The rocket to launch Apollo 13 was the Saturn 5 rocket.
The original crew of Apollo 13 consisted of Commander Jim Lovell, Command Module Pilot John Swigert, and Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise. Jim Lovell had previously flown on Apollo 8 and Apollo 11, while John Swigert and Fred Haise were making their first spaceflight. However, due to a change in the crew before launch, Ken Mattingly, who was initially assigned as Command Module Pilot, was replaced by Swigert after he was exposed to German measles.
The Apollo mission 14 launch date was January 31, 1971.
Apollo 7 launched from the Air Force Station's launch pad LC-34 (this was the only Apollo mission that did not launch from Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39-A)
Apollo 1 was supposed to launch on February 21, 1967.

Apollo 12 was launched in December 1969.
Apollo 15 was launched in July 1971.
The Apollo 11 Command Module had a mass of about 12,800 kilograms (28,200 pounds) at launch.
The backup crew for Apollo 11 was James Lovell (CDR), Fred Haise (LMP) and Ken Mattingly (CMP). They later became the prime crew for Apollo 13, though Mattingly was removed from the Apollo 13 crew a few days before launch due to exposure to measles. Jack Swigert, Apollo 13 backup CMP, replaced him. Mattingly later filled what would likely have been Swigert's originally-planned seat on Apollo 16.
Apollo 10 was launched from Cape Kennedy Florida.
