9.0 OPERATIONAL CHECKS
9.1 Apollo Landmark Identification (D-6)
McDivitt
White
The equipment we carried onboard the space­
craft really didn't apply exactly to D-6 .
We
didn't have a Questar lens .
The 200 mm lens that
we carried did not have the periscope mounting
for it. It did not have any way you could
aim it with a telescope , so the only aiming
device that we had onboard the spacecraft was the
gunsight mounted in the left hand window.
The cameras that we used for this experiment
were the 16 mm movie camera with.:5 mm telephoto
lens on it and the fixed mounted 35 mm Contarex
with the 200 mm lAns .
The fixed mounted Contarex
was in the right-hand window, and the 16 mm camera
was in the left-hand window.
It was kind of interesting since we were in
free drift, and they told us to go ahead
and run a tracking task. But the first one that
I ran was Apollo Run No . 1, which was over the
junction of the Blue Nile and the White Nile in
the middle of the delta of the Nile River.
