Did Apollo 13 come back into the atmosphere in at an LEO Low Earth Orbit?

No, Apollo 13 did not re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in low Earth orbit (LEO). The spacecraft made a free return trajectory around the Moon, using its gravitational pull to slingshot back towards Earth. Apollo 13 re-entered the atmosphere at a higher speed than LEO re-entries due to its return path from the Moon.

Names of all the shuttles which have been involved in moon missions?

None have ever been outside low earth orbit. The moon is too far


Did Apollo 18 landed on the moon?

There was no Apollo 18 (the movie is fiction). The last Apollo mission to fly to the moon was Apollo 17. The final flight of Apollo hardware was the Apollo Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) flown in 1973, which never left Low Earth Orbit.


What was the first Apollo mission?

Apollo 1 is the official name that was later given to the never-flown AS-204 mission. Its command module was destroyed by fire killing the 3 astronauts aboard during a test and training exercise on January 27, 1967 AS-203, and umanned flight of the Saturn 1B rocket, is sometimes called Apollo 2. AS-202, a suborbital flight is sometimes called Apollo 3. However, the first official Apollo flight to fly was Apollo 4, the first flight of the Saturn V rocket. Apollo 4 was unmanned. The first manned Apollo flight was Apollo 7, an 11 day low earth orbit mission.

Does a 10lb catapult launch further than a 3lb one?

Usually yes...but it depends on the angle of trajectory, weight and aerodynamics of the thing being catapulted, the length of the "arm" of the catapult, and the amount of force that the catapult is set to hurl the object. Example: a feather on the 10lb catapult which is set at a high trajectory and a low force will go almost nowhere while a stone from a 3 pound catapult will go much farther if it is set on a perfect trajectory and maximum force.
