Apollo 13 Mission Report¶
National Aeronautics and Space Administration. (1970). Apollo 13 Mission Report.
Retired. This is not a bibliographic entry. Our extractor captured an inline prose definition from an article and stored it as a work. The concept is real; this registry record is a parsing defect. This entry is kept so the citations that pointed at it still resolve, and so the correction is visible rather than silent.
Cited by¶
3 citations across 3 artifacts.
Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.
Domain-specific¶
- Entrepreneurial Bricolage
- During the Apollo 13 crisis in April 1970, a crippled spacecraft forced three astronauts into the lunar module, whose lithium-hydroxide CO2 scrubbers used cylindrical canisters while the abundant spare canisters from the command module were square
This sourceWorking from ground instructions, they assembled the fix from a plastic bag, cardboard, a suit hose and tape.

“It became apparent that there were insufficient lithium hydroxide cartridges in the lunar module to support the abort mission”

- Functional Fixedness
- After an oxygen-tank explosion, the crew sheltered in the lunar module, but its lithium-hydroxide CO2 scrubbers used round canisters while the command module's spare canisters were square and would not fit the module's receptacles
This sourceThe mission's technical record of the lunar-module carbon-dioxide problem and the improvised bag-and-hose adapter that let command-module lithium-hydroxide cartridges scrub the lunar-module atmosphere.

- The overriding objective is re-declared as bring the crew home alive; the lunar landing, the science, the mission's entire original point, is dropped from the ranking.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 3 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
