1970年4月11日 午後7時13分(UTC:universal time coordinated●協定世界時)にKennedy Space Center から月へ向けて打ち上げられたApollo 13.
Wikipedia にはこんな資料が載っていました:
Mission name: Apollo 13
Command Module: CM-109
Service Module: SM-109
Lunar Module: LM-7
Booster: Saturn V SA-508
Call sign: Command module:Odyssey
Lunar module:Aquarius
Number of crew members: 3
named James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise.
Launch pad: Kennedy Space Center, Florida LC 39A
Lunar landing:Cancelled due to onboard explosion
有名な Houston, we have a problem というセリフは実は
"Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here" uttered by Swigert
だったとか(^^;
まぁ、その辺はあんまり細かい事言いっこなし、ということで早い話どっちでもイインですが、このセリフを境にこのmissionは180度変わってしまうわけであります。
そして管理人がいつもワクワクしてしまうのが、Gene が各担当管制官に「go かno go かを言ってくれ(Give me a go, no go for launch.)」とヘッドセットを通して言うシーン(^^)
順を追って出てくるのが:
Booster:Booster Systems Engineer:Monitored and evaluated performance of propulsion-related aspects of the launch vehicle during prelaunch and ascent.(推進ロケット)
RETRO:Retrofire Officer:Drew up abort plans and was responsible for determination of retrofire times. (逆推進ロケット)
FIDO:Flight Dynamics Officer:Responsible for the flight path of the space vehicle, both atmospheric and orbital. (航空力学:飛行軌道)
GUIDANCE:Guidance Officer:Monitored onboard navigational systems and onboard guidance computer software.(誘導)
Surgion:Flight Surgeon:Directs all operational medical activities concerned with the mission, including the status of the flight crew. Monitors crew health, provides crew consultation, and advises flight director of the crew's health status. A direct communications loop can be established between the mission astronauts and the flight surgeon, in accordance with doctor-patient confidentiality.(医療)
EECOM:Electrical, Environmental and Consumables Manager :Monitored cryogenic levels for fuel cells, and cabin cooling systems; electrical distribution systems; cabin pressure control systems; and vehicle lighting systems. (司令船電気系統・環境系統)
GNC:Guidance, Navigation, and Controls Systems Engineer:Monitored all vehicle guidance, navigation and control systems.(誘導航行)
TELMU:Telemetry, Electrical, EVA Mobility Unit Officer :Monitored the Lunar Module electrical and environmental systems, plus lunar astronaut spacesuits. Essentially the equivalent of the EECOM for the Lunar Module.(着陸船システム)
Control:Responsible for the Lunar Module guidance, navigation and control systems. Essentially the equivalent of the GNC for the Lunar Module.
Procedures:進行担当
INCO:Integrated Communications Officer:Responsible for all data, voice and video communications systems, including monitoring the configuration of in-flight communications and instrumentation systems. (計器通信)
FAO:Flight Activities Officer:Planned and supported crew activities, checklists, procedures and schedules.
(飛行管理)
NETWORK:Supervised the network of ground stations that relayed telemetry and communications from the spacecraft.(地上連絡網)
RECOVERY:回収担当
CAPCOM:Capsule Communicator (通信士)*Generally the only person who communicates directly with a manned space crew. During much of the U.S. manned space program, NASA felt it was important for all communication with the astronauts in space to pass through a single individual in the Mission Control Center.
そしてGene Kranz の役割:
FLIGHT:Flight Director:Leads the flight control team."Flight" has overall operational responsibility for missions and payload operations and for all decisions regarding safe, expedient flight. He monitors the other flight controllers, who are in constant verbal communication with him through intercom channels called "loops".
皆さんそれぞれ「Go」「We're go」「Go, Flight」と返事を返していよいよ
Launch control, this is Houston. We are go for launch.
と相成るわけでございます。

管理人は第五エンジンストップを「災厄の始まり」と書きましたが、Jim は「Looks like we just had our glitch for this mission.(災難はこれで終わりさ。glitch=(機器に発生する)問題、故障、誤作動、異常、技術的なミス、不調)」と他の二人のクルーに言いますが...(^^; そうであって欲しいという願いもこめてだったようにも思えます。
しかし、というか、無理もないよなぁ、というか、いつも苦笑いしてしまうのが 酸素タンクのファンのスイッチをonにした直後に爆発音と衝撃を感じ、master alarm が鳴って、Jack Swigert がびっくりした顔で言う例のセリフ
「Hey, we've got a problem here.」( ・_・;)
その言葉につられたように地上の管制官達の前にあるスクリーンが一斉にアラートを表示して mission control 全体が騒然となるその中で、一人怪訝そうな顔でCAPCOM が
「Uh, this is Housston. Uhh, say again , please?」とヘッドセットのマイクに言うシーン(^^;
一番まどろっこしく感じられたのが実際に宇宙船内で何かとてもまずい事が起きているのか、それとも instrumentation problem(計器の故障)なのか、地上では瞬時に判断できない事なんですね。
事実、EECOM は
It's-it's reading a quadruple failure. That can't happen. It-it's got to be instrumentation.(四重の事故なんてあり得ない。きっと計器の故障だ。) なんて言ってるくらい、「あってはならない重大事故」だったわけです。
しばらくクルーの話を聞いていたGene が
these guys talking about bangs and shimmies up there. Doessn't sound like instrumentation to me.
(彼等は爆発音と揺れ、と言っている。計器の問題とは思えないが。)
と事故が起きた事を認めます。
先は長いぞ、と言いつつ Gene Kranz が、I want you all to forget the flight plan. From this moment on we are improvising a new mission. と月面着陸の飛行計画を(・_・ )ノ""□ポイッと投げ捨て How do we get our people home? と管制官達に問いかけるシーンにはまっております(^^;
どうにかしてギリギリ絞れるところまで電力を絞るんだ、と皆に檄を飛ばすGene.そして有名なあの一言: We've never lost an American in space. We're sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch. に続く、これです、これ。
⇒「Failure is not an option.」 (^_^)v カックイイ
※この、緊急事態だ、と聞いたときのKen Mattingly ⇒Gary Sinise の表情も大げさすぎずに好きです。もうすでに彼の頭の中ではシミュレーションが始まっているかのような(^^)
NASAのシミュレータールームに到着したKenは早速 John Aaron と現状確認をし、simulator に乗り込むべく矢継ぎ早に指示を出し、
I need the SIM cold and dark...give me the exact same conditions they've got in there now...and I need , uh, present status of every instrument.
とsimulator の中へ消えるのであります。
flashlight が必要だ、と言ったときに渡された物を見て
That's not what they have up there. Don't give me anything they don't have on board.
