The SM had 16 RCS thrusters (RCS stands for Reaction Control System).

The Command Module (CM) had an additional 12.

What were some of the experiments in Apollo 7?

The Apollo 7 experiments included tests of sextant calibration, attitude control, evaporator, navigation, rendezvous radar, thermal control system, and service module propulsion systems. Really the whole flight was an experiment as it was the first manned mission of the Apollo spacecraft.


What is an Apollo spacecraft?

The Apollo space craft was three separate parts. There were the crews quarters and flight control, the service module, and the lunar module that took the crew to the moon and back.


What did Apollo control?

Apollo was the god of healing and the sun.


How were Apollo rockets powered?

It really depends on which part of the Apollo spacecraft you're talking about. Different sections used different propellants.The first stage of the Saturn V, the S-1C section, burned RP-1 rocket fuel with LOX (liquid oxygen) as the oxidizer.The Saturn V S-II and S-IVB sections (2nd and 3rd stages) burned LOX and liquid hydrogen.The Apollo Command Module used unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) fuel oxidized by dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O2) for RCS (reaction control system) thrustersThe Service Module used monomethylhydrazine (MMH) oxidized with N2O2 for its RCS attitude thrusters and (UDMH/N2H4) oxidized with N2O2 for the SPS (service propulsion system)The Lunar Module used Aerozine 50 for fuel and N2O4 as oxidizer for the RCS, DPS (descent propulsion) and APS (ascent propulsion) systems


Which Apollo failed the mission?

Apollo 13 had an explosion in the Service Module, forcing them to abort the moon landing, however Mission Control and the crew of Apollo 13 worked very hard and returned the spacecraft back to Earth, becoming NASA's most "successful failure"
