Apollo 13

The main conflict in the movie Apollo 13 is the struggle of the astronauts and the NASA ground team to bring the damaged spacecraft safely back to Earth after an oxygen tank explosion threatens the mission. The tension arises from the urgent need to problem-solve and improvise solutions in order to overcome the life-threatening challenges they face in space.

Apollo 12 returned to Earth on November 24, 1969, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. The mission lasted a total of just over 10 days, from launch to splashdown.

The Saturn V rocket used for the Apollo 13 mission required approximately 2.5 million liters (660,000 gallons) of fuel. This fuel consisted of liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer and refined kerosene (RP-1) as the fuel.

Even though Apollo 13 was a failed mission to the moon , it was very mch a big success in the sense it brought back to earth a damaged and blown spacecraft from the moon.All the three astronauts were well and in good spirits after their ordeal.

NO!! EECOM is an acronym for "Electrical, Environmental Consumables Manager. In the case of Apollo 13, that would be Sy Liebergot. The EECOM is one of the controllers in Mission Control who feed mission critical information to the Flight Director, who is in charge of the mission. In the case of Apollo 13, the EECOM was critical in the successful return of the crew. He was able to stretch 2 days worth of oxygen and 2 hours worth of battery power into 4 days.

There were a total of three astronauts on board Apollo 13, they were the commander James Lovell, the command module pilot was John Swigert and the lunar module pilot was Fred .W. Haise.

The thing in Apollo 13 that carries power and water is called the Lunar Module. It served as a lifeboat for the astronauts after an explosion damaged their command module during the mission.

Apollo 16 was a manned mission to the moon in 1972, but it was not a lander. The mission included a lunar module that landed on the moon, which was used to explore the lunar surface by the astronauts.

The crew of Apollo 13 solved their problems through ingenuity, teamwork, and staying calm under pressure. They had to find creative solutions to address the various challenges they encountered, such as adapting the lunar module to serve as a lifeboat and conserving power and resources. Clear communication and collaboration between the crew and mission control were key in navigating the crisis and safely returning to Earth.

Let me clarify Stu's answer below. When the Apollo spacecraft left earth's orbit they executed what they referred to as a TLI burn (Trans-Lunar Injection). This burn accelerated the spacecraft from an earth orbital velocity of approximately 17,500 mph to the TLI velocity of about 25,000 mph. The engines were then cut off, and the spacecraft "coasted" to the point where the earth's gravitational pull was equaled by that of the moon. At this point, the spacecraft had slowed due to the continuing (albeit decreasing) pull of earth's gravity to a mere 2,000 mph. At that "tipping point" the moon's gravity took over and began accelerating the spacecraft again until it reached the vicinity of the moon, at which point it's speed was around 5,000 mph. At that time the spacecraft executed an LOI (Lunar Orbit Insertion) retro-burn designed to slow it to a velocity which would place it in a specific orbit around the moon, approximately 3,600 mph.

Stu:

At the time when Apollo 11 left Earth orbit for the Moon, it was traveling at approximately 36,700 ft./sec. Its velocity was slowed all the way to the Moon, by the Earth's gravity. On the return journey, the Earth's gravity accelerated the Command Module, so that just before it hit the Earth's atmosphere, it was traveling approximately 36,300 ft./sec. There was nothing special about Apollo 11's velocity; any vehicle traveling to the Moon, manned or unmanned, would have to achieve the same velocities.

I'm assuming that you knew that 9 Apollo missions went to at least lunar orbit, and that 6 Apollo Lunar Modules actually made landings.

The Apollo 13 crew did not land on the moon due to an on-board explosion that caused a critical failure. Instead, they looped around the moon and returned to Earth safely with the help of NASA's ground control team.

The movie Apollo 13 is rated PG.

The Apollo 13 astronauts Jim Lovell, and Fred W. Haise were married and had children.But Jack Swigert was a bachelor.

An estimated 530 million people watched the Apollo 13 mission overall. About 25 million watched it live on TV during the accident, and later the movie adaptation further increased its popularity.

The Apollo 13 was a big set back for N.A.S.A.as it also forced M.A.S.A to spend money to correct the spacecraft and its problems. So as their original plan was to have Apollo 20 as the last one, they were forced to end at Apollo 17..It was also a big blow to the pride of the U.s.A.

An airscrubber is a device used to clean and purify the air in indoor spaces by removing pollutants, odors, and other contaminants. It typically uses filters, UV light, or other technologies to capture or neutralize airborne particles and improve indoor air quality. These devices are commonly used in homes, offices, and commercial buildings to create a healthier living or working environment.

Yes, the Apollo 13 astronauts were relieved and grateful to safely return to Earth after their mission encountered a near-disastrous oxygen tank explosion. They expressed gratitude and happiness upon their successful return.

"Apollo 13" is set primarily in outer space, following the ill-fated mission of the Apollo 13 spacecraft as it attempts to land on the moon. The film also includes scenes on Earth showing the efforts of NASA Mission Control to bring the astronauts safely back to Earth.

It didn't.

A part of Apollo 13 - An oxygen tank in the command module - exploded due to a short circuit. The spacecraft was badly damaged but managed to return to Earth with the astronauts alive.

The most recent space rocket launch was on [date], when [rocket name] successfully took off from [launch site].

After the explosion on Apollo 13, the crew spent most of their time in the Lunar Module, which served as their lifeboat. They needed to conserve power, water, and oxygen to survive until they could make it back to Earth safely.

The Apollo 13 crew consisted of astronauts from different parts of the United States. Jim Lovell was from Cleveland, Ohio; Fred Haise was from Biloxi, Mississippi; and Jack Swigert was from Denver, Colorado.

The Apollo 13 crew got cold because their spacecraft's heating system was shut down to conserve power after an oxygen tank explosion. This led to the temperature inside the spacecraft dropping significantly, making it very cold for the astronauts.

The radio blackout on Apollo 13 lasted about 1.8 minutes during re-entry when the spacecraft entered Earth's atmosphere at high speeds. This blackout period was due to the plasma sheath surrounding the spacecraft, which prevented radio signals from getting through.
