Description
Originally issued in April 1970 by NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center, the Apollo 13 Flight Plan served as the complete operational schedule and procedures guide for the mission intended to be the third lunar landing. This facsimile edition faithfully reproduces the original document, preserving the precise formatting, technical tables, and detailed instructions used by NASA engineers, flight controllers, and the Apollo 13 crew.
Covering all phases of the mission—from launch and translunar flight to planned lunar descent, surface operations, rendezvous, and Earth return—the plan provides an authentic look at NASA’s mission architecture on the eve of the flight. Though Apollo 13 became defined by its dramatic in-flight emergency, the Flight Plan itself reflects the mission as it was initially intended.
An essential reference for historians, students, engineers, and space enthusiasts, this edition offers a rare and accurate window into the operational groundwork behind one of NASA’s most remarkable and challenging missions.
