Americans launched the Apollo 13 mission on April 11, 1970 with the goal of exploring Fra Mauro on the moon. However, two days later on April 13, an oxygen tank exploded onboard, forcing the astronauts to abort the lunar landing. The crew of Jim Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred Haise had to circle the moon without landing and find a way to return safely to Earth with limited power and oxygen due to the critical system failure. Apollo 13 demonstrated NASA's ability to innovate solutions to save lives in emergency situations in space.

Great disasters in the history of spaceflight wonderdome
This week in the anniversaries of three space disasters we are remembering the astronauts who have lost their lives pursuing our common dream for space exploration.
Great disasters in the history of spaceflight wonderdome
This week in the anniversaries of three space disasters we are remembering the astronauts who have lost their lives pursuing our common dream for space exploration.
2. HISTORY
Americans made Apollo 13
They launched it because they wanted to
explore hilly upland Fra Mauro
They launched it on April 11, 1970 and it
exploded April 13, 1970
It was launched at Kennedy Space Center
3. MISSION
Launch on April 11, 1970
Apollo 13 was supposed to land in the Fra
Mauro area.
The Fra Mauro was reassigned to Apollo 14
An explosion on board forced Apollo 13 to
circle the moon without landing
4. MANNED OR UNMANNED
Manned because there were 3 astronauts that
went to space in Apollo 13
Apollo 13 was a seventh man mission in the
American Apollo space program and the 3rd
intended to land on the moon
The 1970 Apollo 13 nearly took the lives of crew
members Jim Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred
Haise
The flight was commanded by the astronauts
who were grounded by the flight surgeon after
exposure to German measles
5. STRUCTURE
The structure of the command module was
reinforced to accommodate higher parachute
loads do to increased weight
The service module was designed to serve as the
primary propulsion and maneuvering system of
the spacecraft
The lunar module was designed to be used only
for making the landing on the moon and
providing and operating base and living quarters
while on the surface
The astronauts were forced to turn off the cabin
heater in order to conserve energy
6. Facts
In an instant, the Apollo 13 spacecraft pivoted
from a moon-bound landing unit to a crippled
vessel. While the spaceflight stands today as
a demonstration of NASA innovation saving
lives on the fly, Apollo 13 vividly illustrated
the dangers of people working in space.
Jim Lovell was the worlds most traveled
astronaut
7. Facts
An oxygen tank exploded on the space craft
America built Apollo 13
More than 1 Apollo was made
They went to space for a mission
Apollo 13 is years old
3 astronauts were launched into space
8. More Facts
Apollo 13 was launched at 13:13 on April 11
Apollo 13 is manned
It was launched at the Kennedy space center
in Florida
The purpose Apollo 13 went to space was
because they wanted to explore hilly upland
Fra Mauro
9. More Facts
Russia and America both wanted to land on
the moon first
Rockets can fly to space because they carry
there oxygen
Every second a rocket moves it wastes 10
gallons of fuel
America won because they landed on the
moon first
