FLOWN ON APOLLO 13—LUNAR MODULE MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
SIGNED BY HAISE & LOVELL
FLOWN on Apollo 13, LM Malfunctions Procedures, pp 62A/62B from the Apollo 13 LM Malfunctions Procedures Checklist, part no. SKB32100076, serial no. 1001. Single sheet printed recto and verso. NASA/MSC, Apollo 13 Flight Data File, March 16, 1970. 8½ x 10½ inches. With certificate and digital copy of full checklist.
SIGNED and INSCRIBED: "FLOWN ON APOLLO 13, APRIL 11-17, 1970. FRED W HAISE. APOLLO 13 LMP," and "JAMES LOVELL, APOLLO 13 CDR."
The Apollo 13 crew lost the use of their primary rocket engine, the Service Module's (SM) Service Propulsion System (SPS), due to an oxygen tank explosion some 55 hours into the mission. This forced the crew to use their Lunar Module (LM) with its separate oxygen and power as a "life boat" to survive. They needed the LM's Descent Propulsion System (DPS) rocket engine to place them back onto a trajectory that would allow them to be in the precise place to safely enter the earth's atmosphere. The DPS, designed to land the LM on the Moon, had sufficient fuel to make the engine burns needed for the nearly 4 days to return to the earth.
