Table 5-9 ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE APOLLO 11 DPS PROPELLANT BUDGET 1. Integrated average Isp = 301.9 ±3.54 seconds 2. LM separation weight = 33746. lb 3. Mixture ratio = 1.596 ±0.0108 4. Nominal ∆V = 6728.6 ±96 fps 5. Non-∆V consumables of 47.4 lb from separation to DOI and 106.1 lb from DOI to touchdown. ASCENT PROPULSION SYSTEM PROPELLANT BUDGET ASCENT PROPULSION SUBSYSTEM (APS) Tables 5-10 and 5-11 present the ascent propellant budget for the current mission. Propellant loads are those actually on LM-5. Mission ∆V was coordinated with LAB in MPAD. The budget shown in table 5-10 accounts for an engine valve-pair malfunction, a PGNCS to AGS switchover, and a touchdown abort. There is a total propellant margin of 68 lb or about 6 seconds of burn time.
