I've been less than perfectly clear on the process of getting the Apollo PLSS (Portable Life Support System) backpacks discarded and left behind on the lunar surface, and assume it must've gone something like this: - Astronauts ingress LM after final EVA, pressurize, have a rest period;
- Connect LM life support hoses to repress pressure suits before depressing the LM and kicking or shoving PLSS units and whatever else they wished to leave behind out the opened hatch;
- Close hatch, repress LM, and bon voyage
Also assume Lunar Module (LM)-Command and Service Module (CSM) rendezvous was performed with both LM cabin and pressure suits pressurized?How'd I do? Thanks. | |
