Can anyone tell me when the cover for the Science Instrument Module (SIM) bay was released on the Apollo service module during the J missions flights? I thought I read it was before the undocking for lunar landing but I am not sure. |

The service module Scientific Instrument Module door was jettisoned about 4 hours before the spacecraft entered lunar orbit.15-SCOTT: Felt a little shudder, but not too much.16-YOUNG: Okay Houston, that was a pretty good bang. 17-EVANS: Boy, we got a good bang out of it. You could hear that - that pyro going, I think. |

There is some Apollo 17 SIM Bay door jettison footage on 16mm Magazine BB. Has anyone seen that? I have seen the Apollo 16 footage. |

Sorry it's a little blurry, but here is side 1 from my SIM Bay cue card from Apollo 17. It does not specifically answer your question (clearly the covers referenced here are equipment specific), but it hopefully will give you some idea of what was going on. You'll notice pre and post SPS burn preps at the bottom. |
