Apollo 13: Control Room - View of Mission Control Center during the Apollo 13 problem - View of the control room on 15 April 1970 as flight controllers studied the weather forecast in the South Pacific for the landing of the Apollo capsule. A group of flight controllers gather around the console of Glenn S. Lunney (seated, nearest camera), Shift 4 flight director, in the Mission Operations Control Room (MOCR) of Mission Control Center (MCC), located in Building 30 at the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC). Their attention is drawn to a weather map of the proposed landing site in the South Pacific Ocean. Among those looking on is Dr. Christopher C. Kraft, deputy director, MSC, standing in black suit, on right. When this photograph was taken, the Apollo 13 lunar landing mission had been canceled, and the problem - plagued Apollo 13 crew members were in trans - Earth trajectory attempting to bring their crippled spacecraft back home.
