Apollo 13, launched on April 11, , was crewed by James A. As the space ship was preparing to begin lunar landing operations, an explosion occurred in the Command and Service Module CSM.

The ship lost oxygen.

Electrical power and other systems were damaged. The abort systems intended to permit an emergency return to earth were knocked out.

The Lunar Module had no heat shield and therefore could not be used for re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. After several harrowing experiences, including almost freezing to death and being nearly asphyxiated by carbon dioxide, enough power was found to use the CSM for reentry. Later, it was found that the cause of the loss of the spacecraft was an explosion that occurred because of a defective wire connecting a fan used to stir liquid oxygen.

The insulation on the wire burned, triggering the explosion. No astronaut was at fault. An ampere "amp" for short is a unit used to measure the flow of electrical current, i. The batteries in the CSM had been damaged in the explosion and were generating only a small portion of their usual power. Using a flight simulator, Ken Mattingly and the NASA engineers measured the number of amps that each of the reentry procedures required and found a way to steer the spacecraft through reentry with the limited amount of power left in the CSM's batteries. Apollo was a Greek God, the son of Zeus and Leto.

Second in power only to Zeus, he gave life and light through the power of the sun.
