S70-35013 --- Prototype of the "mail box" constructed at the
Manned Spacecraft Center to remove carbon dioxide from the Apollo
13 Command Module is displayed in the Mission Control Center.
The 'mail box' was constructed when it became apparent that
carbon dioxide was prevalent in the Command Module and the spacecraft's
lithium hydroxide system was not removing it sufficiently. Looking
at the "mail box" are, from left: Milton Windler, shift 1 flight
director; Dr. Donald (Deke) Slayton, director of flight crew
operations, MSC; Howard Tindall, deputy director, flight operations,
MSC; Sigurd Sjoberg, director, flight operations, MSC; Dr. Christopher
Kraft, deputy director, MSC; and Dr. Robert Gilruth, director,
MSC. |
