Article of the month

The Apollo Abort Guidance System (AGS, also known as Abort Guidance Section) was a backup computer system providing an abort capability in the event of failure of the Lunar Module's primary guidance system (Apollo PGNCS) during descent, ascent or rendezvous. As an abort system, it did not support guidance for a lunar landing.

The AGS was designed by TRW independently of the development of the Apollo Guidance Computer and PGNCS.

It was the first navigation system to use a strapdown Inertial Measurement Unit rather than a gimbaled gyrostabilized IMU (as used by PGNCS). Although not as accurate as the gimbaled IMU, it provided satisfactory accuracy with the help of the optical telescope and rendezvous radar. It was also lighter and smaller in size.

Falcon 9 Full Thrust

Starting development in 2014, the Falcon 9 Full Thrust is a variant of the Falcon 9 that is the first orbital rocket to have a first stage successfully land vertically after launch. The stage shown here is from the April 2016 SpaceX CRS-8 mission, after landing on the autonomous spaceport drone ship Of Course I Still Love You.

Stop closing discussions

[edit]

Hey Redacted, your repeated closure of discussions at Talk:Space sunshade#Second merge proposal are not appropriate. Have a look here for how discussions should be closed Wikipedia:Closing discussions. Please stop doing it or I will have to report you. Thanks! {{u|Gtoffoletto}}talk 17:15, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Closing discussions#Challenging other closures Redacted II (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Also, your repeated unclosure is borderline edit warring) Redacted II (talk) 17:25, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redacted you are pretty wrong on this.
  1. I did not reopen the discussion. I wrote underneath it that it should be reopened and at least another user agrees.
  2. the closing editor himself has acknowledged that he shouldn't have closed it as an involved editor ( @Chidgk1 do you agree?)
  3. you are edit warring by inappropriately closing my discussion multiple times despite my message here
I will ask you to self revert your third inappropriate closure of my discussion or I will be forced to report you for disruptive editing. I hope you can stop this unnecessary behaviour and let the discussion play out as other editors have asked you to do. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}talk 17:34, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
When did I close it after it?
If I accidentally did that as part of readding the auotarchive I'll go fix that. Redacted II (talk) 17:36, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nowhere in my last edit to that page did I reclose that: [1] for the diff.
I've only closed it twice: [2], [3], both of which were before you sent a message here. Redacted II (talk) 17:40, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. You are right of course. I misread the diff of your revert. See you on the talk page! {{u|Gtoffoletto}}talk 17:42, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
