Blue Moon (WIP name)
A timeline where Britain are the first on the moon.
February 1962: Following John Glenn’s successful orbit of the earth, the British government is faced with a question. Do they pursue a space program, requiring tremendous amounts of money, effort, and support, or do they not peruse, and remain financially stable indefinitely. After weeks of discussion, the British Aerospace and Design Agency (BADA) is authorised by Harold MacMillan.
June 1962: The first British rocket launches from Woomera. Named the Black Knight, it delivers a small satellite named prospero into Low earth orbit. Multiple other launches take place between April and August.
(Second point of divergence. See bottom of page for details and reasoning)
August 1962: Woomera Launch site shuts down for expansion to accommodate larger spacecraft. In the wake of Soviet aggression in space technology advancements, the British government announces its intention to join the race to the moon. Of course, they need to develop a full moon program, without the benefits that the Americans or soviets had in terms of their current space programs.
September 1962: American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy announces the Apollo program, in a speech later dubbed the “We choose to go the moon” speech, placing extra strain on the British decision on the Mona program.
October 1962: The British government reaches a decision on the Mona program, announcing its intention to land British boots on the moon by 1970. This gives them less than a decade to design and launch a rocket successfully before the end of the decade. A feat that seems hopeless task. In the announcement speech, it is said by the Prime minister “Whilst this task seems monumental. And at times seems impossible. There will be no sacrifice too great. No challenge to impossible. The will of the British people will always prevail over hate and evil, forces seen too common in todays world. We chose this battle. And we intend to show the world our might.”
November 1963: Research and development is complete, and construction of Mona 1, the first manned British Launcher vehicle begins. The first British astronauts are announced, with the first crew launch being set for Mona 3. Mona 3 has a crew consisting of, Thomas Langoustine, Oliver Mose, and Henry Gary. Kennedy remains in Washington to attend to issues regarding the Apollo program, and as such, never travels to Dallas.
March 1963: Mona 1 is completed ahead of schedule, allowing for extra testing time. They prove to be exceptional in all cases, with the launch being confirmed for July of 1963.
July 1963: Mona 1 launches from woomera launch site without fault, with the launch vehicle being a 3 stage disposable heavy launcher based on the now relatively outdated Black Arrow. The module spends 5 days in orbit before de-orbiting and landing off the coast of Ireland. Mona 2 is completed the same month, and transported to Woomera launch site for final testing and launch rollout to the newly developed Pad A-1.
October 1963: Mona 2 launches, but suffers the loss of 1 of the 3 engines, leading to an abort. A particularly hard landing on the beaches of New South Wales leads to the loss of the crew command module. Should the rocket of had crew onboard, this would be a complete loss of crew and vehicle. This incident puts the program on hold whilst the government re-evaluates the safety of the vehicle.
November 1963: British government rules that the Mona program is fit to fly, but will have to undergo a series of tests before authorisation for crewed flights is granted. The first of these tests is an on pad abort, followed by multiple scenarios ranging from engine failure to lightning strikes.
February 1964: After Alec Douglas-home wins the 1964 election, he assigns more funding to the Mona program and announces an expanded amount of authority. He also sets up a secondary program to deal with payloads, called Payload Loading Operations
March 1964: Mona is fit to fly once more, with Mona 3 being an uncrewed Lunar flyby on a new vehicle, this one a 4 stage disposable launcher called Aether, named for the Greek god of space. The launch date is selected as June of 1964.
April 1964: Mona 3 suffers major damage to the interstage and engine ignition system during vehicle stacking. This incident pushes back the initial launch date to September as opposed to June.
July 1964: Mona 3 is completed and testing begins for the upcoming launch. The static fire test is barely out of safety margins, leading to a week delay whilst an engine is re-evaluated and replaced.
September 1964: Mona 3 launches and completes 16 orbits around the moon before completing a re-entry and recovery, although pressure in the Crewed module begins a slight and steady dip on the return to earth. This is put down to a rushed manufacturing process, and Mona 3 is declared a success, paving the way for the first crewed launch. The British government announces an extension to the Mona program and its fleet of Aether rockets, with expanded funding and plans for a moon base announced in the wake of the successful mission.
December 1965: The British government announces the launch date of Mona 4 to 11, with Mona 9, 10 and 11 being the first planned Lunar landings. Development of the first British spacesuit begins. Mona 4 construction is almost complete, with Mona 4 planned to be an un-crewed mission to test the lunar landing RCS and docking systems.
February 1966: Mona 4 launches, with the Lunar lander passing with flying colours. With all tests being completed, the Lunar lander is certified for human use, with a maximum crew capacity of 3 astronauts. Mona 5 construction is almost finished.
May 1966. Mona 5 construction is complete, but heavy rain and lightening push the launch back by a month. As Mona 5 is being rolled back into the VAB, it suffers 2 lightning strikes. The backup launch date is put in place.
June 1966: Mona 5 launches with the 3 astronauts originally set for Mona 3 onboard. Roughly 27 seconds after the Trans-Lunar injection burn is completed, the guidance system fails. Failure of the system at that point in time had not been trained for. And the astronauts onboard are left adrift.
August 1966: The Mona 5 Investigation Board is set up to investigate the failure. The cause is eventually narrowed down to the lightening strikes causing a short circuit that became more apparent after the shaking of the vehicle caused batteries to surge and cause a guidance system failure. Mona 6 is cleared to fly at its planned date. New safety measures are put in place stating how to deal with incidents and new pre-flight checks are put in place.
August 1966: Mona 6 construction begins, set to be a full test of docking, RCS, and navigation systems. The British government announces plans for a moon base, and Mona 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are confirmed. The American government and congress begin to ramp up efforts in an attempt to beat the Russians and the British to the moon.
November 1966: The first Mona 6 parts arrive. The lower stage and CSM are constructed and placed in storage until the rest of the parts arrive.
December 1966: The rest of the Mona 6 parts arrive and are assembled. Mona 6 is set to fly in April 1967. For the first time, Australian Astronauts will be on a Mona flight around the moon. This will also be a full dress rehearsal, with the Australians detaching the Lunar module, flying to a height of 200 meters, dropping a small lander with science modules, and flying back to meet the CSM in Low Lunar Orbit.
February 1967: The British government announces that, should Mona 6 and 7 be a success, they will endeavour for a moon base as early as 1975. Mona 6 is reassigned for searching for potential base sites. And Mona 7 is re-assigned for dropping a small lunar rover from the side of the lander.
April 1967: Mona 6 launches from woomera and completes its mission. Yet again though, the pressure declines slightly, but after an inspection of the vehicle, it is merely an air duct that had a small hole. After an inspection of the pod, a faulty sensor is blamed, and there are no issues declared. Mona 6 found 4 potential sites. This is eventually narrowed down to 2. Mona 7 is set to launch in September 1967.
June 1967: Three astronauts are selected for the first Lunar landing, two being Australian. Mona 7 testing is completed.
September 1967: Mona 7 launches and completes all mission objectives, eventually landing in the Indian Ocean after a 14 day orbit around the moon. This is seen as a major success, as well as the longest and farthest crew ever to fly during the Mona program. The British government makes an announcement congratulating the astronauts onboard Mona 1 through 7. With this success, British space exploration crew control (BSECC) begins final training for the astronauts onboard Mona 8 and 9.
December 1967: In the final weeks leading up to new year, Mona 8 and 9 are completed for the final dress rehearsal and first Lunar landing. Mona 8 is fully stacked on pad A-2, and Mona 9 is stacked on pad A-1. With tensions rising inside mission control at Woomera launch site, teams are working around the clock to ensure that Mona 8 can successfully lift off and begin its trip to the moon.
December 1968: Mona 9 finally gets off the pad from Pad A-1. Mona 9 reaches orbit and prepares for the journey to the moon. After it reaches the moon, it detaches the lander, which de-orbits, and lands on the moon. After it returns automatically to the orbiting CSM, it returns home and successfully lands in the Indian Ocean. This success paves the way for the lunar landing, as it is the first Mona launch to successfully land on the moon, and return to earth
February 1969: Mona 10 is re-assigned for lunar operations. They begin training of the crew of Mona 10. The crew for Mona 10 are the original 3 from Mona 5. They are given this role for their performance in the Mona 5 incident, and for their determination for getting the job done.
April 1969: Mona 10 is rolled out to the pad in Woomera, although a fuelling error with the main hydrogen pump requires a new part to be flown down from Perth.
July 14th 1969: Mona 10 is go for liftoff. At the same time, America is completing the rollout of their Saturn V, more specifically, Apollo 11. A much more expensive vehicle than Aether. At Baikonur Cosmodrome, the N1-L3 is prepared for its final attempted flight.

SUL + 1 second. (MC) “Mona 10, contact not detected, land now or abort.”
SUL + 3 seconds. (CJS) “London, Mona 10, contact light. Cutoff. Engine safety engaged. We have confirmed touchdown.”
[With this, mission control is filled with applause and cheers. In under 10 years, one of the smallest 1st world countries, drawing on the power and will of its kingdom and people, has landed the first man on another celestial body. Before even the Americans, before the Russians. The next 4 hours are filled with technical checks. The expended fuel, whilst not an issue, is a point of discussion, as the original design and procedure called for using the remaining fuel as a boost back into orbit. It isn’t necessary, and the British Commander Jim Smith rules that they can still make it to orbit and rendezvous.]
MUT - 30 hours. (CJS) “Final EVA activities are finishing up here London. I’m gonna have to ask that FIDO gives us those updated trajectories for the launch procedure.”
(London) “Roger that Jim. FIDO will send those over momentarily.”
Point of divergence in August of 1962. My thoughts are that if they were to expand Woomera, they have the facility for larger rocket launches. With this they have more incentive to use it, thus the Telluric initiative and Mona program, which, in themselves, were justifications for the money spent developing Woomera.
Thank you for your ongoing support for Blue Moon. With this moon landing, we are 10 percent done! I may also begin using Kerbal Space Program for photos and images, although I may not, as I like to leave the looks of vehicles up to the reader. Thank you, and I’ll see you soon.
