Read Jim Lovell's book Lost Moon. They talk about how they found out during the days after the explosion if you remain as still as possible, you will build a small bubble of warmth because you don't lose your heat to the exterior environment in zero gravity. Think of it like an invisible blanket. It would be far too cumbersome to don their suits inside the LM, which could barely accommodate two men in suits. The LM had more than enough O2 as it gets purged and re-pressurized after every EVA. It was power usage that John Aaron and Sy Liebergot determined had to be cut to the absolute minimum. The CM had only back-up batteries left after the explosion, that left it only useful for re-entry. All the SM functions were considered destroyed, leaving the LM as the only power source for over 4 days times.
@MegaGeorge19485 жыл бұрын
The primary problem was that the CO2 build up due to their breathing. Yes there was plenty of O2. But if the CO2 levels exceeded a certain level, they would die long before they would run out of power.

I was in my 20's then and watched to mission landing at 1:00 AM. They had just enough fuel to get the LEM off of the moon's surface back to the command module when they were finished their work in the moon's surface.

Jack Swigert initially called the problem, though using the grammatically incorrect past tense of have "had." Actually, listening to the Apollo 13 flight director's loop, there was discussion about using the hard suits around 110 hours G.E.T. Space too is both hot and cold depending if you are in direct sunlight. This is why they used the PTC mode: passive thermal control. Also known as the barbeque mode. Temps ranged for 250 degrees farheinheit in sunlight to 250 degrees below in shade. Also, space is NOT empty but is now recognized to have dark matter. This is distorted in time-space by spheres such as the earth, moon and sun. Along with gravity, it generates the concept of mass that is used in calculating trajectory formulas and thrust vectors.

Additional to what was mentioned. The refrigeration cycle in it's simplest form requires a gas to be compressed (thus heated up) and then condensed, transported and allowed to boil off (thus cooling down). Equipment uses this cycle to "move heat from one place to another. As an example a refrigerator cools inside by heating up the outside. If the spacesuits were used to warm the astronauts they would do it by cooling the spacecraft. It is essentially a net loss equation and the overall system just looses energy. Apollo 13 had no energy to spare.

A critical fact not mentioned is that the Apollo craft was designed to slowly rotate so solar heating was spread across the entire craft somewhat evenly. This served dual purpose: primarily to prevent over expansion of sun-facing surfaces while shadowed surfaces were contracted, which could lead to all sorts of mechanical issues. Secondarily to offset the heating system so it wouldnt have to work as hard. I dont remember if the explosion and gas venting caused this rotation to change or not.

It makes sense. One of the purposes of the huge power pack connected to the suit while performing is temperature regulation. Most of the moisture from condensation and perspiration is absorbed by the various undergarment layers. UT it doesn't take long before those materials become saturated. So thermally controlled air is circulated through the suit. So I would imagine that wearing one of those cumbersome suits for 3 days straight without proper ventilation would be far more uncomfortable.

Only by that (incomplete) definition. All things above absolute zero have temperature, so they have heat; therefore nothing is cold, by your definition, except for nothing itself, a vacuum.

Technically, temperature is the average internal kinetic energy of a system/object ect. The average internal kinetic energy of space, close to Earth and in the shade is close to absolute zero. (aka, cold) The average internal kinetic energy of space, close to Earth and in direct sunlight is three to four hundred degrees above zero (Celcius or Farenheight, take your pick), (aka, hot as f***!)

@akizeta5 жыл бұрын
Well, that's drama. If you don't know what's going on in a tricky situation the drama is often hidden. To show an audience what's going on in a protagonist's head, screenwriters, directors and actors conspire to make the invisible visible. So, in the movies, swordsmen telegraph their moves, generals have a convenient lackey to explain their strategy to, and astronauts get a bit tetchy to show their tension and shiver to show the cold.
@Geographus6665 жыл бұрын
Since humans react very heavily to visuals as well as to emotions they see in other people, they had to exaggerate things like the cold by adding cold breath and the frozen sausage and also “invent” a lot of tension between the crew and at ground control to give the audience the feeling of stress and danger. In reality Gene Kranz never snapped at his team about the procedures like in the movie and there never was a fight between the astronauts in the capsule. These guys were heavily trained to deal with such situations and if they had reenacted it for “Apollo 13” the way it actually was, the movie would have been boring as hell to watch because these guys as well as ground control never lost their cool during the entire mission. Just listen to some of the audio recordings. Even right after their ship had literally blown up a few meters behind them they were talking to ground control like a pilot would greet his passengers on board of a commercial airplane.

Before watching the Video. If your talking EVA suits, there was only two of them, if your talking the suits they traditionally wear at Launch well they aren't really designed for that, they are more designed as a temporary live vest in the event of a pressurisation issue once in Space. And are designed to be fed Air from the same Systems that they would later have to jerry rig, the whole Square Peg Round Hole problem. In terms of Thermal Retention they aren't that great. Plus the heating systems for those flight suits, the heating systems were powered by the same battery's they needed to get home, including the Splash Down Batteries, some of which had been used partially due to the loss of the ability to recharge them via the Fuel Cells. So they would only run essential equipment, and then the battery hack using the LEM on jump start the CM before reentry might not have been possible if they wore those suits.

@@mephi71101 Actually, the pressure difference on the Apollo spacecraft was very small, less than the pressure difference in a coke bottle. This is because rather than pressurising the capsule to 1 atmosphere of pressure the engineers pressurised it to 0.2 atm with pure oxygen (Earth's atmosphere is 20% oxygen, so at 0.2 atm Apollo's "air" had the same oxygen concentration as the Earth's atmosphere, perfectly adequate for breathing). So the capsule wouldn't have exploded, but the astronauts would still be dead without their suits.

@mikechilders5 жыл бұрын
For something to feel 'cold' there needs to be two factors. One is a significant temperature difference to your temperature, and the other is a good heat conduction path between you and it. This is why water or metal at room temperature feel cold but plastic or cloth at the same temperature does not. You don't feel 'temperature', you feel the loss of heat. In space, the temperature is very cold (near absolute zero) but there's almost no matter to conduct heat. That's why space can be really cold but not be able to cool down a spacecraft very well. I was an engineer and I remember that heatsinking in space required totally different tactics. Heatsink fins and fans don't work very well in a vacuum.
@dpsamu20005 жыл бұрын
But air conditiners, like the 10,000 BTU air conditioners on the Apollos, do work to expel heat by radiating away the heat from the high pressure side by making it hotter than the skin of the spacecraft, and hotter than the incoming radiant heat from the sun like the Apollos did when they had the power for the air conditioner. Otherwise they can't dispose of the heat and it should have got hot.
