The Apollo 11 mission succeeded in landing on the moon despite two computer-related problems that affected the Lunar Module during the powered descent. An uncorrected problem in the rendezvous radar interface stole approximately 13% of the computer's duty cycle, resulting in five program alarms and software restarts. In a less well-known problem, caused by erroneous data, the thrust of the LM's descent engine fluctuated wildly because the throttle control algorithm was only marginally stable.
This video shows how the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing occurred.
Our CanSat landing will also take pictures of the landing. We will use this pictures to make a 3D map of the landing zone. As you can imagine, we cannot make a 3D map with just one camera, so we will use two cameras, placed in each side of the CanSat. The cameras will be moved out of the CanSat just in the moment it comes out of the rocket. We hope we will take a better video than the Apollo's one.
