Apollo 13 was the third mission aimed at landing on the Moon and was launched on April 11, 1970. Unfortunately, one of the oxygen tanks in the service module exploded. This happened because of the explosion of the fuel cell tank that resulted in the loss of power and oxygen. An insulation wire inside the tank was damaged which led to the explosion. Therefore, the crew had to cancel the plan to land on the Moon. However, they orbited around the Moon and returned safe on April 17, 1970.

          Apollo 13 was commanded by Jim Lovell and the crew included Jack Swigert and Fred Haise.
