Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders are further from the surface of the Earth than any human in history and are only thirteen hours from a rendezvous with Earth's natural satellite as their spacecraft, Apollo 8, begins its fall towards the Moon. Though they don't know it yet, they have just passed another historic milestone by passing a point between the Earth and Moon where the gravity of the two planets balance. Now the Moon is exerting the greater pull as they become the first people to enter the gravitational realm of another world. 056:37:13 Mattingly: Okay, 8.

We want to run a little exercise on the ground here to make sure that we're able to dump the tape and bring the voice portion back to Houston in a timely manner. So we plan to dump your tape, and we're going to exercise the procedures on the ground to get it back here and take a listen to it. We believe that we have something on the tape already unless you have recorded over it after the last dump. Just to make sure, we'd like to have you just say a few words, give us a short count or something on the tape and anything else that you might want to put on there. And we're going to do this in the next 5 minutes before we get away from Madrid. That's the site we want to exercise, so we'll go ahead and do that, and we'll tell you before we make the dump. Apollo 8 will spend 20 hours around the Moon making ten full two-hour orbits in that time.

Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders are further from the surface of the Earth than any human in history and are only thirteen hours from a rendezvous with Earth's natural satellite as their spacecraft, Apollo 8, begins its fall towards the Moon.

For one hour and fifteen minutes of each orbit, Mission Control will be able to receive data from the spacecraft's systems, letting flight controllers keep an eye on the critical systems that will keep the crew alive and bring them back home. For the rest of each orbit, about 45 minutes, the spacecraft is behind the Moon and out of radio communication. All three engine burns, two of them absolutely critical, will take place during these times so there is a strong desire to record engineering data while the crew are behind the Moon. Medal of honor warfighter product code. This is achieved with the DSE (Data Storage Equipment), a tape recorder that records data from the many sensors around the spacecraft as well as voice from the crew. It can be controlled either by the crew or remotely by Mission Control so that when the spacecraft reappears around the Moon's limb, all its far-side telemetry can be dumped to the ground.

There is a separate channel within the S-band radio link to carry this data as well as the live data from the spacecraft. As the voice and data from the DSE are sent to Earth, they are recorded at the ground station that received the signals. This is usually Goldstone in California, Madrid in Spain or Honeysuckle in Australia. Once the engineers at the station have recorded the contents of the DSE onto tapes, these can be replayed to Houston on dedicated lines, either voice or data.
