astronaut's self-rescue

I have seen a lot of similar space rescue feelings, that is, how people can save themselves.

The explosion of the oxygen tank led to the crisis. In order to solve the problem of oxygen, the lunar module was switched; in order to solve the problem of carbon dioxide poisoning, a carbon dioxide filter was made. In order to solve the power problem, all the electrical appliances were turned off, no lighting, no heating, and the steps of the operation were simulated in a NASA simulator to reach the electricity consumption that can be returned to Earth. The orbital angle is not good, and electricity cannot be used in transition, so we use manual operation, select the earth as the reference point, and manually adjust the angle after lighting. After solving so many problems, it is still necessary to rely on God's will to ensure that the damaged heat shield can continue to be used when it returns to the atmosphere, and the parachute can be automatically opened.

So, coming back is a blessing.

Apollo 13 quotes

  • Jim Lovell: Houston, uh, we... we sure could use the re-entry procedure up here. When can we expect that?

    William 'Bill' Pogue, CAPCOM: Uh, that's coming real soon, Aquarius.

    Jim Lovell: Uh, Houston, we... we... we just can't just throw this together at the last minute. So here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna get the procedure up to us, whatever it is, and we're gonna go over it step by step so that there's no foul-ups. I don't have to tell you we're all a little tired up here. The world's getting awfully big in the window.

  • Deke Slayton: Jim, we're gonna get that power-up procedure to you. We're gonna get it as soon as we possibly can. Ken Mattingly's in the simulator right now.

    Jim Lovell: [hopeful] Ken's working on it?
