NASA A group of four views of the Apollo 13 crew Commander James Lovell prime crew Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise, prime crew Command Module Pilot Ken Mattingly and back-up Command Module Pilot Jack Swigert preparing for the mission. Included in the group is a portrait of the original prime crew of Apollo 13 (first photograph) September 1969-April 1970 Four vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, each 20.3 x 25.4 cm (8 x 10in), with NASA Kennedy Space Center captions on the versos Footnotes: A portrait of the original prime crew of Apollo 13 (first photograph) as well as three individual portraits of prime crewmembers James Lovell and Fred Haise and back-up crewmember Jack Swigert. The drama of Apollo 13 began even before the flight was under way. By early April 1970, mission commander James Lovell and his crew, command module pilot Ken Mattingly and lunar module pilot Fred Haise, had trained for almost a year to explore the Moon's Fra Mauro highlands. When the crew was exposed to German measles, NASA doctors feared that Mattingly, the only one of the crew not immune to the illness, might become sick during the mission. Despite Lovell's objections, Mattingly was replaced by his backup, Jack Swigert, just days before launch.
