Apollo 15 was the first mission to carry the LRV, or Lunar Rover Vehicle, sometimes nicknamed the Moon Buggy.

How did the astronauts on Apollo 11 go to the toilet?

The astronauts on Apollo 11 used a urine collection device with a hose attached to expel waste into a tank. They also used fecal collection bags for solid waste, which were sealed and disposed of upon returning to Earth.


How did Apollo 13 astronauts fix the problem of the oxygen leaking?

The Apollo 13 astronauts fixed the problem of the oxygen leak by improvising a makeshift filter using materials they had available on the spacecraft. They used duct tape, a sock, and other materials to create a device that helped remove carbon dioxide from the air, allowing them to conserve enough oxygen to survive the journey back to Earth.


The device astronauts used to study extremely weak moonquakes was a?

seisometer.


How did the Apollo 11 spacecraft work?

Did Apollo 11 have computers on board, and if so what kind of computers were they and how big were they? Yes, both the ship and lander had small, special purpose computers. I don't know how large they were but I remember seeing a web page in which hobbyists were building duplicates, complete with the actual software used in the real computers. IIRC they fitted the whole thing into a vairly small space, like an end table. The specs of the computers did not amount to much, but you need to remember that all of the real number crunching was done on mainframes on Earth, and the results radioed up to the astronauts, who input them manually through a device called the DSKY or "disky". It is short for Display/Keyboard, and you are looking at a descendant of it right now!


What is a space rover?

A space rover is a portable labratory used to explore the moon and other planets. The Soviet Union sent up the first unmanned Rover, Lunokhod 1, which landed on the Moon in the Sea of Rains on November 17 at 03:47 UTC. The lander had dual ramps from which the payload, Lunokhod 1, could descend to the lunar surface. At 06:28 UT the rover moved onto the Moon's surface. Lunokhod 1 was a lunar vehicle formed of a tub-like compartment with a large convex lid on eight independently powered wheels. Its length was 2.3 meters (7ft7in). Lunokhod was equipped with a cone-shaped antenna, a highly directional helical antenna, four television cameras, and special extendable devices to test the lunar soil for soil density and mechanical property tests. An X-ray spectrometer, an X-ray telescope, cosmic ray detectors, and a laser device were also included. The vehicle was powered by batteries which were recharged during the lunar day by a solar cell array mounted on the underside of the lid. To be able to work in vacuum a special fluoride based lubricant was used for the mechanical parts and the electric motors (one in each wheel hub) were enclosed in pressurized containers. Most unmanned rovers operate in much the same way asLunokhod 1 did. The last 3 Apollo missions(Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17) each carried aRover tocarry astronauts and equipment several miles from the Lunar Module. The Apollo 14 astronauts were the last astronauts to walk the entire time they were on the moon. Their mission was to walk approximately 1.2 miles up a slight slope to the rim of Cone Crater. It took them so long to get up there and they were so exhausted once they got there that they only had about 15 minutes to take pictures and gather samples. They came within 60 feet of the rim, but never found the actual rim of Cone Crater. During the last 3 Apollo moon landings, with the help of the Rover, the astronauts were able to drive as far away as7 miles with no problems.

What is the device that measured Surface brightness?

A photometer is a device used to measure surface brightness. It detects and quantifies the amount of light emitted by a surface, typically in astronomy to measure the brightness of stars and galaxies.

What is surface leakage current?

Undesired current flow across the surface of a semiconductor device due to contamination of that surface. This disturbs the operation of the device and causes a variety of failures. Insulators can also have surface leakage current for similar reasons.

How do female astronauts urinate in space?

Female astronauts use a funnel-shaped device called a “urine collection device” to urinate in space. This device helps to funnel the urine into a tube that can be connected to the spacecraft's waste management system. Gravity is not present in space so the urine needs to be contained and managed carefully to avoid any potential issues.
