Experience the Apollo 13 mission in real-time during its 50th anniversary

Saturday afternoon marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Apollo 13 mission, dubbed the "successful failure" of the Apollo program.

Although an explosion prevented astronauts James Lovell Jr., John Swigert Jr. and Fred Haise Jr. from participating in the third planned lunar landing, NASA's engineers and flight control teams at the Apollo Mission Control Center worked with the astronauts to safely return them to Earth.

The Apollo 13 project joins two others on Feist's site, a NASA-funded project including real-time explorations of the Apollo 11 and Apollo 17missions. Feist also performed audio restoration for the Apollo 11 documentary, directed by Todd Douglas Miller, that aired on CNN in 2019 for the 50th anniversary of the mission.
