Potential collision or accidental recontact problems between the spacecraft and other space vehicles (or components) existed during most of the Apollo missions. These problems were identified before each Apollo flight, and appropriate solutions for eliminating or minimizing the chance of collision were determined through relative motion analyses. A summary of the identification, solution, and analysis process for some of the more significant of these separation problems is presented. In addition, the scope of responsibility, the development of the study effort, and the computer simulation development, which supported the analysis process, are described. (Author)
