Color 34 x 14.25 print of the “Apollo 13 Mission Control Console 7 - EECOM,” which contains readings and measurements related to the Apollo 13 disaster on April 13, 1970, signed in black felt tip, “‘Houston, we’ve had a problem here!’ Fred Haise, Apollo 13 LMP.” Rolled and in fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication.
Just before a scheduled shift change, Flight Controller (EECOM) Sy Liebergot requested a procedural 'stir' of the cryogenic tanks in the Service Module. A short while after the applicable switches were activated in the Command Module by Command Module Pilot Jack Swigert, a short circuit occurred between wires or in the fans of O2 Tank 2 due to undetected pre-launch damage. This led to a fire and a rapid rise in pressure that eventually caused the tank dome to fail, explosively releasing the O2 into the Service Module bay. This resulted in the bay door covering that sector of the Service Module being blown off hitting the nearby high-gain antenna causing a temporary loss of telemetry. This graphic represents the situation displayed to Sy Liebergot when the telemetry resumed.
