- Lot Description
James Lovell (American, b. 1928), Jack Swigert (American, 1931-1982), or Fred Haise (American, b. 1933)
Four views of the separation and jettison of the Lunar Module Aquarius after transfer of the crew in the Command Module for reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, Apollo 13, April 1970. Numbered 'NASA AS13-59-8553,' 'NASA AS13-59-8560,' 'NASA AS13-59-8568,' and 'NASA AS13-59-8576' (NASA MSC), respectively, on the recto u.r. margin. Vintage gelatin silver prints, image sizes to 7 1/4 x 7 1/4 in. (18.3 x 18.3 cm), unmatted.
Condition: Minor rippling to sheets.
N.B. The LM dock window can be seen as well as its thrusters (first image). Due to the unusual spacecraft configuration resulting from retaining the LM, entry procedures had to be modified. First came the separation of the damaged Service Module. Then the Command Module was powered up and the crew transferred back to the CM. The Lunar Module was undocked just over an hour before splashdown and burned up on reentry. From this point, the mission was similar to previous flights, with a safe landing approximately 1 mile from the target point (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/missions/apollo/apollo_13/return/). 'As far as spacecraft operations go,' said James Lovell, '13 was, I think, the epitome of man and machine, you know, trying to go back home safely' (Chaikin, Voices, p. 142).
Estimate $500-700
