Lunar Rendezvous Abort Mission Techniques meeting

See list belowMAR 3 196868-PA-T-51APA/Chief, Apollo Data Priority CoordinationLunar Rendezvous Abort Mission Techniques meeting

1. As you know, a great deal of work had been done on lunar abort rendezvous throughout the Center. This note is to inform you of a Data Priority Coordination meeting on this subject on March 28, 1968, in Building 3, Room 966. I expect it will take most of the day.

2. What we are interested in determining is what are the ground and crew procedures based on the current rendezvous abort plan. The first part of the meeting will be devoted to a review of abort plans from any part of the descent trajectory, both coasting and powered flight, and from the lunar surface. Of course, it involves LM active, and command module active and in some cases both vehicles active. We are particularly interested in establishing those procedures associated with lunar abort rendezvous which must be included in the nominal timeline. For example, targeting of the CSM to perform LM rescue maneuvers prior to the abort situation and targeting of the LM on the lunar surface for lift off on a CSM revolution earlier than planned.
