"Apollo 11 LM Powered Descent (Site 2)," diagram, NASA/MSC/FOD Mission Planning and Analysis Division, June 27, 1969, 22 by 17 inches. Signed "Buzz Aldrin, July 20, 1969." A highly detailed diagram illustrating the complex flight maneuvers required by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to land safely on the surface of the moon. The upper part features the full descent profile of Lunar Module Eagle starting with the fuel tank ullage before PDI, the start of PDI, throttle to full power, the rotation to crew windows up, and the LM "high gate" point. The approach phase and the landing phase are the lower side graphs, with altitude versus range to the landing point plotted. Each has the view expected from Armstrong’s window and the descent path angles, radar view angles, and elapsed time into the engine burn. A smaller graph provides abort information. A summary table cross references landing events with the associated elapsed time, forward velocity, H and H dot parameters.
