Ron Howard; 140minutes; 7,7 of 10; year=1995; writer=Jeffrey Kluger, Jim Lovell; genres=Drama. NASA Forty-three years ago today, the Apollo 13 spacecraft splashed down into the Pacific Ocean following one of the most remarkable recovery missions in space history. Inside was mission commander Jim Lovell, 42, lunar module pilot Fred Haise, 36, and commander module pilot Jack Swigert, 38. Apollo 13, which blasted into space on April 11, 1970, was supposed to land on the moon. But an explosion in one part of the spacecraft less than three days after launch forced NASA to abort the mission. The mission is still considered a "successful failure" because the three astronauts returned to Earth safely. Around 47 hours into the mission, everything seemed to be running smoothly. "The spacecraft is in real good shape as far as we are concerned. We're bored to tears down here, " Capsule communicator Joe Kerwin says. Sigurd A. Sjoberg, director of flight operations views the Apollo 13 liftoff from a console in the mission control center. Scientist-Astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, a spacecraft communicator for the mission, looks on at right. Just 9 hours later, the crew finished a television broadcast showing how comfortable it is to live on the spacecraft in zero gravity. Lovell closed with a warm good night: This is the crew of Apollo 13 wishing everybody there a nice evening, and we're just about ready to close out our inspection of Aquarius and get back for a pleasant evening in Odyssey. Good night. " A few minutes after the broadcast wraped, ground control asked Swigert to perform a routine procedure called a cryo-stir. This involved powering fans to stir two oxygen tanks in the service module, which prevented the liquid oxygen from settling into layers. Thirteen minutes after the bang Lovell peers out the window. It's the final indication that something disastrous has happened. "It looks to me that we are venting something, " Lovell reports from Apollo 13. "We're venting something out into space. It's a gas of some sort. " That gas was the oxygen the crew not only needed in order to breathe, but also to power the fuel cells that generated water and power for the spacecraft. The command module (where the crew lived) was quickly losing power. The mission was aborted. Apollo 13 would not land on the moon. What went wrong? An investigation later determined that exposed wires shorted when the fan was turned on to stir the oxygen tanks. The spark, fueled by pure oxygen, ignited the Tungsten insulation. This started a fire inside the number 2 oxygen tank, increasing pressure and causing it to explode. Back in the control center, NASA had called all of its top people in within a few hours of the explosion. With the command module crippled, the decision was made to move the crew to the lunar module (designed to land on the moon), which would act as a "lifeboat. " Lovell is pictured here inside the lunar module. This would present several future challenges. The lunar module was only designed to support two men for two days (like in this artist's concept of Apollo 13 astronauts exploring the moon's surface). Now it was being used to support three men for about 90 hours. The crew had enough back-up oxygen, but the build-up of carbon dioxide would soon be an issue. The new mission was to get the lunar module in a free-return-to-Earth trajectory. Prior to the explosion, the craft was on course for the moon. The free-return course required slinging the lunar module around the moon, back to Earth, and landing in the Pacific Ocean. A telescope photographs the Apollo 13 spacecraft in the lunar-free return, which will take the craft around the far side of the moon, and back to Earth. After a day and a half in the lunar module, a warning light goes off showing dangerous levels of carbon dioxide. The crew could use the canisters used to remove carbon dioxide from the command module, but there was one problem: The command module used square canisters, while the lunar module used round ones. Mission control came up with a makeshift system using only materials available on the craft, like plastic bags, cardboard, and tape, to make this work. The crew photographs the far side of the moon from the Apollo 13 spacecraft on their perilous journey home. The trip is gruesome. There is very little food and water. Most electrical systems, including heat, were shut down to conserve power. The crew can't sleep because it is so cold. At one point the temperature drops to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Four hours before landing, the damaged service module was released from the command module. The crew snapped pictures, and for the first time, were able to see the full extent of the damage. A view of the service module from the lunar module, which is still attached to the command module. The moon can be seen in the distant background. "There's one whole side of that spacecraft missing, " Jim Lovell said. An entire panel of the service module had been blown away when the oxygen tank exploded, as seen in this close-up image. About to splash down in the South Pacific Ocean, the crew moved back into the command module. The lunar module was shed from the command module. A view of Apollo 13 lunar module from the command module. A large screen in front of the mission control room shows the spacecraft with its parachutes deployed. The capsule and its parachutes are visible after breaking through dark clouds. The spacecraft splashes down on April 17, 1970 at 12:07 p. m. The total voyage time was about 142 hours. Mission control celebrates! The astronauts are pulled from the command module onto life rafts. Haise, Lovell, and Swigert step off a helicopter onto recovery ship U. S. Iwo Jima. After the crew is safely on the ship, the command module is pulled on board. A day later, Lovell reads the newspaper account of Apollo 13's rescue while still on board the U. Iwo Jima. President Richard Nixon presents the nation's highest civilian award to the Apollo 13 crew on April 18. After Apollo 13, eight more Apollo spacecraft flew. None of them experienced problems.

The thermostat in the O2 tank fused together because it was an old style 28 volt model when it should have been upgraded to 65 volts. I also recall something about the tank being damaged when it was installed and then removed from a different rocket prior to being used. They over simplified the problem. OH MY GOD!

In an April 2005 e-mail, Stan Lebar, the Westinghouse Lunar Camera Program Manager, notes that the camera on the training MESA in this series of photographs is a black&white camera. The flight MESA had a color TV camera. "There weren't very many flight units available for this type of use and I suspect that if they had a mockup, they would have used it in lieu of a flight model. Since the TV SEC (Secondary Electron Conduction) vidicon as used in Apollo 12 was replaced with a newly developed SIT (Silicon Intensifier Tube) on Apollo 14 to minimize the possibility of having a repeat of the Apollo 12 fiasco. We had only one CM and LM TV cameras upgraded with a SIT by then and I doubt if they would have chanced using either one of these flight models for this type of test.

In the foreground is the lunar surface tool carrier, topped by auger-like pipes, to be used with a motorized device to obtain soil sample cores in the Moon’s rugged Fra Mauro region. Apollo 13 is scheduled for launch from Complex 39’s Pad A no earlier than April 13. The other crew members are James A. Lovell, Jr., commander, and Thomas K. Mattingly II, Command Module pilot. " Note that Haise has a 16-mm DAC movie camera mounted on his RCU bracket. The featureless box mounted on the camera of Haise's right is a battery for the DAC. Scan courtesy Margaret Persinger, KSC.

The drill is at his right and drill stem rack is at his left. On the Moon, Fred plans to drill to two holes to the heat flow experiment and one core hole. In drilling the core hole, he uses six 42. 5-cm stem, emplacing one stem and then attaching the next before extracting the entire string. Here, he has evidently just drawn the string out of the buried container which contains lunar soil simulant. As Dave Scott discovered on Apollo 15, lunar soil is more compact than expected at depth and extraction of the core was extremely difficult. Later crews had a jack and treadle to help with the extraction. Scan by Ed Hengeveld. KSC-70PC-12 ( 144k or 353k) Jim Lovell (left) and Fred Haise pose at the foot of a LM simulator. Jim has tongs attached to his yo-yo. Note that the lettering on Lovell's RCU, reading "J. Lovell", is in red while the lettering on Haise's RCU, reading "F. Haise", is in black.

KSC-70PC-18 ( 144k or 800k) Close-up of Fred Haise during training. Ulli Lotzmann calls attention to the fact that Fred is using a RCU-mounted Data Acquisition Camera (DAC). RCU mounting brackets for DAC cameras were flown on all the missions from Apollo 13 to Apollo 17, but the only training photos of RCU-mounted DACs are from Apollo 13. This image also gives us an excellent view of Fred's spiral-bound cuff checklist. A page in Jim Lovell's cuff checklist for activities at 1+00 into the EVA indicates that Fred sent a DAC out from the cabin in the ETB. Jim then mounted the DAC on his RCU to film Fred's egress. Item 155 in the Apollo 13 CM launch stowage list is "Camera/Power Pack Assy 16MH L. S. ", which is clearly a battery-powered DAC configured for use on the lunar surface. Pickering.

The RTG is behind Jim on the righthand side of the photo. In this image, we can see that the nametag on the left front of the RCU has red letters and, from other pictures in this sequence, we know that Jim's lettering is red while Fred's is black. Note the pattern of Velcro strips on the top of Jim's OPS, particularly the short strip just forward of the antenna, which can be used to identify him when other clues are not available. In this and the following images, Jim has his side visors up. Scan by Kipp Teague. 70-HC-80 ( 204k or 1657k) Fred Haise positions the drill stem rack during training.

It is connected to a hose (in center) from the Lunar Topographic (Hycon) camera. In the background is the 'mail box', a jerry-rigged arrangement which the Apollo 13 astronauts built to use the Command Module lithium hydroxide canisters to purge carbon dioxide from the Lunar Module. Lithium hydroxide is used to scrub CO2 from the spacecraft's atmosphere. Since there was a limited amount of lithium hydroxide in the LM, this arrangement was rigged up to utilize the canisters from the CM. The "mail box" was designed and tested on the ground at the Manned Spacecraft Center before it was suggested to the Apollo 13 crewmen. Because of the explosion of one of the oxygen tanks in the Service Module, the three crewmen had to use the LM as a 'lifeboat'. NASA caption. Scan by Kipp Teague.

Click bait they cut off the ending folks don't watch. This is an excellent mixture of excitement, emotion and character empathy. When Houston erupts with relief, the audience spontaneously erupts too, both wanting to cheer and cry. The assembled cast are well established favourites, and I could feel the realism in this clever mix of fact and fiction. It was a great movie about an amazing mission that show the best of what the Apollo missions were about! On a much smaller note since the movie and in just about every media coverage about the mission, I've always seen the young woman in the news clip at 37:24. I've often wondered, who she is and where is she today! She in her 70's at least now.

Free Apollo 13: The IMAX expérience utilisateur
Free apollo 13: the imax experience 1. Failure is always an option. Sketch of a circumlunar free return trajectory (not to scale) A free-return trajectory is a trajectory of a spacecraft traveling away from a primary body (for example, the Earth) where gravity due to a secondary body (for example, the Moon) causes the spacecraft to return to the primary body without propulsion (hence the term free). [1] Earth–Moon [ edit] The first spacecraft to use a free-return trajectory was the Soviet Luna 3 mission in October 1959. It used the Moon's gravity to send it back towards the Earth so that the photographs it had taken of the far side of the Moon could be downloaded by radio. Symmetrical free-return trajectories were studied by Arthur Schwaniger of NASA in 1963 with reference to the Earth–Moon system. [2] He studied cases in which the trajectory at some point crosses at a right angle the line going through the centre of the Earth and the centre of the Moon, and also cases in which the trajectory crosses at a right angle the plane containing that line and perpendicular to the plane of the Moon's orbit. In both scenarios we can distinguish between: [2] A circumlunar free-return trajectory around the Moon. The spacecraft passes behind the Moon. It moves there in a direction opposite to that of the Moon, or at least slower than the Moon in the same direction. If the craft's orbit begins in a normal (west to east) direction near Earth, then it makes a figure 8 around the Earth and Moon when plotted in a coordinate system that rotates as the Moon goes around the Earth. A cislunar free-return trajectory. The spacecraft goes beyond the orbit of the Moon, returns to inside the Moon's orbit, moves in front of the Moon while being diverted by the Moon's gravity to a path away from the Earth to beyond the orbit of the Moon again, and is drawn back to Earth by Earth's gravity. (There is no real distinction between these trajectories and similar ones that never go beyond the Moon's orbit, but the latter may not get very close to the Moon, so are not considered as relevant. ) In both the circumlunar case and the cislunar case, the craft can be moving generally from west to east around the Earth (co-rotational), or from east to west (counter-rotational). For trajectories in the plane of the Moon's orbit with small periselenum radius (close approach of the Moon), the flight time for a cislunar free-return trajectory is longer than for the circumlunar free-return trajectory with the same periselenum radius. Flight time for a cislunar free-return trajectory decreases with increasing periselenum radius, while flight time for a circumlunar free-return trajectory increases with periselenum radius. [2] The speed at a perigee of 6555 km from the centre of the Earth for trajectories passing between 2000 and 20 000 km from the Moon is between 10. 84 and 10. 92 km/s regardless of whether the trajectory is cislunar or circumlunar or whether it is co-rotational or counter-rotational. [3] Using the simplified model where the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is circular, Schwaniger found that there exists a free-return trajectory in the plane of the orbit of the Moon which is periodic. After returning to low altitude above the Earth (the perigee radius is a parameter, typically 6555 km) the spacecraft would start over on the same trajectory. This periodic trajectory is counter-rotational (it goes from east to west when near the Earth). It has a period of about 650 hours (compare with a sidereal month, which is 655. 7 hours, or 27. 3 days). Considering the trajectory in an inertial (non-rotating) frame of reference, the perigee occurs directly under the Moon when the Moon is on one side of the Earth. Speed at perigee is about 10. 91 km/s. After 3 days it reaches the Moon's orbit, but now more or less on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon. After a few more days, the craft reaches its (first) apogee and begins to fall back toward the Earth, but as it approaches the Moon's orbit, the Moon arrives, and there is a gravitational interaction. The craft passes on the near side of the Moon at a radius of 2150 km (410 km above the surface) and is thrown back outwards, where it reaches a second apogee. It then falls back toward the Earth, goes around to the other side, and goes through another perigee close to where the first perigee had taken place. By this time the Moon has moved almost half an orbit and is again directly over the craft at perigee. Other cislunar trajectories are similar but do not end up in the same situation as at the beginning, so cannot repeat. [2] There will of course be similar trajectories with periods of about two sidereal months, three sidereal months, and so on. In each case, the two apogees will be further and further away from Earth. These were not considered by Schwaniger. This kind of trajectory can occur of course for similar three-body problems; this problem is an example of a circular restricted three-body problem. While in a true free-return trajectory no propulsion is applied, in practice there may be small mid-course corrections or other maneuvers. A free-return trajectory may be the initial trajectory to allow a safe return in the event of a systems failure; this was applied in the Apollo 8, Apollo 10, and Apollo 11 lunar missions. In such a case a free return to a suitable reentry situation is more useful than returning to near the Earth, but then needing propulsion anyway to prevent moving away from it again. Since all went well, these Apollo missions did not have to take advantage of the free return and inserted into orbit upon arrival at the Moon. The atmospheric entry interface velocity upon return from the Moon is approximately 36, 500 ft/s (11. 1 km/s; 40, 100 km/h; 24, 900 mph) [4] whereas the more common spacecraft return velocity from low-Earth orbit (LEO) is approximately 7. 8 km/s (28, 000 km/h; 17, 000 mph). Due to the landing-site restrictions that resulted from constraining the launch to a free return that flew by the Moon, subsequent Apollo missions, starting with Apollo 12 and including the ill-fated Apollo 13, used a hybrid trajectory that launched to a highly elliptical Earth orbit that fell short of the Moon with effectively a free return to the atmospheric entry corridor. They then performed a mid-course maneuver to change to a trans-Lunar trajectory that was not a free return. [5] This retained the safety characteristics of being on a free return upon launch and only departed from free return once the systems were checked out and the lunar module was docked with the command module, providing back-up maneuver capabilities. [6] In fact, within hours after the accident, Apollo 13 used the lunar module to maneuver from its planned trajectory to a circumlunar free-return trajectory. [7] Apollo 13 was the only Apollo mission to actually turn around the Moon in a free-return trajectory (however, two hours after perilune, propulsion was applied to speed the return to Earth by 10 hours and move the landing spot from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean). Earth–Mars [ edit] A free-return transfer orbit to Mars is also possible. As with the Moon, this option is mostly considered for crewed missions. Robert Zubrin, in his book The Case for Mars, discusses various trajectories to Mars for his mission design Mars Direct. The Hohmann transfer orbit can be made free-return. It takes 250 days (0. 68 years) in the transit to Mars, and in the case of a free-return style abort without the use of propulsion at Mars, 1. 5 years to get back to Earth, at a total delta-v requirement of 3. 34 km/s. Zubrin advocates a slightly faster transfer, that takes only 180 days to Mars, but 2 years back to Earth in case of an abort. This route comes also at the cost of a higher delta-v of 5. 08 km/s. Zubrin writes that faster routes have a significantly higher delta-v cost and free-return duration (e. g. transfer to Mars in 130 days takes 7. 93 km/s delta-v and 4 years on the free return), and so he advocates for the 180-day transfer. [8] A free return is also the part of various other mission designs, such as Mars Semi-Direct and Inspiration Mars. There also exists the option of two- or three-year free-returns that do not rely on the gravity of Mars, but are simply transfer orbits with periods of 2 or 1. 5 years, respectively. A two-year free return means from Earth to Mars (aborted there) and then back to Earth all in 2 years. [9] The entry corridor (range of permissible path angles) for landing on Mars is limited, and experience has shown that the path angle is hard to fix (e. +/- 0. 5 deg). This limits entry into the atmosphere to less than 9 km/s. On this assumption, a two-year return is not possible for some years, and for some years a delta-v kick of 0. 6 to 2. 7 km/s at Mars may be needed to get back to Earth. [10] NASA published the Design Reference Architecture 5. 0 for Mars in 2009, advocating a 174-day transfer to Mars, which is close to Zubrin's proposed trajectory. [11] It cites a delta-v requirement of approximately 4 km/s for the trans-Mars injection, but does not mention the duration of a free return to Earth.
