Jack Swigert or Fred Haise (Apollo 13)
The abandoned lifeboat LM Aquarius prior to Earth reentry, 11-17 April 1970
Vintage gelatin silver print on fiber-based paper, printed 1970, numbered "NASA AS13-59-8562" (NASA MSC) in black in top margin, with numbered NASA caption on verso, 25,4 x 20,3 cm
The Apollo 13 crew transferred in the Command Module and the abandoned Lunar Module was undocked just over an hour before splashdown and burned up on re-entry. Aquarius never landed on the Moon but saved the astronauts’ lives.
“Survive we did, but it was close. Our mission was a failure but I like to think it was a successful failure.”
James Lovell (NASA SP-350, p. 247)
From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken:
141:30:05 Kerwin (Mission Control): Farewell, Aquarius, and we thank you.
