Since 2012, Plum Brook Station has received about $31 million in annual funding from NASA, most of which comes from the agencys Construction and Environmental Compliance account the budget line reserved for building, maintaining and demolishing infrastructure. The inspector general recommended NASA create a long-term strategy for either maintaining or disposing of underutilized infrastructure at Plum Brook. NASA shelved other major programs, such as a space station and long-duration human journeys to other planets. "[35] In fact, NASA accounted for the cost of Apollo to the US Congress in 1973, totaling US$25.4 billion. Plum Brook Station is testing a new generation of space exploration technologies that are essential for NASA's plans to explore the lunar surface and again land humans on the Moon. Later Apollo missions did not use SSTV. The station isnt typically open to the public, although Open House events have been run in the past, allowing visitors to tour the various facilities. Those who believe the Moon landings were faked offer several theories about the motives of NASA and the United States government. [189][190], A 2000 poll conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation[ru] () in Russia found that 28% of those surveyed did not believe that American astronauts landed on the Moon, and this percentage is roughly equal in all social-demographic groups. The worlds most powerful spacecraft acoustic test chamber, its capable of simulating the noise of a spacecraft launch up to 163 decibels, or as loud as the thrust of 20 jet engines. Moon-landing conspiracists claim that observatories and the Hubble Space Telescope should be able to photograph the landing sites. Plum Brook Station is a test facility for NASA's Glenn Research Center. [123] Senior engineer Dick Nafzger, who was in charge of the live TV recordings during the Apollo missions, was put in charge of the restoration project. This eliminated the near-term need for a nuclear rocket. Lewis management also actively solicited other agencies and institutions to use Plum Brook for their test programs. We will get in touch with you shortly. NASA officials were happy to get the business and hope it will be. Nevertheless, Opration Lune is still taken at face value by some conspiracy believers. Sandusky's Plum Brook Station is an annex to the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, Ohio. However, Kubrick only got this lens for Barry Lyndon (1975). Marcus Allen, a conspiracist, answered that no photos of hardware on the Moon would convince him that human landings had happened. [119] A crude, real-time scan conversion of the SSTV signal was done in Australia before it was broadcast worldwide. 10. Furthermore, most are more than 200 million years older than the oldest Earth rocks. There are, however, a few nonrocket B-2 bookings lined up for 2015. Kubrick also used some 50mm f/0.7 lenses that were left over from a batch made by Zeiss for NASA. Indeed, current plans for a Martian sample return would only gather about 500g (18oz) of soil,[175] and a recently proposed South Pole-Aitken basin robot mission would only gather about 1kg (2.2lb) of Moon rock. [146][147] This thesis was the subject of refutation in an article published on Seeker nearly half a year later.[148]. This included de-energizing electrical systems, deactivating boilers, shutting down gas systems, depressurizing air service, etc. Some claim that the technology to send men to the Moon was lacking or that the Van Allen radiation belts, solar flares, solar wind, coronal mass ejections and cosmic rays made such a trip impossible. Plum Brook is part of the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center and is home to unique world-class facilities that conduct critical and innovative tests for the international aerospace community. Offer subject to change without notice. [132] The Soviet LK lunar lander was tested in uncrewed low-Earth-orbit flights three times in 1970 and 1971. Termination of Plum Brook Activities (1973), Bruce Lundin Talk to Plum Brook Staff (1974), Capabilities and Facilities of Plum Brook (c1970), Potential Use of Plum Brook Facilities (1973), NASA Ohio Preservation Office Agreement (2012). Dan Leone is a SpaceNews staff writer, covering NASA, NOAA and a growing number of entrepreneurial space companies. In 2007 the Cryogenic Components Laboratory replaced K Site. Down in the O&C Building at KSC, the EM-1 Orion spacecraft hardware has almost completed standalone testing. Rep. Kaptur introduced the legislation on a bipartisan basis alongside Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH). "Moon hoax" redirects here. Credit: NASA. [117] The Apollo 11 telemetry tapes were different from the telemetry tapes of the other Moon landings because they contained the raw television broadcast. On the makeup of the Moon rocks, Kaysing asked: "Why was there never a mention of gold, silver, diamonds or other precious metals on the moon? The first was a 100-kW experimental wind turbine at Plum Brook that Lewis researchers erected and operated. Like us on Facebook to get the latest on the world's hidden wonders. [117] suggests that he could have been pressured to agree to the conspiracy to protect himself from recriminations over his past. 4. Maybe they had compromised Kubrick in some way. The program demonstrated several technologies employed by large wind turbines today. The Parkes Observatory in Australia was billed to the world for weeks as the site that would be relaying communications from the first moonwalk. These include the Reverberant Acoustic Test Facility, which is like something from the wildest dreams of Spinal Tap. [32] (See Vietnam War below. Any other potential visits would have to be arranged by contacting Glenn Research Center or Plum Brook directly. Then theres a wind tunnel called the Hypersonic Tunnel facility, which allows NASA to test the aircraft of the future at speeds up to seven times the speed of sound. In a cavernous structure at NASA's Plum Brook Station near Lake Erie, a concrete chamber five stories high rises from the ground. More by Dan Leone. But if the SLS program wants to use B-2 to test that upper stage, it would be expected to cover the estimated $15 million in basic refurbishment costs as well as SLS Program-specific test costs, which could likely be significant, the IG wrote. The centers continued efforts to entice outside groups to utilize the inactive facilities remained ineffective. A total of 6003 participants aged 18-35 years old residing in four major Canadian cities completed an online survey . The fairing is an essential piece of hardware for the Hawthorne, California, companys commercial satellite launches. Located on 6,400 acres in the Lake Erie community of Sandusky, Plum Brook is home to several world-class test facilities, which perform complex and innovative ground tests for the international space community. Kubrick had no such brother the article was a spoof, complete with a giveaway sentence describing Kubrick shooting the moonwalk "on location" on the Moon. The most notable claim is that the six crewed landings (19691972) were faked and that twelve Apollo astronauts did not actually walk on the Moon. By 1975 there were only a handful of NASA employees left at Plum Brook Station to supervise the contractors that maintained the facilities. The many allegations in Kaysing's book effectively began discussion of the Moon landings being faked. [153] In November 2004, they gave a lecture at the Glasgow Science Centre where the top ten claims by conspiracists were individually addressed and refuted.[154]. The test facilities at Plum Brook are separated by large distances to safely support testing of large quantities of gaseous or cryogenic However, five hours before transmission they were told to stand down. [120], In July 2009, NASA indicated that it must have erased the original Apollo 11 Moon footage years ago so that it could re-use the tape. [a][15] Folklorist Linda Dgh suggests that writer-director Peter Hyams' film Capricorn One (1978), which shows a hoaxed journey to Mars in a spacecraft that looks identical to the Apollo craft, might have given a boost to the hoax theory's popularity in the post-Vietnam War era. [151] Oberg said that he meant to finish the book. Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is accused of having produced much of the footage for Apollos 11 and 12, presumably because he had just directed 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is partly set on the Moon and featured advanced special effects. But going to the Moon would be risky and expensive, as exemplified by President John F. Kennedy famously stating in a 1962 speech that the United States chose to go because it was hard. It is argued that, because the USSR was unable to do this, the United States should have also been unable to develop the technology to do so.

Many computers at the time were very large despite poor specs. In 2004 NASA began funding the demolition of unused facilities across the agency. In 1965, the United States started to achieve many firsts (such as the first successful space rendezvous), which were important steps in a mission to the Moon. After a three-year search, the "inescapable conclusion" was that about 45 tapes (estimated 15 tapes recorded at each of the three tracking stations) of Apollo 11 video were erased and re-used, said Nafzger. Meanwhile, prospects are even worse for three of Plum Brooks other major testing facilities. Moon landing conspiracy theoriesclaim that some or all elements of the Apollo programand the associated Moon landingswere hoaxesstaged by NASA, possibly with the aid of other organizations. The fact that his brother, Raul Kubrick, was the head of the American Communist Party may have been one of the avenues pursued by the government to get Stanley to cooperate. In this image, the Earth is lit by moonlight, not sunlight. [115][116] Apollo 11 data tapes containing telemetry and the high-quality video (before scan conversion from slow-scan TV to standard TV) of the first moonwalk are also missing. 1. However, still photos of the original SSTV image are available (see photos). NASA's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio is now the A Fraud! [151], In 2004, Martin Hendry and Ken Skeldon of the University of Glasgow were awarded a grant by the UK-based Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council to investigate Moon landing conspiracy theories. ", "End of Conspiracy Theories? [137] Conspiracy theorists claim that the computers during the time of the Moon landings would not have been advanced enough to allow for human space travel to the Moon and back;[138] they similarly claim that other contemporary technology (radio transmission, radar, and other instrumentation) was likewise insufficient for the task.[139]. [113] Parkes had a bigger antenna than NASA's antenna in Australia at the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station, so it received a better picture. The documentary reinvigorated the public's interest in conspiracy theories and the possibility that the Moon landings were faked, which has provoked NASA to once again defend its name. There are identical backgrounds in photos which, according to their captions, were taken miles apart. [142] The fact sheet is particularly blunt and regards the idea of faking the Moon landings to be preposterous and outlandish. He earned a bachelors degree in public communications from the American University in Washington. Analyses by scientists worldwide all agree that these rocks came from the Moon no published accounts in peer-reviewed scientific journals exist that dispute this claim. [140][141] All of the deaths occurred at least 20 months before Apollo 11 and subsequent flights. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you . He described the emergence of the atomic age and the weapons of mass destruction that were piling up in the storehouses of the American and Soviet nations. NASA agreed, and, in a letter appended to the audit report, said it would present the strategy in a report to Krista Paquin, associate administrator for mission support, in September. Consider supporting our work by becoming a member for as little as $5 a month. [46][47] To date, nobody from the United States government or NASA linked to the Apollo program has said the Moon landings were hoaxes. The leading candidate at this point, the IG wrote, is NASAs Space Launch System. Moon Landings? NASA Glenn Research Center's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, houses the world's largest, most powerful space environment simulation facilities, most powerful spacecraft acoustic test chamber, and highest capacity and most powerful spacecraft shaker system. It also received a better picture than NASA's antenna at Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex. Get top stories, military space news and more delivered to your inbox. In June 1977, NASA issued a fact sheet responding to recent claims that the Apollo Moon landings had been hoaxed. M113751661L", "Apollo Moon flags still standing, images show", "American Flags From Apollo Missions Still Standing", "The Flat-out Truth: Earth Orbits? The conspiracy would have to involve more than 400,000 people who worked on the Apollo project for nearly ten years, the 12 men who walked on the Moon, the 6 others who flew with them as command module pilots, and another 6 astronauts who orbited the Moon. The steady reduction of NASAs budget in the late 1960s and early 1970s coincided with the agencys decision to develop the space shuttle. [124] In time for the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, Lowry Digital had been tasked with restoring the surviving footage. The fact sheet was reissued on February 14, 2001, the day before Fox television's broadcast of Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? Photos of the Moon have been taken by Hubble, including at least two Apollo landing sites, but the Hubble resolution limits viewing of lunar objects to sizes no smaller than 5569m (6075yd), which is insufficient resolution to see any landing site features.[156]. The foremost idea is that the whole crewed landing program was a hoax from start to end. 2. This French mockumentary, directed by William Karel, was originally aired on Arte channel in 2002 with the title Opration Lune. The photos were taken by a hyperspectral camera fitted as part of the mission's image payload. Follow us on Twitter to get the latest on the world's hidden wonders. Here, highly specialized facilities allow NASA and the international space community to carry out complex and innovative ground tests. Plum Brook Station is the 2590 hectare (6400 acre) field station of NASA Glenn Research Center. Only about 30kg (66lb) of lunar meteorites have been found on Earth thus far, despite private collectors and governmental agencies worldwide searching for more than 20 years.[174]. Typical delays in communication were about 0.5 seconds. The second stage of the launch rocket or the Lunar Module ascent stage or both made no visible flame. Why was this fact never dicussed [sic] in the press or by the astronauts? The exception is that of Apollo 11, which has lain on the lunar surface since being blown over by the Lunar Module Ascent Propulsion System. These beautiful wineries were at the center of Lake Erie's "grape belt" back when the Midwest dominated American wine production. During the period 1961 to 1972, at least eight Soviet serving and former cosmonauts died: Additionally, the overall chief of their crewed-spaceflight program, Sergei Korolev, died while undergoing surgery in January 1966. Technically, this allowed the mothballed test stands to be reactivated within 3 months. A-3 was to be the high-altitude test site for the mothballed J-2X upper-stage engine, designed to power the Ares 5 cargo launcher canceled along with Constellation. According to James Longuski, the conspiracy theories are impossible because of their size and complexity. There are no stars in any of the photos; the Apollo 11 astronauts also stated in post-mission press conferences that they did not remember seeing any stars during extravehicular activity (EVA). By the time of Apollo 11, the United States had a lead much wider than that. [133][134] For example, in 1973, one year after the final Moon landing, the Xerox Alto was released. Much third-party evidence for the landings exists, and detailed rebuttals to the hoax claims have been made. Motivation for the United States to engage the Soviet Union in a Space Race can be traced to the then on-going Cold War. "[16] In A Man on the Moon,[17] first published in 1994, Andrew Chaikin mentions that at the time of Apollo 8's lunar-orbit mission in December 1968,[18] similar conspiracy ideas were already in circulation.[19]. Page Editor: Robert Arrighi [160] The telescope was used to image the Moon and provided a resolution of 130 meters (430ft), which was not good enough to resolve the 4.2 meters (14ft) wide lunar landers or their long shadows.[161]. Not to be confused with, Claimed motives of the United States and NASA, In 1968, Clarke and Kubrick had collaborated on the film. In the 1970s the center expanded the scope of its work into new areas, such as renewable energy sources. On this page: Plum Brook Station Closure Standby Years Demolition of the Sites Baron was a quality control inspector who wrote a report critical of the Apollo program and was an outspoken critic of NASA's safety record after the Apollo 1 fire. Of special concern to the IG is Plum Brooks B-2 Spacecraft Propulsion Research Facility, a cavernous vacuum chamber built in 1964 and used to test-fire rocket engines in space-like conditions. ESA now is planning to build a test stand in Europe to accommodate such tests, the IG wrote. Conspiracists see this as evidence that they never existed. Their flight paths were tracked using radar and they were sighted and photographed using telescopes. In December 1972 NASA canceled all of its nuclear propulsion and power programs, resulting in the closure of Plum Brook Station [today, the Neil Armstrong Test Facility]. David Scott drops a hammer and feather on the Moon, 1. In the 2010s NASA demolished the Rocket Systems Area as part of the agencys effort to eliminate its unused structures. In even worse shape is Plum Brooks Combined Effects Chamber, which was designed for large-scale experiments with liquid hydrogen, but never used. Parkes supposedly had the clearest video feed from the Moon, but Australian media and all other known sources ran a live feed from the United States. As a result, Lewis partnered with the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) to construct a series of experimental large horizontal axis wind turbines. Blueprints and design and development drawings of the machines involved are missing. The number of photos taken is implausibly high. We hypothesized that (a) endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy theories is positively associated with support for VR, and (b) psychological distress modifies the relationship between COVID-19 conspiracy theories and support for VR. The evidence was noticed by Misha Kreslavsky, of the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown University, and Yuri Shkuratov of the Kharkiv Astronomical Observatory in Ukraine. The digital technology on Earth during the time of the Moon landings was just in its infancy. Mass media have a terrible impact on people who lack guidance. [194] Another poll gives that 25% of 18- to 25-year-olds surveyed were unsure that the landings happened. The B-2 Spacecraft Propulsion Research Facility had last been used in 1998, and both the Hypersonic Test Facility and the Cryogenic Components Laboratory hadnt been used in four years. The quality of the photographs is implausibly high. [183], In a 1994 poll by The Washington Post, 9% of the respondents said that it was possible that astronauts did not go to the Moon and another 5% were unsure.

On this page: Acoustics Facilities Combustion Facilities Components Facilities The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) is leading the design and build of the new world-class vibroacoustic test capabilities at the NASA GRC's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA. Plum Brooks newest addition, the Combined Effects Chamber, which was designed to simulate the conditions found on the surface of the Moon or Mars, had never been used. Lewis reactivated the B2 vacuum chamber in 1987, SPF and K Site in 1988, and the HTF in 1993. The reactor first went critical on 14 June 1961, and was finally shut down on 5 January 1973. Lewis set up a job placement office at Plum Brook to assist those affected. Short-exposure photo of the International Space Station (ISS) taken from Space Shuttle Atlantis in February 2008 during STS-122 one of many photos taken in space where no stars are visible, Earth and Mir in June 1995 an example of how sunlight can outshine the stars, making them invisible, Long-exposure photo taken from the Moon's surface by Apollo 16 astronauts using the Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph. Engineers at NASA's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, began the first of a series of modal tests on a structural representation of the crew module adapter (CMA) for Orion. The combination of the Lewis Field and Plum Brook locations comprise over 6,800 acres of land and include 450 research and test facilities. Nevertheless, the claim was taken up in earnest;[144] Clyde Lewis used it almost word-for-word,[143] whereas Jay Weidner gave the brother a more senior status within the party: No one knows how the powers-that-be convinced Kubrick to direct the Apollo landings. The NASA Space Environmental Test (SET) Project is tasked to develop new environmental test facilities to support NASA's developing space exploration program. The most notable claim is that the six crewed landings (1969-1972)were faked and that twelve Apollo astronautsdid not actually walk on the Moon. Some main arguments (set in plain text) and counter-arguments (set in italics) are listed below. Experimental efforts included scientific and technical investigations of nuclear energy for spaceflight propulsion, nuclear power systems, and radiation exposure. 5. [38] The counter-argument generally given is that NASA in fact did incur a great deal of public humiliation and potential political opposition to the program by losing an entire crew in the Apollo 1 fire during a ground test, leading to its upper management team being questioned by Senate and House of Representatives space oversight committees. The Daily Telegraph published a story in 2002 saying that European astronomers at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) would use it to view the landing sites. The Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility (formerly known as Plum Brook Station) is part of NASA's Glenn Research Center in Ohio. Neither the Atomic Energy Commission nor NASA Lewis had been given any indication that the nuclear propulsion program would be cancelled until the budget was officially announced on January 5, 1973. This direct TV signal, along with telemetry data, was recorded onto one-inch fourteen-track analog tape at Parkes. The Apollo samples are easily distinguishable from both meteorites and Earth rocks[6] in that they show a lack of hydrous alteration products, they show evidence of having undergone impact events on an airless body, and they have unique geochemical traits. [117][118], Dr. David R. Williams (NASA archivist at Goddard Space Flight Center) and Apollo 11 flight director Eugene F. Kranz both acknowledged that the original high-quality Apollo 11 telemetry data tapes are missing. It was also used to shoot some scenes from the 2012 Marvel movie The Avengers. On the demolition front, although Plum Brook has torn down 18 buildings and structures since 2012 reducing the annual maintenance costs in the process there is still a backlog of repairs Glenn has put off at the Sandusky campus because it does not have the roughly $55 million it would cost to undertake them, according to the IG. NASA's Nuclear Frontier: The Plum Brook Reactor Facility, 1941-2002 In 1953, President Eisenhower delivered a speech called "Atoms for Peace" to the United Nations General Assembly. NASA said that von Braun's mission was "to look into environmental and logistic factors that might relate to the planning of future space missions, and hardware. [33] Since most conspiracists believe that sending men to the Moon was impossible at the time,[34] they argue that landings had to be faked to fulfill Kennedy's 1961 goal, "before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. Plum Brook Station is located about eight miles from Sandusky, Ohio. [128] Three of them were carried to the Moon on Apollos 15, 16, and 17, used by the astronauts for transportation once on the Moon, and left there. The fate of the other facilities will largely depend on the whims of politicians and humankinds continued desire to reach beyond our planet. A street in front of NASA's D.C. headquarters has been named in honor of the Black women who were essential to early spaceflight. 2. The lens was originally a still photo lens and needed changes to be used for motion filming. A propulsion engine testbed that paved the way for the Space Shuttle launch sits without recognition at this rocket center. [11], Vince Calder and Andrew Johnson, scientists from Argonne National Laboratory, have given detailed answers to conspiracists' claims on the laboratory's website. [150], In 2002, NASA granted US$15,000 to James Oberg for a commission to write a point-by-point rebuttal of the hoax claims. The deaths were an accident. 8. The CMA will connect the capsule to the ESA (European Space Agency)-provided service module for the spacecraft's next mission, Exploration Mission-1. [195], There are subcultures worldwide which advocate the belief that the Moon landings were faked. The B-2 test facility is located at Plum Brook Station, in Sandusky, Ohio. Bart Sibrel cites the relative level of the United States and USSR space technology as evidence that the Moon landings could not have happened. Plum Brook is part of the Glenn Research Center, located some 80 kilometers east in Cleveland. Wasn't this a viable consideration? [6], An early and influential book about the subject of a Moon-landing conspiracy, We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle, was self-published in 1976 by Bill Kaysing, a former US Navy officer with a Bachelor of Arts in English. 7. The 'real landing' hypothesis is a single story since it comes from a single source, but there is no unity in the hoax hypothesis because hoax accounts vary between conspiracists.[45]. [36], Mary Bennett and David Percy claimed in the 2001 book Dark Moon: Apollo and the Whistle-Blowers, that, with all the known and unknown hazards,[37] NASA would not risk broadcasting an astronaut getting sick or dying on live television. [143] It has been claimed that when 2001 was in post-production in early 1968, NASA secretly approached Kubrick to direct the first three Moon landings. Nafzger praised Lowry for restoring "crispness" to the Apollo video, which will remain in black and white and contains conservative digital enhancements. Instead, far from calling the landings a hoax, the third edition (19701979) of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia (which was translated into English between 1974 and 1983 by Macmillan Publishers, and was later made available online by TheFreeDictionary.com[22]) contained many articles reporting the landings as factual, such as its article on Neil Armstrong. [191][192][193] In 2009, a poll held by the United Kingdom's Engineering & Technology magazine found that 25% of those surveyed did not believe that men landed on the Moon. The center did not bring the Rocket Systems Area sites, which had fallen into disrepair during the interim, back online. See. Today, a handful of test facilities are currently operational at Plum Brook, all of which rank among the largest and most powerful space environment simulation facilities in the world.
