The Apollo 13 mission, launched on April 11, 1970, was the third crewed mission intended to land on the Moon. However, due to an oxygen tank explosion in the service module, the lunar landing had to be aborted, and the mission became a dramatic rescue operation to bring the astronauts safely back to Earth. As a result, Apollo 13 never reached the lunar surface, and its views of the Moon were limited to its trajectory around it.
