Apollo 13 CO2 Problem Discussed in Houston

Prototype of the "mail box" constructed at the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) to remove carbon dioxide from the imperiled Apollo 13 Command Module (CM) is displayed at the Mission Control Center, Houston, on April 15, 1970. The device was constructed when it became apparent that the crew was in danger of CO2 building to dangerous levels in the CM. A spacesuit exhaust hose would be connected to a lithium hydroxide canister to purge the cabin air. Present at mission control are (from the left): Milton L. Windler, shift 1 flight director; Dr. Donald K. (Deke) Slayton, director of flight crew operations, MSC; Howard W. Tindall, deputy director, flight operations, MSC; Sigurd A. Sjoberg, director, flight operations, MSC; Dr. Christopher C. Kraft, deputy director, MSC; and Dr. Robert R. Gilruth, director, MSC. The Apollo 13 craft and crew launched on April 11, 1970, but when an oxygen tank exploded two days later rendering the Service Module ineffective, the mission was aborted. The crew returned safely to Earth on April 17. NASA followed this mission with Apollo 14 in January 1971, which saw a successful Moon landing and safe return of its crew.
