Apollo 10

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the United States Apollo space program, and the second (after Apollo 8) to orbit the Moon. Launched on May 18, 1969, it was the F mission: a "dress rehearsal" for the first Moon landing, testing all of the components and procedures, just short of actually landing. The Lunar Module (LM) followed a descent orbit to within 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km) of the lunar surface, at the point where powered descent for landing would normally begin. Its success enabled the first landing to be attempted on the Apollo 11 mission two months later.

According to the 2002 Guinness World Records, Apollo 10 set the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle: 39,897 km/h (11.08 km/s or 24,791 mph) on May 26, 1969, during the return from the Moon.

Apollo 10 was Moon Landing Rehearsal, EFT-1 Preps for Trips Beyond


By Bob Granath

NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla.


The mission put NASA's flight controllers and extensive tracking and control network through a rehearsal. Except for the touchdown on the moon, the mission went exactly as a landing would have gone, both in space and on the ground.

Splashdown occurred in the Pacific Ocean on May 26, 1969, with the astronauts and spacecraft recovered by the aircraft carrier USS Princeton. While all lunar missions entered the atmosphere at similar speeds, Apollo 10 set the record for the highest velocity attained to date by a piloted vehicle at 24,791 mph during the return from the moon.
