Others are looking for the missing telemetry tapes for different reasons. It shows the Earth with the correct background of stars, Long-exposure photo (1.6 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 10000) from the ISS in July 2011 of Space Shuttle Atlantis re-entry in which some stars are visible. Sibrel said that it may have been caused by indoor fans used to cool the astronauts since their spacesuit cooling systems would have been too heavy on Earth. [140][141] All of the deaths occurred at least 20 months before Apollo 11 and subsequent flights. You should see the reCAPTCHA field below. On this page: Acoustics Facilities Combustion Facilities Components Facilities Its walls are 2 feet thick to withstand the blast of powerful . One of the old tapes has been sent to NASA for analysis. Mass media have a terrible impact on people who lack guidance. On this page: Plum Brook Station Closure Standby Years Demolition of the Sites A propulsion engine testbed that paved the way for the Space Shuttle launch sits without recognition at this rocket center. By the late 1970s, NASA decided to continue the maintenance of the reactor, Space Power Facility (SPF), Spacecraft Propulsion Research Facility (B2), Cryogenic Propellant Tank Facility (K Site), and the Hypersonic Tunnel Facility (HTF), but ceased protecting the other Rocket Systems Area sites. The air conditioning units that were part of the astronauts' spacesuits could not have worked in an environment of no atmosphere.[109]. It parodies conspiracy theories with faked interviews, stories of assassinations of Stanley Kubrick's assistants by the CIA, and a variety of conspicuous mistakes, puns, and references to old movie characters, inserted through the film as clues for the viewer. Mark D. Bowles and Robert S. Arrighi (August 2004), nuclear energy for spaceflight propulsion, NASA's Nuclear Frontier: The Plum Brook Nuclear Facility, "Tour the tomb of NASA's first and last nuclear reactor", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Plum_Brook_Reactor&oldid=1031126485, This page was last edited on 29 June 2021, at 23:42. in 2005. The launch and splashdown would be real but the spacecraft would stay in Earth orbit and fake footage broadcast as "live from the Moon." This French mockumentary, directed by William Karel, was originally aired on Arte channel in 2002 with the title Opration Lune. [195], There are subcultures worldwide which advocate the belief that the Moon landings were faked. Every weekday we compile our most wondrous stories and deliver them straight to you. For technical reasons, the Apollo 11 lander carried a slow-scan television (SSTV) camera (see Apollo TV camera). In 2004 NASA began funding the demolition of unused facilities across the agency. 2. All rights reserved. A Fraud! This article incorporates public domain material from websites or documents of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. 12. Who filmed Neil Armstrong stepping onto the Moon? These include the Reverberant Acoustic Test Facility, which is like something from the wildest dreams of Spinal Tap. Maybe they had compromised Kubrick in some way. Crosshairs are sometimes rotated or in the wrong place. [159] "Given SMART-1's initial high orbit, however, it may prove difficult to see artifacts," said Foing in an interview on space.com. Copies of those tapes have been found.[120]. The Apollo Guidance Computer was on the Lunar Module and the command and service module. There was very little activity at Plum Brook until the late 1980s when Lewis Research Center reactivated four test sites and resumed testing. [132] The Soviet LK lunar lander was tested in uncrewed low-Earth-orbit flights three times in 1970 and 1971. Plum Brook Station, however, continues to support NASA and industry with its four large test facilities today. The worlds most powerful spacecraft acoustic test chamber, its capable of simulating the noise of a spacecraft launch up to 163 decibels, or as loud as the thrust of 20 jet engines. 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. We will get in touch with you shortly. "[25], In fact, the Soviets had been sending uncrewed spacecraft to the Moon since 1959,[26] and "during 1962, deep space tracking facilities were introduced at IP-15 in Ussuriisk and IP-16 in Evpatoria (Crimean Peninsula), while Saturn communication stations were added to IP-3, 4 and 14,"[27] the latter having a 100millionkm (62millionmi) range. Offer subject to change without notice. Plum Brook Station, located about 50 miles west of NASA's Glenn Research enter in Sandusky, Ohio, is home to several unique space-related test facilities, including the Space Power Facility (SPF), an environmental simulation chamber used to test hardware in a simulated space or planetary environment.

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. The sites, which had been exposed to the elements for years, were beyond restoration. It has served a number of functions over the years, and some facilities have been decommissioned, including the Plum Brook Nuclear Reactor, which NASA once used for space-related nuclear energy research and development. Jason Joey Berry, 39, of Montreal, Canada, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and import it into the United States, resulting in serious bodily injury and death. [20], Hoax theory debunker Phil Plait says in his 2002 book Bad Astronomy,[b] that the Soviets with their own competing Moon program, an extensive intelligence network and a formidable scientific community able to analyze NASA data would have 'cried foul' if the United States tried to fake a Moon landing,[21] especially since their own program had failed. 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. [166][167] The Indian Space Research Organisation launched their uncrewed lunar probe on September 8, 2008 (IST), from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. 1. However, still photos of the original SSTV image are available (see photos). 11. 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. Proving a hoax would have been a huge propaganda win for the Soviets. [115][116] Apollo 11 data tapes containing telemetry and the high-quality video (before scan conversion from slow-scan TV to standard TV) of the first moonwalk are also missing. Wasn't this a viable consideration? [168], The Apollo program collected 380kg (838lb) of Moon rocks during the six crewed missions. Nevertheless, the claim was taken up in earnest;[144] Clyde Lewis used it almost word-for-word,[143] whereas Jay Weidner gave the brother a more senior status within the party: No one knows how the powers-that-be convinced Kubrick to direct the Apollo landings. To broadcast the pictures to regular television, a scan conversion had to be done. They point to oddities in photos and films taken on the Moon. This direct TV signal, along with telemetry data, was recorded onto one-inch fourteen-track analog tape at Parkes. Meanwhile Plum Brook continued worked to complete several tests during this period, including testing of the Centaur Standard Shroud for the upcoming Viking mission. [23] Indeed their article on space exploration describes the Apollo 11 landing as "the third historic event" of the space age, following the launch of Sputnik in 1957, and Yuri Gagarin's flight in 1961. Marcus Allen, a conspiracist, answered that no photos of hardware on the Moon would convince him that human landings had happened. Meanwhile, prospects are even worse for three of Plum Brooks other major testing facilities. They called on NASA to restore the test facilities at Plum Brook and resume operation. The most notable claim is that the six crewed landings (19691972) were faked and that twelve Apollo astronauts did not actually walk on the Moon. After a three-year search, the "inescapable conclusion" was that about 45 tapes (estimated 15 tapes recorded at each of the three tracking stations) of Apollo 11 video were erased and re-used, said Nafzger. Their flight paths were tracked using radar and they were sighted and photographed using telescopes. The cavernous vacuum chamber continues to attract a steady stream of customers, including SpaceX, which has tested both its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft at the facility. Deep scars on the earth left by the Ice Age. NASA raised "about US$30 billion" to go to the Moon, and Kaysing claimed in his book that this could have been used to "pay off" many people. A-3 was to be the high-altitude test site for the mothballed J-2X upper-stage engine, designed to power the Ares 5 cargo launcher canceled along with Constellation. 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. SELENE orbited the Moon at about 100km (62 miles) altitude. 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]. 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. [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. The cameras were fitted with a Rseau plate (a clear glass plate with a reticle etched on), making it impossible for any photographed object to appear "in front" of the grid. The many allegations in Kaysing's book effectively began discussion of the Moon landings being faked. Rule 2 does not apply when replying to this stickied comment.. Rule 2 does apply throughout the rest of this thread.. What this means: Please keep any "meta" discussion directed at specific users, mods, or r/conspiracy in general in this comment chain only.. 3. "Moon hoax" redirects here. Plum Brook Station is the 2590 hectare (6400 acre) field station of NASA Glenn Research Center. Measuring 100' in diameter and 122' high, it was ideal for testing the Mars lander systems and International Space Station hardware. 3. Sign up for our newsletter and enter to win the second edition of our book. 2022-2023 NASA Plum Brook Station Deer Hunt is Canceled The 2022-2023 NASA Plum Brook Station (now named the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility) Deer Hunt, managed jointly by NASA and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife, is canceled. Kubrick had no such brother the article was a spoof, complete with a giveaway sentence describing Kubrick shooting the moonwalk "on location" on the Moon. [186] This Fox special is seen as having promoted the hoax claims. Motivation for the United States to engage the Soviet Union in a Space Race can be traced to the then on-going Cold War. 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.

The site where Michigan launched its first rocket into space lies abandoned in the dense woods along Lake Superior. As of September2021[update], four of the twelve Apollo astronauts who landed on the Moon between 1969 and 1972 are still alive, including Buzz Aldrin. 5. Its used for testing full-scale space hardware, including parts of rockets, Mars landers, and space stations. Rep. Kaptur introduced the legislation on a bipartisan basis alongside Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH). . Using the scientific process, any hypothesis that is contradicted by the observable facts may be rejected. Orion progress at KSC, consumable offload planned for EM-1. [1] Since the late 2000s, high-definition photos taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) of the Apollo landing sites have captured the Lunar Module descent stages and the tracks left by the astronauts. 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. Not to be confused with, Claimed motives of the United States and NASA, In 1968, Clarke and Kubrick had collaborated on the film. The Lunar Modules weighed 17 tons and made no mark on the Moondust, yet footprints can be seen beside them.

Penn Jillette made note of this in the "Conspiracy Theories" episode of his television show Penn & Teller: Bullshit! [162] A three-dimensional reconstructed photo also matched the terrain of an Apollo 15 photo taken from the surface. Also, six of the twelve Apollo astronauts who flew to the Moon without landing between 1968 and 1972 are still alive. This would have allowed for only a small number of people to actually know the truth about faking the Moon landings.[49]. The B-2 Spacecraft Propulsion Research Facility had last been used in 1998, and both the Hypersonic Test Facility and the Cryogenic Components Laboratory hadnt been used in four years. Many computers at the time were very large despite poor specs. Offer available only in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico). The MythBusters crew tested many of the conspiracists' claims. This would have been an intolerable embarrassment to Mr. Kubrick, especially since the release of Dr. Strangelove. 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. [117][118], Dr. David R. Williams (NASA archivist at Goddard Space Flight Center) and Apollo 11 flight director Eugene F. Kranz both acknowledged that the original high-quality Apollo 11 telemetry data tapes are missing. 10. In 1985 the Office of Management and Budget recommended that NASA relinquish control of Plum Brook Station. Some facilities have already been penciled in for demolition, including the Cryogenic Components Laboratory. [32] (See Vietnam War below. In 2013, SpaceX tested the 5.2-meter fairing for its Falcon 9 rocket there. [125], Grumman appears to have destroyed most of its LM documentation,[116][126] but copies of the blueprints for the Saturn V exist on microfilm.[127]. [121] Goddard was storing 35,000 new tapes per year in 1967,[122] even before the Moon landings. In August 2021, the facility was renamed to honor Apollo astronaut and Ohio native Neil Armstrong. Spacecraft Propulsion Research Facility (B-2), Cryogenic Propellant Tank Facility (K-Site), World's Largest Vacuum Chamber to Test Orion, + Budgets, Strategic Plans and Accountability Reports, + Equal Employment Opportunity Data Posted Pursuant to the No Fear Act, + Information-Dissemination Priorities and Inventories. "The Service Module is . [40], The American Patriot Friends Network claimed in 2009 that the landings helped the United States government distract public attention from the unpopular Vietnam War, and so crewed landings suddenly ended about the same time that the United States ended its involvement in the war. The Space Power Facility has a recent history of attracting commercial customers, too. 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). The lens was originally a still photo lens and needed changes to be used for motion filming. NASA Plum Brook Station In-Space Propulsion Facility Test Stand Characterization Hot Fire Test A test facility modification to enable small scale altitude propulsion testing at the NASA Glenn Research Center's In-Space Propulsion (ISP) Facility was verified with a hot fire test campaign. Since 2012, Plum Brook Station has received about $31 million in annual funding from NASA, most of which comes from the agencys Construction and Environmental Compliance account the budget line reserved for building, maintaining and demolishing infrastructure. 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. 2. [113] Parkes had a bigger antenna than NASA's antenna in Australia at the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station, so it received a better picture. Some of the main facilities hadnt been used for years. [143] It has been claimed that when 2001 was in post-production in early 1968, NASA secretly approached Kubrick to direct the first three Moon landings. 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]. The US$230,000 restoration project took months to complete and did not include sound quality improvements. We depend on ad revenue to craft and curate stories about the worlds hidden wonders. Technically, this allowed the mothballed test stands to be reactivated within 3 months. Moon-landing conspiracists focus heavily on NASA photos. It was shut down 12 years later . [28] The Soviet Union tracked the Apollo missions at the Space Transmissions Corps, which was "fully equipped with the latest intelligence-gathering and surveillance equipment. The CMA will connect the capsule to the ESA (European Space Agency)-provided service module for the spacecraft's next mission, Exploration Mission-1. "[29] Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered," describes how the Soviet Moon program dwindled after the Apollo landings. Discover the best publication that space professionals throughout the world turn to first. 8. Only about 30kg (66lb) of lunar meteorites have been found on Earth thus far, despite private collectors and governmental agencies worldwide searching for more than 20 years.[174]. The slow-scan television images were not on the tape. 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. The mockumentary based on this idea, Dark Side of the Moon, could have fueled the conspiracy theory. The most notable claim is that the six crewed landings (1969-1972)were faked and that twelve Apollo astronautsdid not actually walk on the Moon. Down in the O&C Building at KSC, the EM-1 Orion spacecraft hardware has almost completed standalone testing. In terms of astronaut/cosmonaut time, the USSR had 534 hours of crewed spaceflight whereas the United States had 1,992 hours. The Apollo samples are easily distinguishable from both meteorites and Earth rocks[6] in that they show a lack of hydrous alteration products, they show evidence of having undergone impact events on an airless body, and they have unique geochemical traits. 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. The tapes are believed to have been stored rather than re-used. Note the near-transparency of the exhaust, even in air (water is being sprayed up from below), Atlas uses non-hypergolic kerosene (RP-1) fuel which gives a bright and very visible exhaust, 1.5MN (340,000lbf) of thrust, Bright flame from first stage of the Saturn V, burning RP-1, 3. [183], In a 1994 poll by The Washington Post, 9% of the respondents said that it was possible that astronauts did not go to the Moon and another 5% were unsure. 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. After Apollo 18 was canceled, the other LRV was used for spare parts for the Apollos 15 to 17 missions. [142] The fact sheet is particularly blunt and regards the idea of faking the Moon landings to be preposterous and outlandish. This number includes the crews of Apollos 8, Faked Moon Landing Hidden Subliminal Messages in Stanley Kubrick's Movie 'The Shining', Last edited on 23 February 2023, at 00:31, "On Eagle's Wings: The Parkes Observatory's Support of the Apollo 11 Mission", Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, Apollo astronauts who flew to the Moon without landing, Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council, Third-party evidence for Apollo Moon landings, Apollo missions tracked by independent parties, Moon landing conspiracy theories in popular culture, List of topics characterized as pseudoscience, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, "NASA Spacecraft Images Offer Sharper Views of Apollo Landing Sites", "LRO slewed 19 down-Sun allowing the illuminated side of the still standing American flag to be captured at the Apollo 17 landing site. 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. Consider supporting our work by becoming a member for as little as $5 a month. 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. Since 2012, Plum Brook Station has received about $31 million in annual funding from NASA, most of which comes from the agency's Construction and Environmental Compliance account the budget. 2. A multiagency commission, however, reviewed the assessment and came to a different conclusion. In November 2004 the Dynamics Stand (E Stand) became the first to fall. Any other potential visits would have to be arranged by contacting Glenn Research Center or Plum Brook directly. 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. Lewis reactivated the B2 vacuum chamber in 1987, SPF and K Site in 1988, and the HTF in 1993. 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. WASHINGTON All but one of the five big test facilities at NASAs Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, have few or no customers, and the situation is unlikely to change any time soon, according to an April 23 report from NASAs inspector general (IG). Bart Sibrel cites the relative level of the United States and USSR space technology as evidence that the Moon landings could not have happened. Lewis Director Bruce Lundin traveled to Plum Brook that day to personally inform the staff that the station would be closed down. ", "End of Conspiracy Theories? It was also used to shoot some scenes from the 2012 Marvel movie The Avengers. Two of the above, X-15 pilot Mike Adams and MOL pilot Robert Lawrence, had no connection with the civilian crewed space program that oversaw the Apollo missions. Whether funds continue to pour into Plum Brook Station remains to be seen. 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. 1. According to the article, Dr. Richard West said that his team would take "a high-resolution image of one of the Apollo landing sites." [163] Photos of the Apollo 12 landing site were released by NASA on September 3, 2009. 5. [181] The Apollo 14 astronauts deployed a retroreflector on February 5, 1971, and McDonald Observatory detected it the same day. However, five hours before transmission they were told to stand down.
