 SUMMARY
 On July 20, 1969, astronaut Jim Lovell is at his home
celebrating the Apollo 11 moon landing party.
 Lovell was given a VIP tour of Apollo 13’s massive
Saturn v rocket is ready to be launched.
 Lovell is informed that he and his crew has been
selected as prime crew of Apollo 13.
 Before launch Lovell is informed that Ken Mattingly is
not coming on the mission with him, Lovell tries best
to get him on the flight but he is unsuccessful in doing
so.
 Ken is replaced by pilot Jack Swigert.
 Next day they are ready for the launch and finally they
move on.
 After three days of the mission, Swigert is asked to stir
the cryogenic oxygen tanks, leading to explosion in
service module.
 The crew got to know that there is problem with
oxygen tank and they think to cancel their landing on
the moon and shut down the odyssey and on up the
Aquarius for saving their life.
 John Aaron on earth who is a flight controller
specifically trained to deal with the electrical and
communication system recruits the crew to restart
odyssey but they shut down the odyssey and powers up
Aquarius and are near moon, they see the moon near to
them and Lovell gets depressed by this.
 As the crew has powered up the Aquarius, there is a
problem again, to conserve power they have to shut
down the Aquarius and stay in freezing cold.
 The environment gets scary in the crew and Swigert
blame mission control center for not letting them to
find out the technical problem in the craft, but Haise
blames the Swigert and calls him inexperienced.
 Aquarius is meant for two people only but it has to

mange the carbon dioxide thrown by three men.

 An engineering team assembles at radio station

Houston and makes a crude method of removing

poisonous gas and air cleaners to be used in
Aquarius.
 The space craft enters the earth atmosphere and the

crew makes risky correction of igniting the decent

engine of lunar module to avoid skipping off earth’s
atmosphere.
 The crew gets successful in righting their way to

earth.
 There on earth Mattingly’s team struggle to find
out the way to power up the spacecraft as very little
power is left, and finally he guides Swigert to
revive odyssey.
 The crew says good bye to Aquarius, the lunar

module which saved their life is jettisoned, odyssey

re enters the earth’s, and after four minutes of radio
ionization blackout, three minutes normal reentry
is there and crew reports that they are safe and
well.
 There is celebration in the mission controls and

the homes of crew members.

 After that spacecraft splashes in water, crew is

taken out of water and taken to USS lwo ijma for

their welcome.
