Title:
Astronaut James Lovell at his position in the Lunar Module
Description:
Astronaut James A. Lovell Jr., commander of the Apollo 13 mission, is pictured at his position in the Lunar Module (LM). The Apollo 13 crew of Astronauts Lovell; John L. Swigert Jr., command module pilot; and Fred W. Haise Jr., lunar module pilot, relied on the LM as a "lifeboat". The dependence on the LM was caused by by an apparent explosion of oxygen tank number two in the Service Module. The LM was jettisoned just prior to Earth re-entry by the Command Module.
