Title
Apollo 13 Astronauts Practice Moonwalk at KSC
Full Description
Apollo 13 astronauts James A. Lovell and Fred W. Haise, Jr., during
practice moonwalk at Kennedy Space Center. Lovell (right) operates
Lunar Equipment conveyor, a pulley arrangement to load and unload
equipment from the cabin section of Lunar Module. Apollo 13's
original target on the Moon was the Fra Mauro region, southeast of
the Ocean of Storms, to perform an inspection, survey, and sampling
of the lunar surface, as well as to deploy and activate the ALSEP
package, obtain photographs of candidate exploration sites and to
develop human capability to work in the lunar environment. This
mission drastically changed after an explosion of one of the oxygen
tanks in the Service Module forced the Apollo 13 crew to abort the
lunar landing mission and return to Earth.
