		Ground tests before launch, indicated the possibility of a poorly insulated supercritical helium tank in the LM's descent stage so the flight plan was modified to enter the LM three hours early in order to obtain an onboard readout of helium tank pressure.
		Due to an oversight in replacing an underrated component during a design modification, this turned out to severely damage the internal heating elements of the tank.
