Apollo 13 Mission Control


Panoramic view of the crowded Mission Operations Control Room during post-recovery ceremonies aboard the USS Iwo Jima, prime recovery ship for the Apollo 13 mission. The Apollo 13 spacecraft splashed down in the South Pacific at 12:07 PM CST, April 17, 1970. The smooth splashdown and recovery operations brought an end to a perilous spaceflight for the crewmembers, and a tiring one for Mission Control.
