when did the apollo 13 lunar module reenter and burn up?

Answer 1

April 1970 That other guy didn't read that article closely enough, they used the lunar module as life boat back to earth because the power in the service module was too low to bring them back. When the astronaut's reached Earth they moved into the service module and jettisoned the lunar module into space. They needed the sevice module to enter the Earth's atmoshpere. If the lunar module crashed on the moon those astronauts would have died in space . The part which crashed on the moon is the part which held the lunar module in the rocket. Maybe that guy should learn to read. I just happen to be old enough to have seen it on tv as it was happening.

Answer 2

They jettisoned the LM from the Apollo capsule before reentry. It would have reentered the atmosphere short afterly the Apollo capsule reentered. And, without a heat shield, it would have burned up quickly. Check out the quote below.

".... The command module was powered up and lunar module was jettisoned at 16:43:02 UT. Any parts of the lunar module which survived atmospheric re-entry, including the SNAP-27 generator, planned to power the ALSEP apparatus on the lunar surface and containing 3.9 kg of plutonium, fell into the Pacific Ocean northeast of New Zealand. Apollo 13 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on 17 April 1970 at 18:07:41 UT (1:07:41 p.m. EST) after a mission elapsed time of 142 hrs, 54 mins, 41 secs. The splashdown point was 21 deg 38 min S, 165 deg 22 min W, SE of American Samoa and 6.5 km (4 mi) from the recovery ship USS Iwo Jima."

Answer 3

It didn't. Shortly after command module pilot Jack Swigert had extracted the lunar module from atop the S-IVB stage, ground controllers fired the auxiliary propulsion system on the big rocket, putting it on a course to crash into the moon. Three days later the 30,700-pound (13,925 kilogram) hulk struck the lunar surface at 5,600 miles per hour (2.5 kilometers per second) some 74 miles (119 kilometers) west-northwest of the Apollo 12 landing site.

Answer 4

It hasn't yet.

It reentered. Perhaps you could say the heat shield burned "down" as it fell.

sorry, I overlooked the "lunar module" part of the question. Therefore, it "entered" the lunar atmosphere (what little there is), so there may have been some unwitnessed burning. I'd still go with "down" instead of "up", because whatever gasses were onboard were heavier than lunar atmosphere.
