Description
(Original Caption) SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON-4/15/70-: Apollo 13 flight controllers study a map of the South Pacific deciding the exact point for which to aim Apollo 13 during its crucial re-entry 4/17. Another burn of the Apollo 13 rocket engine must be made for the astronauts to bring their crippled spacecraft back to Earth. In programming the burn flight, directors will attempt to avoid a storm currently in the South Pacific recovery area. Seated left is Glynn Lunney, a flight director. Others are unidentified.
