  • Apollo 13 Crew: Who Were the Astronauts?
    There was no Mercury astronaut assigned to fly on Apollo 13.

    The Apollo 13 mission had a crew of three astronauts:

    * Jim Lovell (Commander)

    * Jack Swigert (Command Module Pilot)

    * Fred Haise (Lunar Module Pilot)

    These astronauts were all part of the Apollo program, not the Mercury program. The Mercury program was a much earlier program that focused on single-person missions to Earth orbit. The Apollo program was focused on lunar missions.
