Description

Staple-bound NASA/Manned Spacecraft Center report entitled "Apollo 13 Mission Report," MSC-02680, 8 x 10.5, approximately 125 pages, dated September 1970. The report provides details on the attempted third Apollo moon-landing, and includes chapters concerning: “Command and Service Module Performance,” “Lunar Module Performance,” “Mission Consumables,” “Biomedical Evaluation,” “Mission Support Performance,” “Experiments,” and “Assessment of Mission Objectives.” The report summary section reads, in part: “The Apollo 13 mission, planned as a lunar landing in the Fra Mauro area, was aborted because of an abrupt loss of service module cryogenic oxygen associated with a fire in one of the two tanks at approximately 56 hours. The lunar module provided the necessary support to sustain a minimal operational condition for a safe return to earth.” In very good to fine condition, with a ballpoint notation and some staining to the covers.
