Apollo 13 Mission Patch - NASA’s Iconic Spaceflight Emblem #1645496 (License: Personal Use)

This circular mission patch features three golden horses galloping across a celestial backdrop, with the Sun rising behind them, Earth trailing below, and the Moon in the lower right quadrant. Encircling the design is the mission name “APOLLO XIII” and the Latin motto “EX LUNA, SCIENTIA” (“From the Moon, Knowledge”), reflecting the mission’s scientific objectives despite its in-flight crisis.

Used on NASA documentation, memorabilia, educational materials, and museum exhibits, this image represents Apollo 13’s legacy-highlighting resilience, engineering triumph, and the pursuit of knowledge after the near-disaster en route to the Moon.
