Space Simulator Apollo 11 Transposition Rotation and Docking

Описание: About 30 minutes later in the parking orbit , with Collins in the left seat and at the controls, the transposition, docking, and extractionmaneuver was performed. This involved separating Columbia from the spent S-IVB stage, turning around, and docking with Eaglestill attached to the stage. After the LM was extracted, the combined spacecraft headed for the Moon, while the rocket stage flew on a trajectory past the Moon.This was done to avoid the third stage colliding with the spacecraft, the Earth, or the Moon. A slingshot effect from passing around the Moon threw it into an orbit around the Sun.
