This site is an collection of articles and analyzes I've authored on over the years related to the Apollo moon missions. These works grew from discussions at the ApolloHoax Web Forum. The goal of the forum is to use factual information to counter the claims that the Apollo moon landings were faked. Having some expertise in the subjects of rocketry and orbital mechanics, as well as having good knowledge of Apollo history, I've been able to make several contributions to that goal.

The information below first appeared, in some form, in the pages of the forum. Here I've gathered and reformatted the original works for archival and easy access. Since the claims of conspiracy theorists keep resurfacing time and time again, it won't be long before some of these topics are revisited.

An estimate of the volume of lunar soil displaced by the lunar module's descent engine during landing.

Report on the results of a computer simulation to model the ascent of Apollo 11's Saturn V launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral to Earth orbit. Also includes a calculation of translunar injection.

Report on the results of a computer simulation to model the descent of Apollo 17's lunar module from lunar orbit to the surface of the Moon.

Report on the results of a computer simulation to model the ascent of Apollo 17's lunar module from the surface of the Moon to lunar orbit.

Derives the orbital elements of, calculates the position of, and illustrates in multiple views, Apollo 11's translunar trajectory. Also includes an analysis of the spacecraft's exposure to the Van Allen Radiation Belts.

Animated graphical representation of a computer simulated hybrid lunar profile with lunar orbit insertion and transearth injection.

Animated graphical representation of a computer simulated circumlunar free return trajectory.

Two animations showing Apollo 11's translunar trajectory through the region of the Van Allen Radiation Belts.

Shows that cloud patterns in Apollo 11 TV transmissions and photographs matches the historical record of precipitation across the United States at the same time.
