Apollo 13
Source: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/missions/apollo13.html Mission Objective:
Apollo 13 was supposed to land in the Fra Mauro area. An explosion on board forced Apollo 13 to circle the moon without landing. The Fra Mauro site was reassigned to Apollo 14. Crew:
James A. Lovell Jr., Commander
Fred W. Haise Jr., Lunar Module Pilot
John L. Swigert Jr., Command Module Pilot -
Apollo 14
Source: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/missions/apollo14.html Mission Objective:
The primary objectives of this mission were to explore the Fra Mauro region centered around deployment of the Apollo Lunar Surface Scientific Experiments Package, or ALSEP; lunar field geology investigations; collection of surface material samples for return to Earth (…). Crew:
Alan B. Shepard Jr., Commander
Edgar D. Mitchell, Lunar Module Pilot
