Show W m i P"P n i i mu i hi n DESERET 0 CAPE KENNEDY, FLA. I wouldn't give you (AP) two dollars a day for a room in it. But it's designed to land us on the moon. That's Air Force Lt Col. James A. McDivitt describing the fragile lunar module which he will help test in the Apollo 9 flight scheduled to start from Cape Kennedy Feb. 28. McDivitt will command the flight. With him will be Air Force Lt. Col. David R. Scott and civilian astronaut Russell L. Schweickart. They are to orbit the earth for 10 days in one of the most complex man in space flights yet attempted. Many rate it tougher than the Apollo 8 moon orbit mission. The major goal, McDivitt said, is to give the lunar module, called a LEM, its first manned test in space. The LEM looks like a giant bug, like something you might find crawling around the pipes in your basement. It has an entirely different mission an any other spacecraft has ever had. Other spacecraft had to withstand Gs, earth landing with parachutes and had a pretty rough environment to lit e in. "The LEM isn't like that, he said, It is not designed to When you put the LEM and command module together you have a pretty big mass the atmosphere or make hard landings. It will fly only in the vacuum of space and not in any atmosphere. It is intended to make a soft landing on the moon. When Apollo 9 is launched by a Saturn 5 rocket, McDivitt, Scott and Schweickart will ride in the main Apollo ship, with the LEM resting in an adapter section between the third stage and the spaceshi . Once in orbit 118 miles high, the astronauts separate the main ship, called a command module, and turn around to dock with the LEM, pulling it free on the third stage. y about weighing 90,000 pounds, McDivitt said. It's a completely new guidance task from what we experienced on Apollo 7 and Audio 8. Our job on Apollo 9 i' to prove in earth orbit hat we can actually fly this gigantic mass to the moon, stop it there and perform a lunar landing with the LEM. Ours is a very complex flight because we are flying two vehicles for the first time, and on the fourth day theyll be as much as 100 miles ol S apart, with two men in the LEM and one in the command module. McDivitt said that on die second day he and Schweick art will crawl through a connecting tunnel into the LEM and activate its systems. On the tnird day, Schweickart is to step outside the LEM for a pace walk during which hell evaluate two-ho- the suit that later astronauts w ill wear while strolling on the moon. On the fourth day, McDivitt and Schweickart will separate the LEM from the command module and fly to a point 109 miles away. Then theyll start NEWS Wednesday, A7 February 19 Mine Hearings Set a tricky rendezvous exercise to return to a linkup with Scott. The rendezvous will simulate as closely as possible that which wdll be made by two LEM astronauts when they leave the moon to catch up with the command module pilot who has been croiting while theyve been exploring below. I guess ou'd probably cll this the most critical phase of the Apollo 9 mission," McDivitt said. The LEM has no heat shield and no tether so it the atmosphere. can't It's essential that the LEM returns to the command module in order to pet horne." WASHINGTON (UPI)-R- ep.
