the process of starting its primary mission. Proving a hoax would have been a huge propaganda win for the Soviets. In 1961, NASA's Plum Brook Reactor Facility in Sandusy, Ohio went live, with a focus on researching nuclear-powered vehicles first airplanes, and then rockets. SELENE orbited the Moon at about 100km (62 miles) altitude. On the makeup of the Moon rocks, Kaysing asked: "Why was there never a mention of gold, silver, diamonds or other precious metals on the moon? [151][198] A poll conducted in the 1970s by the United States Information Agency in several countries in Latin America, Asia, and Africa found that most respondents were unaware of the Moon landings, many of the others dismissed them as propaganda or science fiction, and many thought that it had been the Russians that landed on the Moon. However, Kubrick only got this lens for Barry Lyndon (1975). 2. [146][147] This thesis was the subject of refutation in an article published on Seeker nearly half a year later.[148]. [199], In 2019, Ipsos conducted a study for C-Span to assess the level of belief that the 1969 Moon landing was faked. (See List of human spaceflights, 19611970, and refer to individual flights for the length of time.). You should see the reCAPTCHA field below. Kubrick also used some 50mm f/0.7 lenses that were left over from a batch made by Zeiss for NASA. The CMA will connect the capsule to the ESA (European Space Agency)-provided service module for the spacecraft's next mission, Exploration Mission-1. [194] Another poll gives that 25% of 18- to 25-year-olds surveyed were unsure that the landings happened. A remote Ohio facility used to test NASA's new moon-bound spacecraft has been renamed for the first astronaut to step foot on the lunar surface. For much of the early stages of the Space Race, the USSR was ahead of the United States, yet in the end, the USSR was never able to fly a crewed spacecraft to the Moon, let alone land one on the surface. For example, he claims that, during the Apollo program, the USSR had five times more crewed hours in space than the United States, and notes that the USSR was the first to achieve many of the early milestones in space: the first artificial satellite in orbit (October 1957, Sputnik 1);[d] the first living creature in orbit (a dog named Laika, November 1957, Sputnik 2); the first man in space and in orbit (Yuri Gagarin, April 1961, Vostok 1); the first woman in space (Valentina Tereshkova, June 1963, Vostok 6); and the first spacewalk (Alexei Leonov in March 1965, Voskhod 2). Kubrick did hire Frederick Ordway and Harry Lange, both of whom had worked for NASA and major aerospace contractors, to work with him on 2001. "The Service Module is . At least some of the telemetry tapes from the ALSEP scientific experiments left on the Moon (which ran until 1977) still exist, according to Dr. Williams. Conspiracists often use this evidence to suggest that objects were "pasted" over the photographs, and hence obscure the reticle. DESIGN OF THE NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER'S WORLD-CLASS REVERBERANT ACOUSTIC TEST FACILITY . It was shut down 12 years later . Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is accused of having produced much of the footage for Apollos 11 and 12, presumably because he had just directed 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is partly set on the Moon and featured advanced special effects. In addition, NASA has set aside $1 million to seed development of a wind-turbine farm at Plum Brook, which could produce up to 20 megawatts of electricity, Whitlow said. Baron and his family were killed as their car was struck by a train at a train crossing. [123] Senior engineer Dick Nafzger, who was in charge of the live TV recordings during the Apollo missions, was put in charge of the restoration project. At a press conference Thursday, Marvel Studio officials said Plum Brook played a vital role in bringing the movie to Ohio. [7] Despite having no knowledge of rockets or technical writing,[8] Kaysing was hired as a senior technical writer in 1956 by Rocketdyne, the company that built the F-1 engines used on the Saturn V rocket. Penn Jillette made note of this in the "Conspiracy Theories" episode of his television show Penn & Teller: Bullshit! In December 1972 NASA canceled all of its nuclear propulsion and power programs, resulting in the closure of Plum Brook Station [today, the Neil Armstrong Test Facility]. The war was one of several federal budget items with which NASA had to compete; NASA's budget peaked in 1966, and fell by 42% by 1972. [42] This was the reason the final flights were cut, along with plans for even more ambitious follow-on programs such as a permanent space station and crewed flight to Mars. By May 1974 the staff had mothballed all of the Rocket Systems Area sites. We will get in touch with you shortly. The centers continued efforts to entice outside groups to utilize the inactive facilities remained ineffective. The Moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that camera film would have melted. Discover the best publication that space professionals throughout the world turn to first. [166][167] The Indian Space Research Organisation launched their uncrewed lunar probe on September 8, 2008 (IST), from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Of special concern to the IG is Plum Brooks B-2 Spacecraft Propulsion Research Facility, a cavernous vacuum chamber built in 1964 and used to test-fire rocket engines in space-like conditions. The astronauts had relied on computers to aid in the Moon missions. [48] With the number of people involved, and noting the Watergate scandal, Jillette noted that someone would have outed the hoax by now. The center did not bring the Rocket Systems Area sites, which had fallen into disrepair during the interim, back online. [160] The telescope was used to image the Moon and provided a resolution of 130 meters (430ft), which was not good enough to resolve the 4.2 meters (14ft) wide lunar landers or their long shadows.[161]. And at the Mechanical Vibration Facility, spacecraft launch conditions can be tested in what is the worlds most powerful spacecraft shaker system. [172][173] However, the first Antarctic lunar meteorite was found in 1979, and its lunar origin was not recognized until 1982. The quality of the photographs is implausibly high. There are, however, a few nonrocket B-2 bookings lined up for 2015. The Gas Handling Area was removed in March 2010, followed by the High Energy Rocket Engine Research Facility (B1) and Nuclear Rocket Dynamics and Control Facility (B3) facilities in fall 2010. [128] Three of them were carried to the Moon on Apollos 15, 16, and 17, used by the astronauts for transportation once on the Moon, and left there. The criminal conspiracy involved distributing fentanyl and other similar substances from Canada and China into the United States, resulting in 15 overdoses, four of which were fatal. NASA Official: Anne Mills [41] In fact, the ending of the landings was not "sudden" (see Space Race above). 7. . But if the SLS program wants to use B-2 to test that upper stage, it would be expected to cover the estimated $15 million in basic refurbishment costs as well as SLS Program-specific test costs, which could likely be significant, the IG wrote. Landing on the Moon was viewed as a national and technological accomplishment that would generate world-wide acclaim. One passage on how Kubrick was supposedly coerced into the conspiracy reads: NASA further leveraged their position by threatening to publicly reveal the heavy involvement of Mr. Kubrick's younger brother, Raul, with the American Communist Party. The NASA Space Environmental Test (SET) Project is tasked to develop new environmental test facilities to support NASA's developing space exploration program. There should have been more than a two-second delay in communications between Earth and the Moon, at a distance of 400,000km (250,000 miles). Because von Braun was a former SS officer (though one who had been detained by the Gestapo),[170] the documentary film Did We Go? [46][47] To date, nobody from the United States government or NASA linked to the Apollo program has said the Moon landings were hoaxes. 3. [c] Hundreds of thousands of people including astronauts, scientists, engineers, technicians, and skilled laborers would have had to keep the secret. [Meta] Sticky Comment. More by Dan Leone. Engineers at NASA's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, began the first of a series of modal tests on a structural representation of the crew module adapter (CMA) for Orion. It's home to the antenna that received the first images of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. Plum Brook Station is testing a new generation of space exploration technologies that are essential for NASA's plans to explore the lunar surface and again land humans on the Moon. It is argued that, because the USSR was unable to do this, the United States should have also been unable to develop the technology to do so. Footprints in the Moondust are unexpectedly well preserved, despite the lack of moisture. Dgh sees a parallel with other attitudes during the post-Watergate era, when the American public were inclined to distrust official accounts. During the period 1961 to 1972, at least eight Soviet serving and former cosmonauts died: Additionally, the overall chief of their crewed-spaceflight program, Sergei Korolev, died while undergoing surgery in January 1966. [137] Conspiracy theorists claim that the computers during the time of the Moon landings would not have been advanced enough to allow for human space travel to the Moon and back;[138] they similarly claim that other contemporary technology (radio transmission, radar, and other instrumentation) was likewise insufficient for the task.[139]. Moreover, even if someone wanted to use the chamber, it is unusable in its current condition, according to the IG. Maybe they had compromised Kubrick in some way. Moon landing conspiracy theoriesclaim that some or all elements of the Apollo programand the associated Moon landingswere hoaxesstaged by NASA, possibly with the aid of other organizations. 1. The photos contain artifacts like the two seemingly matching 'C's on a rock and on the ground. There appear to be "hot spots" in some photos that look like a large spotlight was used in place of the Sun. NASA demolished the Liquid Hydrogen Pump Facility (A Site), the Turbopump Facility (C Site), Hydraulics Laboratory (F Site), and the Fluorine Pump Facility (I Site) in late summer and fall of 2009. Rocket engines are the dark structures at the bottom center, The launch of a Titan II, burning hypergolic Aerozine-50/N2O4, 1.9MN (430,000lbf) of thrust. Dgh writes: "The mass media catapult these half-truths into a kind of twilight zone where people can make their guesses sound as truths. NASA's Glenn Research Center's world-class facilities and expert staff help develop and verify cutting-edge technologies in the areas of aeronautics, aerospace and space. The sites, which had been exposed to the elements for years, were beyond restoration. [24], Conspiracist Bart Sibrel responded, incorrectly asserting that, "the Soviets did not have the capability to track deep space craft until late in 1972, immediately after which, the last three Apollo missions were abruptly canceled. Various groups and individuals have made claims since the mid-1970s that NASA and others knowingly misled the public into believing the landings happened, by manufacturing, tampering with, or destroying evidence including photos, telemetry tapes, radio and TV transmissions, and Moon rock samples. Several scenes in 2001 show dust billowing as spacecraft landed, something that would not happen in the vacuum environment of the Moon. To broadcast the pictures to regular television, a scan conversion had to be done. Baron was a quality control inspector who wrote a report critical of the Apollo program and was an outspoken critic of NASA's safety record after the Apollo 1 fire. For example, 2001 was released before the first Apollo landing and Kubrick's depiction of the Moon's surface differs greatly from its appearance in the Apollo footage. Neither the Atomic Energy Commission nor NASA Lewis had been given any indication that the nuclear propulsion program would be cancelled until the budget was officially announced on January 5, 1973. The 2015 movie Moonwalkers is a fictional account of a CIA agent's claim of Kubrick's involvement. All of the conspiracists' claims examined on the show were labeled as having been "Busted", meaning that the conspiracists' claims were not true. The Apollo Guidance Computer was on the Lunar Module and the command and service module. The only real success story in terms of actual customers was, and still is, the Space Power Facility. Copies of those tapes have been found.[120]. Follow us on social media to add even more wonder to your day. While the Apollo missions gathered 380kg (840lb) of Moon rocks, the Soviet Luna 16, Luna 20 and Luna 24 robots gathered only 326g (11.5oz) combined (that is, less than one-thousandth as much). 3.
