Title
Apollo 13
Full Description
Overall view of the Mission Operations Control Room in the Mission
Control Center at the Manned Spacecraft Center, during the fourth
television transmission from the Apollo 13 spacecraft while enroute to
the Moon.
Eugene F. Kranz (foreground, back to camera), one of four Apollo 13
Flight Directors, views the large screen at front of MOCR. Astronaut
Fred W. Haise Jr., lunar module pilot, is seen on the screen. The
fourth television transmission from the Apollo 13 mission was on the
evening of April 13, 1970.
Shortly after the transmission ended and during a routine proceedure
that required the crew to flip a switch that stirred one of the
cryogenic liquid oxygen tanks, an explosion occurred that ended any
hope of a lunar landing and jeopordized the lives of the three crew
members.
