Apollo 13 and Translunar Injection: Using the Hohmann Transfer Orbit to Calculate the Change in Velocity Needed to Get to the Moon My specific area of focus is the translunar injection maneuver that propelled Apollo 13 on a trajectory towards the Moon’s sphere of influence.

In Apollo 13‚ director Ron Howard shows that in times of desperation‚ people must contribute
