2 Sources 3 Connections Lunar module Aquarius The spacecraft carried for the landing. Once the landing was cancelled it served as a lifeboat, supplying oxygen, power and propulsion instead.
2 Sources 2 Connections Jim Lovell Commander of Apollo 13. It was his fourth spaceflight and his second trip to the Moon without landing on it.
1 Sources 1 Connections Jack Swigert Command module pilot, moved up from the backup crew only days before launch.
1 Sources 2 Connections Fred Haise Lunar module pilot. He ran a high fever from a urinary infection during the return.
1 Sources 1 Connections Ken Mattingly The original command module pilot, replaced just before launch after exposure to rubella. He stayed on the ground and worked out how to restart the command module on the power that was left.
