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

The Command Module (CM) had an additional 12.

How many thrusters did the Apollo 11 have?

Apollo 11 had a total of five main thrusters on the Lunar Module, known as the Lunar Module Descent Engine (LMDE), which was used for landing on the Moon. Additionally, it had eight smaller thrusters for attitude control and maneuvering. The Command Module also had its own set of thrusters for orbital maneuvers and re-entry. Overall, the entire Apollo spacecraft system included multiple thrusters to ensure precise control during various phases of the mission.


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.


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


Who was the captain of mission control in Apollo 13?

The captain of mission control for Apollo 13 was Commander James. A. Lovell.


What was the control centre which Apollo 11 took in?

The control center that Apollo 11 took off from was Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, oversaw the mission once it was in space.

What is the engine in Orion spacecraft?

The Orion spacecraft is equipped with the Space Launch System (SLS) for its launch, but within the spacecraft itself, it utilizes the Orion Service Module, which is powered by a European Space Agency (ESA) built service module that includes a main engine based on the Apollo program's J-2 engine. This engine is designed for deep space missions and provides the necessary propulsion for maneuvers beyond low Earth orbit. Additionally, Orion has auxiliary thrusters for attitude control and orbital maneuvers.

Is Lunar Spacecraft capitalized?

The proper names of the Apollo Program's spacecraft, and as such should be capitalized, are: Apollo Command Module (abbreviated CM) Apollo Service Module (abbreviated SM) Apollo Lunar Module (abbreviated LM) Note that when the CM and SM are joined, they become a single spacecraft known as the Apollo Command/Service Module, or CSM.
