/ orbiterfilmmaker • Facebook. Advances, pictures, details, comments. • -- Original version uploaded on March 23, 2009 -- • An Orbiter addon based on the novel Voyage by Stephen Baxter. Voyage is an alternative-history narrative in which the US President Richard Nixon makes a fateful decision in 1972 - to abandon the Shuttle program and concentrate all efforts on a manned landing on Mars. • On March 21 1986, astronauts Phil Stone (commander), Natalie York (specialist) and Ralph Gershon (MEM pilot) launch on the Saturn VB - a Saturn upgraded with the addition of solid-rocket boosters which allows it to loft double the mass of the original Saturn V. After a Venus swingby on September 8, they complete a 368 day outward voyage to finally land on Mars on March 28, 1986. • MISSION ARES OPERATIONS • 1: LAUNCH • March 21, 1985. The Ares Mission Stack is launched on a Saturn VB. • 2: ORBIT • The Mission Stack makes rendezvous with the Propulsion Stack and the two dock. • 3: VENUS TRANSFER • The whole stack will begin the Venus transfer, but before the end of the burn, with two-thirds of fuel expended, the External Tanks will be jettisoned. • 4: TRANSIT RECONFIGURATION • With the stack on the way to Venus, the Apollo CSM - christened Discovery by the Ares crew - is broken out and docked nose-first to the AAMM - christened Endeavour . • 5: VENUS FLYBY • september 8, 1985. The stack flies by Venus to receive a slingshot assist. The crew deploy an atmospheric probe to investigate the Venusian atmosphere. • 6: MARS TRANSFER • Any necessary corrections are made before settling in for the six-month remaining voyage. • 7. MARS ORBIT INJECTION • March 25, 1986. The stack brakes into the Martian orbit. • 8. MARS ORBIT RECONFIGURATION • With the Apollo undocked, the AAMM is detached and turned around to dock nose-first with the stack. This frees the MEM, which is released from its fairings and docked to the AAMM. • • 9. MARS DESCENT AND LANDING • The crew occupy the MEM and descend for a landing at Mangala Valles. The MEM christened Challenger by the Ares crew. • • 10. MARS SURFACE OPS • For a month, the crew explore Mars in a series of EVAs. There is a three-day preparatory period to allow the crew to adjust to Mars gravity after a year in weightlessness. • 11. ASCENT AND RENDEZVOUS • April 26, 1986. The MEM ascent stage lifts off from Mars and docks with the Ares stack in Mars orbit. • • 12. UNLOADING AND RECONFIGURATION • The crew unload the MEM and then jettison it. The stack is reassembled without the MEM. • 13. EARTH RETURN TRANSFER • The stack begins the burn for Earth transfer, jettisoning the MS-II propulsion module to continue with the ERS stage. A 196-day return journey follows. • • 14. EARTH ORBIT INSERTION • November 6, 1986. The stack, now reduced to Apollo, AAMM and ERS, brakes into Earth orbit. • • 15. RE-ENTRY AND RECOVERY • The Apollo-CSM module detaches, deorbits and re-enters for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. The crew is recovered. • Music: Montage #5 (Hans Zimmer - Modern Warfare 2 Videogame Score)
