Summary

Description
English: Apollo 17 flight trajectory from liftoff to end of S-IVB first burn.

- Altitude is given above Fischer Ellipsoid.

E.g. at time 400s: EPO altitude 172km = 6545km geocentric distance = 167km above a spherical Earth of radius 6378.1 km

- Gravity (total acceleration) is calculated according to

where = gravity in geocentric distance , = inertial (space fixed) acceleration, = standard gravity on surface
