Lunar module near miss detailed by ground control
Ground control reports that a switch misalignment caused the lunar module to point its radar away from the command ship, placing it off target before the ascent engine firing. Astronauts then corrected automatically and manually, with Gene Cernan exclaiming delight after the burn. Additional issues included a bulky oxygen vent and rendezvous radar trouble during a brief misalignment of the combined craft.
