manned Earth orbital demonstration Apollo 8 First manned flight to
Moon Apollo 11 First manned landing, in Sea of Tranquility July
1624, 1969 Apollo 13 Third landing attempt aborted near the Moon,
due to SM failure. Crew used LM as "life boat" to return to Earth.

5. Launch : how to create awe ? Add camera moves Reproduce what
they remembered, not what they saw Add an impressive music Always
have an extinguisher Context - Launch - What happened ? How to
survive ? - Landing- What about future ?

bang. . The crew initially thought that a meteoroid might have
struck the Lunar Module. .Fluctuations in electrical power and

9. Detailed Chronology of Events Surrounding the Apollo 13
accident 55:55:20 - Swigert: "Okay, Houston, we've had a problem
here." 55:55:28 - Lousma: "This is Houston. Say again please."
55:55:35 - Lovell: "Houston, we've had a problem. We've had a main
B bus undervolt." 55:55:42 - Lousma: "Roger. Main B undervolt"
55:55:49 - Oxygen tank No. 2 temperature begins steady drop lasting
59 seconds indicating a failed sensor. 55:56:10 - Haise: "Okay.
Right now, Houston, the voltage is -- is looking good. And we had a
pretty large bang associated with the caution and warning there.
And as I recall, main B was the one that had an amp spike on it
once before. 55:56:30 - Lousma: "Roger, Fred " 55:56:38 - Oxygen
tank No. 2 quantity becomes erratic for 69 seconds before assuming
an off-scale low state, indicating a failed sensor. 55:56:54 -
Haise: "In the interim here, we're starting to go ahead and button
up the tunnel again. " 55:57:04 - Haise: "That jolt must have
rocked the sensor on - see now - oxygen quantity 2. It was
oscillating down around 20 to 60 percent. Now it's full-scale high.
" 55:57:39 - Master caution and warning triggered by DC main bus B
undervoltage. Alarm is turned off in 6 seconds. 55:57:40 - DC main
bus B drops below 26.25 volts and continues to fall rapidly.

13. How to survive ?
14. Failure is not an option ! Oh its a good idea for the title
of my autobiography !! Gene Cranz
15. -They come in the LM Aquarius the only way to make
correction -Aquarius made for 2 people not 3 -They cut 80% of
electrical devices in CM (expept houston communication)
16. -Kranz chose the alternative circumlunar option, using the
Moon's gravity to return the ship to Earth. Apollo 13 had left its
initial free-return trajectory earlier in the mission, as required
for the lunar landing at Fra Mauro. -Therefore, the first order of
business was to re-establish the free-return trajectory with a
30.7-second burn of the DPS.
17. - Carbon dioxide issue
18. -Command module/Service module separation
19. -Command module/lunar module separation -Only CM have a
heat shield
