Apollo 13 Launch (Onboard Tape)

Apollo 13 Launch (Onboard Tape)

This video covers the launch of Apollo 13 from the astronauts point of view. Starting at T-1minute through to orbital insertion. The DSE tape recorder takes us inside the Command Module Odyssey for the first few minutes of this historical mission.

Please note - It has been pointed out that the voice that counts the terminal countdown after Skip Chauvins last call of GDC Align is that of astronaut Paul Weitz, who was acting as Stoney in the LCC on launch day. Apologies for getting this wrong.

The tape is available on the archive.org site and is digitised so you can download it. Be aware that it comers in several files and, because of the way the tapes were used there are other mission events contained in the recordings. For instance, on one of the tapes is the launch and the TLI sequence.

The sound quality isn't the best, but I have tried to reduce both the noise and the distortion.

Video and audio is courtesy NASA - Orbiter Space Simulator is used to show events that were not captured by cameras that day.
