3 FOREWORD This document presents Revision l to Volume of the Spacecraft Operational Trajectory for Apollo 13 (Mission H-2 ) launched April 11, Volume will not be revised. This volume presents an updated sequence of events tab.le and the detailed trajectory parameters for the first launch opportunity, first injection opportunity on April 11, The re.visipn was initiated because of the following changes. 1. The coordinates of the lunar landing.site were changed from: latitude longitude radius to n. mi. latitude longitude radius n. mi. 2. A small change in the LM weight and the descent engine performance resulted in an update to the altitude and altitude- rate history for the descent and landing phase. 3. The coordinates of the photographic site, Davy crater chain, were changed from: latitude longitude -6.o 0 to latitude l ongitude An ephemeris error appeared in the rendezvous phase for the p:r;evious Volume of the operational trajectory doc\1:ment..this error affected the inertial state vectors and the G.in. t. 's-. 5. Two earth entry guidance constants, LADPAD and LODPAD, have been changed to.30 and.18, respectively. The effect of these changes on the shape of the entry trajectory are slight. iii
