The first time they lost contact was because they went to the dark side of the Moon. The second time was the usual reentry time, but Apollo 13's lasted the longest of all.
NASA did not build the aircraft for the Apollo missions. Instead, NASA used rockets and spacecraft to send astronauts to the moon during the Apollo program. The Apollo 16 mission used a Saturn V rocket to launch the spacecraft carrying the astronauts.
The program's name was Apollo, and accomplished the first manned landing on the Moon with Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969.
Astronauts for the Apollo 13 mission trained at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, which is located in Houston, Texas.
NASA experienced several setbacks during the Apollo program, including the tragic Apollo 1 fire that resulted in the loss of three astronauts. However, they ultimately succeeded in landing astronauts on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
The three astronauts of Apollo 13 are James Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred. W. Haise.

As an agency of the US federal government, NASA itself has never left the Earth's surface. But six pairs of astronauts landed on the moon between 1969 and 1972, on missions that were part of the Apollo program, which was administered by NASA.
