Swigert was one of three astronauts aboard the Apollo 13 moon mission, which was aborted after the rupture of an oxygen tank on the spacecraft’s service module. Swigert and fellow astronauts James A. Lovell, Jr., and Fred W. Haise, Jr., returned safely to earth on April 17 after approximately 5 days and 23 hours in space. He later became staff director of the Committee on Science and Technology of the US House of Representatives. Elected to Colorado’s newly created Sixth Congressional District in 1982, he died on December 27, 1982, before taking office. Color 8 x 10 NASA photo of Swigert posing in his spacesuit with a model of a lunar lander, signed and inscribed in black ink “To Jan v/d Elsen, Best wishes, Jack Swigert.” In fine condition.
