- Lot Description
James Lovell (American, b. 1928), Jack Swigert (American, 1931-1982), or Fred Haise (American, b. 1933)
Six views showing the jettison of the damaged Service Module with the now very distant Moon in the background, Apollo 13, April 1970. Numbered 'NASA AS13-59-8500,' 'NASA AS13-59-8507,' 'NASA AS13-59- 8510,' 'NASA AS13-59-8516,' 'NASA AS13-59-8521,' and 'NASA AS13-59-8547' (NASA MSC), respectively, on the recto u.l. margin. Vintage gelatin silver prints, image sizes to 7 1/4 x 7 1/8 in. (18.3 x 18.0 cm), unmatted.
Condition: Good.
N.B. The exterior of the docked Command Module that astronauts use for landing is visible in some of these photographs taken from the window of the LM. 'Four hours before landing, we shed the service module; Mission Control had insisted on retaining it until then because everyone feared what the cold of space might do to the unsheltered CM heat shield. I'm glad we weren't able to see the SM earlier,' said James Lovell. 'With one whole panel missing, and wreckage hanging out, it was a sorry mess as it drifted away' (NASA SP-350, chapter 13.5). "Seeing the damaged Service Module raised the, maybe, possibility of the heat shield being cracked when we saw that this whole panel had been ripped off the side...,' noted Fred Haise. 'It was a bigger thing, really, than we envisioned. We expected to see a little bitty ripped hole. I did, I should say; maybe Jack or Jim suspected more, I didn't; I was thinking I would maybe see one little gouged hunk of aluminum, and a hole" (Chaikin, Voices, p. 149).
Estimate $500-700
