Apollo 13 Mission
Apollo 13 was the thirteenth in a series of missions using Apollo-specification flight hardware and was to be the third lunar landing. The launch vehicle and spacecraft were similar to those of Apollo 12. There were some differences in the makeup of the ALSEP.
Launch
The space vehicle was launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, at 2:13:00 p.m. EST on April 11, 1970. During the launch, the second-stage inboard engine shut down early because of high-amplitude longitudinal oscillations; however, near-nominal trajectory parameters were achieved at orbital insertion. The Earth-orbital and translunar injection phases went as planned.

Hi Larry,
With the Apollo 13 40th anniversary coming up this week, I've added new material to the Honeysuckle website - and most interestingly (to me, anyway) is audio from onboard the ARIA which acquired the spacecraft after it’s longer-than-usual re-entry blackout.
The audio was recorded by the Mission Co-ordinator, David Dunn, and he has only just digitized his tapes.
As well as the full 70 minutes of his tapes, I have online a "mix" file, where I combined the first 15 minutes of his file (on the left channel) and other audio I had (on the right channel) to give it context.
See http://www.honeysucklecreek.net for the start page.
The Apollo 13 section is here

The ARIA audio is in this Re-entry subsection -
