Three views of the powered-down Command Module Odyssey as seen from the windows of the Lunar Module Aquarius, Apollo 13, April 1970. Numbered 'NASA AS13-62-8955,' 'NASA AS13-62-8958,' and 'NASA AS13-62-9032' (NASA MSC),respectively, in red on the recto u.l. margin. Vintage chromogenic prints on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image sizes to 7 1/4 x 7 in. (18.3 x 17.5 cm),unmatted.
Condition: Good.

N.B. These views of the exterior of the spacecraft heading back to Earth were taken from the lifeboat LM Aquarius docked to the CSM Odyssey. The Sun reflects in the rendezvous window and over the Command Module (first image),but the hatch of the powered-down Odyssey is visible in the last two images. The crew were forced to shut down the Command Module to conserve its batteries and save its oxygen for use in reentry.
Estimate $400-600
