Probers Find Apollo 13 Blast Caused by Unusual Mistakes
SPACE CENTER Houston UP I reports that the Apollo 13 explosion stemmed from an unusual combination of mistakes and a deficient heater component design. Edgar M Cortright said NASA and two contractors allowed substandard heater switches, whose failure triggered a chain of events that left the spacecraft on the pad before launch. The board noted a 1962 directive on heater-switch improvements was not followed and warned future flights will be safer due to new procedures, though Apollo 14 may be delayed beyond December. Cortright urged not to indict the entire program, while Paine signaled possible further postponement if needed.
