Winner will be selected at random on 04/01/2023. The quality of the photographs is implausibly high. 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. [30], Also, there was nothing "abrupt" about the Apollo cancellations, which were made for cost-cutting reasons. However, most of the Soviet gains listed above were matched by the United States within a year, and sometimes within weeks. Much third-party evidence for the landings exists, and detailed rebuttals to the hoax claims have been made. At a press conference Thursday, Marvel Studio officials said Plum Brook played a vital role in bringing the movie to Ohio. Some claim that the technology to send men to the Moon was lacking or that the Van Allen radiation belts, solar flares, solar wind, coronal mass ejections and cosmic rays made such a trip impossible. On later missions, NASA released information to the public explaining where and when the spacecraft could be sighted. Nevertheless, Opration Lune is still taken at face value by some conspiracy believers. The documentary reinvigorated the public's interest in conspiracy theories and the possibility that the Moon landings were faked, which has provoked NASA to once again defend its name. These include the Reverberant Acoustic Test Facility, which is like something from the wildest dreams of Spinal Tap. Oberg says that belief in the hoax theories is not the fault of the conspiracists, but rather that of teachers and people (including NASA) who should provide information to the public. 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. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you . Plum Brook is part of the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center and is home to unique world-class facilities that conduct critical and innovative tests for the international aerospace community. Dan Leone is a SpaceNews staff writer, covering NASA, NOAA and a growing number of entrepreneurial space companies. [117] The Apollo 11 telemetry tapes were different from the telemetry tapes of the other Moon landings because they contained the raw television broadcast. . 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. In even worse shape is Plum Brooks Combined Effects Chamber, which was designed for large-scale experiments with liquid hydrogen, but never used. The Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility (formerly known as Plum Brook Station) is part of NASA's Glenn Research Center in Ohio. "[171] NASA continues to send teams to work in Antarctica to mimic the conditions on other planets. (See List of human spaceflights, 19611970, and refer to individual flights for the length of time.). 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. 2. Every weekday we compile our most wondrous stories and deliver them straight to you. 10. [163] The photos show the descent stage of the landers from each mission on the Moon's surface. 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. It is now accepted by the scientific community that rocks have been blasted from both the Martian and lunar surface during impact events, and that some of these have landed on the Earth as meteorites. In addition, the center decided to begin removing the Plum Brook Ordnance Works (PBOW) concrete bunkers that had stored munitions during World War II and NASA records and equipment in later years. Kubrick also used some 50mm f/0.7 lenses that were left over from a batch made by Zeiss for NASA. Dgh writes: "The mass media catapult these half-truths into a kind of twilight zone where people can make their guesses sound as truths. Down in the O&C Building at KSC, the EM-1 Orion spacecraft hardware has almost completed standalone testing. 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 1965, the United States started to achieve many firsts (such as the first successful space rendezvous), which were important steps in a mission to the Moon. M113751661L", "Apollo Moon flags still standing, images show", "American Flags From Apollo Missions Still Standing", "The Flat-out Truth: Earth Orbits? In June 1977, NASA issued a fact sheet responding to recent claims that the Apollo Moon landings had been hoaxed. [Meta] Sticky Comment. Several scenes in 2001 show dust billowing as spacecraft landed, something that would not happen in the vacuum environment of the Moon. Lewis reactivated the B2 vacuum chamber in 1987, SPF and K Site in 1988, and the HTF in 1993. Moon-landing conspiracists claim that observatories and the Hubble Space Telescope should be able to photograph the landing sites. Proving a hoax would have been a huge propaganda win for the Soviets. Any other potential visits would have to be arranged by contacting Glenn Research Center or Plum Brook directly. [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. 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]. Analyses by scientists worldwide all agree that these rocks came from the Moon no published accounts in peer-reviewed scientific journals exist that dispute this claim. Get top stories, military space news and more delivered to your inbox. These were announced in January and September 1970,[31] two full years before the "late 1972" claimed by Sibrel.

Some conspiracists have suggested that Starfish Prime (a high-altitude nuclear test in 1962) formed another intense layer on the Van Allen belt.[82]. 2. Some still think so", "Solar corona photographed from Apollo 15 one minute prior to sunrise", "Goddard's Journal: Are Apollo Moon Photos Fake? They point to oddities in photos and films taken on the Moon. 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. 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]. In this image, the Earth is lit by moonlight, not sunlight. Baron and his family were killed as their car was struck by a train at a train crossing. 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. Nafzger praised Lowry for restoring "crispness" to the Apollo video, which will remain in black and white and contains conservative digital enhancements. The Plum Brook Reactor was a NASA 60 megawatt water-cooled and moderated research nuclear reactor, [1] [2] located in Sandusky, Ohio, 50 mi west of the NASA Glenn Research Center (at that time the NASA Lewis Research Center) in Cleveland, of which it was organizationally a part. The site where Michigan launched its first rocket into space lies abandoned in the dense woods along Lake Superior. In 2013, SpaceX tested the 5.2-meter fairing for its Falcon 9 rocket there. The presence of retroreflectors (mirrors used as targets for Earth-based tracking lasers) from the Laser Ranging Retroreflector Experiment (LRRR) is evidence that there were landings. 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. Parkes supposedly had the clearest video feed from the Moon, but Australian media and all other known sources ran a live feed from the United States. Our premier ground test facilities support powered flight through the atmosphere and beyond. 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.

[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. 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. To broadcast the pictures to regular television, a scan conversion had to be done. The first was a 100-kW experimental wind turbine at Plum Brook that Lewis researchers erected and operated. 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. The 221-page operation manual for the LRV contains some detailed drawings,[129] although not the blueprints. [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. [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. 2. 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. Crosshairs are sometimes rotated or in the wrong place. Blueprints and design and development drawings of the machines involved are missing. 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. Offer available only in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico). The lens was originally a still photo lens and needed changes to be used for motion filming. Engineers inspect the inlet of a prototype Hypersonic Research Engine scramjet prior to a test run in Hypersonic Tunnel Facility. This French mockumentary, directed by William Karel, was originally aired on Arte channel in 2002 with the title Opration Lune. 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. NASA Glenn's Space Power Facility in Sandusky, Ohio, contains the world's largest space simulation chamber.

[117] suggests that he could have been pressured to agree to the conspiracy to protect himself from recriminations over his past. Whether funds continue to pour into Plum Brook Station remains to be seen. Up to one photo per 50 seconds.[68]. [105], 4. Today, a handful of test facilities are currently operational at Plum Brook, all of which rank among the largest and most powerful space environment simulation facilities in the world. 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. In addition, safety officials considered several sites to be hazards. [166], China's second lunar probe, Chang'e 2, which was launched in 2010, can photograph the lunar surface with a resolution of up to 7m (23ft). As a result, Lewis partnered with the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) to construct a series of experimental large horizontal axis wind turbines. NASA refers to the rocks and particles collected from the Moon as being evidence of the program's legitimacy, as they claim that these rocks could not have been formed under conditions on Earth. In a televised program about the Moon-landing hoax allegations, Fox Entertainment Group listed the deaths of ten astronauts and two civilians related to the crewed spaceflight program as part of an alleged cover-up. The tapes contain the original and highest quality video feed from the Apollo 11 landing. The digital technology on Earth during the time of the Moon landings was just in its infancy. Maybe they had compromised Kubrick in some way. NASA Glenn Research Center Plum Brook Station 3899 E. Scheid Road Sandusky, Ohio 44870 Prepared by: Leidos 1750 Presidents Street Reston, Virginia 20190 September 2020 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK FINAL COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT PLAN FOR CERCLA ACTIVITIES NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION PLUM BROOK STATION SANDUSKY, OHIO 3. 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). This suggests that it was filmed on Earth and a breeze caused the flag to flutter. 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. Because von Braun was a former SS officer (though one who had been detained by the Gestapo),[170] the documentary film Did We Go? 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. [172][173] However, the first Antarctic lunar meteorite was found in 1979, and its lunar origin was not recognized until 1982. Offer subject to change without notice. [13][14], In 1980, the Flat Earth Society accused NASA of faking the landings, arguing that they were staged by Hollywood with Walt Disney sponsorship, based on a script by Arthur C. Clarke and directed by Stanley Kubrick. [130][131] In fact, by the time of the launch of the first crewed Earth-orbiting Apollo flight (Apollo 7), the USSR had made only nine spaceflights (seven with one cosmonaut, one with two, one with three) compared to 16 by the United States. 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. 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. [33] Since most conspiracists believe that sending men to the Moon was impossible at the time,[34] they argue that landings had to be faked to fulfill Kennedy's 1961 goal, "before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. [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. [140][141] All of the deaths occurred at least 20 months before Apollo 11 and subsequent flights. 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. 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]. 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. 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. We depend on ad revenue to craft and curate stories about the worlds hidden wonders. "[196][197], James Oberg of ABC News said that the conspiracy theory is taught in Cuban schools and wherever Cuban teachers are sent. Film in the cameras would have been fogged by this radiation. [165], On September 1, 2009, India's lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 took photos of the Apollo 15 landing site and tracks of the lunar rovers. NASA responds to Bill Kaysing's book, We Never Went to the Moon, by identifying one of his claims of fraud regarding the lack of a crater left on the Moon's surface by the landing of the lunar module, and refuting it with facts about the soil and cohesive nature of the surface of the Moon. 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. NASA also used the Space Power Facility to test its Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. Motivation for the United States to engage the Soviet Union in a Space Race can be traced to the then on-going Cold War. The Parkes Observatory in Australia was billed to the world for weeks as the site that would be relaying communications from the first moonwalk. 5. Others are looking for the missing telemetry tapes for different reasons. Sandusky's Plum Brook Station is an annex to the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, Ohio. 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. 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. 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 Apollo 16 crew could not have survived a big solar flare firing out when they were on their way to the Moon. Plum Brook Station facilities including Space Propulsion Research Facility (foreground) and Hypersonic Tunnel Facility (upper left), Plum Brook Station (Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility). 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. 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. [151] Oberg said that he meant to finish the book. Page Last Updated: September 28, 2021, 21000 Brookpark RoadCleveland, OH 44135(216) 433-4000. [194] Another poll gives that 25% of 18- to 25-year-olds surveyed were unsure that the landings happened. In May 2008, JAXA reported detecting the "halo" generated by the Apollo 15 Lunar Module engine exhaust from a Terrain Camera image. In terms of spacecraft hours, the USSR had 460 hours of spaceflight; the United States had 1,024 hours.
