Apollo 13 - Shutdown Odyssey (Full Mission 13)

Apollo 13 - Shutdown Odyssey. With the shutdown of a fuel cell an alternate mission is now inevitable. With power running out in the CSM the crew power up the LM and try to get the platform aligned using the current good platform numbers from Odyssey. Lovell then tries to manoeuvre the entire spacecraft combination with Aquarius' RCS. Mission Control inform us that a press conference has been arranged and is imminent.

This video covers MET 57hrs -59hrs. All audio is voxed (ie the gaps between the comm is shortened to just include the transmissions).

This is part 13 of an intended series which will cover the entire Apollo 13 mission from launch to splashdown.

All MET is approximated. Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator is used to cover parts of the mission not covered by available video footage. The Virtual Apollo Guidence Computer is used to portray MET as it might have looked. PAO announcements are captioned for distance from earth and velocity. I have used some poetic licence in the RCS thruster firing sequences. I do not claim to know if these are how events looked in real time. I have added them to give the viewer something to watch while events unfold.
