  • Apollo 13 Mission Duration: A Detailed Timeline
    Apollo 13 traveled for approximately 10 days from launch to splashdown.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Launch: April 11, 1970

    * Lunar orbit insertion: April 13, 1970

    * Incident: April 13, 1970 (an oxygen tank exploded)

    * Lunar orbit departure: April 14, 1970

    * Earth entry and splashdown: April 17, 1970

    It's important to note that while the mission was scheduled for a three-day lunar landing, the explosion significantly altered the flight path and extended the overall duration.
