APOLLO 13 EARTH ORBITAL CHART, SIGNED
HAS THE ONLY FLIGHT EVENTS THAT WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN, BUT...
Apollo Earth Orbit Chart (AEO), Apollo Mission 13 for April 1970 Launch Date. Color Earth map, first edition, March 3, 1970. 13 x 42 inches. With a Houston, TX April 17, 1970 postmark (date of splashdown) on a "First Man on the Moon" stamp.
SIGNED and INSCRIBED: "FRED HAISE, Apollo 13 LMP." He has marked the splashdown area with an "X."
Circular plots in black represent the ground station communication coverage areas with the ones in red being the ocean station tracking ships. Orbital paths show the full launch range azimuths of 72 to 108 degrees. During this part of the mission, almost all events went as planned. But during the Saturn V flight under second stage thrust, "pogo" or longitudinal oscillations caused the center J-2 engine to shut down. The remaining four J-2's and a longer than planned burn of the third stage allowed Apollo 13 to achieve the desired orbit.
