Description
Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission of NASA's Apollo program and the third intended to land on the moon. The crew consisted of Commander James A. Lovell, Command Module Pilot John L. ''Jack'' Swigert and Lunar Module Pilot Fred W. Haise Jr. The mission launched on April 11, 1970 but was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days into the flight. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat and a shortage of water the crew safely returned to Earth on April 17. Listed for auction is a very attractive commemorative cover which contains the authenticated autographs of the Apollo 13 crew. The cover commemorates the Apollo 13 crew and is signed as follows. ''F.W. Haise'', ''Jack Swigert'', and ''James Lovell'' in black ink. The cover is postmarked Cape Canaveral, FL, APR 11, 1970, [launch date] and is affixed with one U.S. postage stamp. The cover measures 6.50 x 3.75 inches and is in fine condition. The autographs have been authenticatedby Zarelli Space Authentication and will be accompanied with the above Letter of Authenticity. Also included in the auction is a quality color crew photograph [8.00 x 10.00], an Apollo 13 cloth mission patch and a professional engraved plaque which reads as follows, ''Apollo 13 James A. Lovell : Jr. John L. Swigert : Fred W. Haise Jr. April 11, 1970 Mission Duration 5 days, 22 hours, 54 minutes, 41 seconds. Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program and the third meant to land on the moon. The craft was launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 11, 1970, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank in the service module [SM] failed two days into the mission. The crew instead looped around the Moon and returned safely to Earth on April 17''. The crew photograph, patch and engraved plaque are everything needed to complete a stunning display. The autographs of the Apollo 13 crew are a favorite of the space collector but can be difficult to obtain because of the early passing of Jack Swigert. The cover is a desirable example, authenticated, in fine condition, ideal for display and will be a great addition to any collection.
