Apollo 13 explosion linked to failed switches on heater
Apollo 13 investigators say two malfunctioning solaromatic switches in an oxygen tank heater likely caused the blast. The switches failed during a countdown drill, allowing tank wires to overheat and spark, igniting the oxygen environment. Detanking during practice drained oxygen and led to the April 13 explosion 205000 miles from Earth.
