This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 42 Apollo 13, An Early Propulsive Maneuver would normally have been task for Service Module Propulsion System, Apollo 13 was Third Manned Mission Intended to Land on the Moon, Explosion in One of Two Oxygen Tanks in Service Module led to Damage to & Leakage from Second Service Module Oxygen Tank, Lunar Module's Descent Engine was also used for Two Later Course-Correction Maneuvers, Shutdown of Electricity- & Water- Generating Fuel Cell forced Command Module Operation on Limited Battery Power, Heroic Recovery Effort by Crew and Mission Control Team was subject of 1995 Feature Movie, Limited Consumables: Planned 2 Crew for 2 Days vs Required 3 Crew for 4 Days involved Water, Battery Capacity & CO2 Chemical Absorption, Shutdown of Command Module required use of Lunar Module as a 'Lifeboat', Explosion in One of Two Oxygen Tanks in Service Module occurred at April 13, 1970, 03:07:53.555 UTC @ 321,860 km from Earth, Abort required New Trajectory for Return to Earth via Lunar Swing-by, Abort initiated Heroic Recovery Effort by Crew and Mission Control Team, An Early Propulsive Maneuver was carried out using Lunar Module's Descent Engine, Lunar Module as a 'Lifeboat' was Jettisoned Prior to Earth Re-Entry, Jettisoned Prior to Earth Re-Entry after Crew Returned to Command Module, Abort was caused by Explosion in One of Two Oxygen Tanks in Service Module, Third Manned Mission Intended to Land on the Moon had Intended Landing Site in Frau Mauro Highlands, Third Manned Mission Intended to Land on the Moon suffered Abort, Water, Battery Capacity & CO2 Chemical Absorption necessitated Minimal Power Use & Water Consumption, Third Manned Mission Intended to Land on the Moon was crewed by Commander: James Lovell Lunar Module Pilot: Fred Haise Command Module Pilot: John Swigert, Intended Landing Site in Frau Mauro Highlands was chosen because Thought to Provide Access to Ejecta from Imbrium Basin
