Command Module (Odyssey)

The Command Module, named Odyssey, was a crucial part of NASA's Apollo 13 mission in 1970, designed to house astronauts during their journey to the Moon and back. It served as their living and working space, equipped with controls, navigation systems, and life support. When an onboard explosion jeopardized the mission, Odyssey became a lifeline, allowing astronauts to conserve power and resources while engineers on Earth guided them home. Its design emphasizes reliability and safety in space travel and represents human ingenuity in overcoming challenges during one of the most tense moments in space exploration history.
