  • Resumen

  • On April 13, 1970, 210,000 miles away from Earth (about 330,000 km), three astronauts were suddenly jolted by a "bang-whump-shudder" that shook their tiny spacecraft. One of the astronauts saw the hull physically flex. Within seconds, the cabin was illuminated with warning lights, and a cacophony of alarms rang in their ears. “Houston, we’ve had a problem,” reported Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell. Something was wrong—seriously wrong. But, unable to see outside of the craft, the astronauts couldn’t grasp the full extent of the damage. With every passing minute, the crippled spacecraft moved another 400 miles away from Earth. In the history of our species, no one had been in this much trouble so far from home. Indeed, a few hours later, they would be farther from home than anyone had ever been, either before or in the 50 years since. In this special documentary edition of the Engineer Innovation podcast, we explore the role that engineering simulation played in rescuing three American astronauts from near-certain death, turning what could have been NASA’s biggest disaster into its greatest success. Key Takeaways: The Apollo 13 mission is more than just a story of survival; it’s a pivotal moment in the history of digital engineering, marking the birth of the digital twin. Discover how NASA engineers used simulations and real-time data to create a virtual replica of the damaged spacecraft, allowing them to test solutions and guide the crew home. Explore the lasting impact of this innovation, which has since evolved into a critical tool across industries, from aerospace to manufacturing. This episode of the Engineer Innovation podcast is brought to you by Siemens Digital Industries Software—where electronics, engineering, and manufacturing come together to shape a better digital future.
