Apollo 13 - The Infamous Manual Burn (Full Mission 34)

Please read this description: Apollo 13 - The Infamous Manual Burn This video covers the infamous manual burn with the LMs DPS engine. As you will hear and see, although absolutely vital to the crews survival for re-entering the earths atmosphere, it wasnt played out as dramatically as it has been subsequently portrayed in films. The crew also set up the PTC again and powerdown the LM. This is part 34 of an intended series which will cover the entire Apollo 13 mission from launch to splashdown. All GET is approximated. Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator is used to cover parts of the mission not covered by available video footage. 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. All audio courtesy of NASA.
