The first problem encountered during the Apollo 13 mission was an explosion in one of the service module's oxygen tanks, which occurred on April 13, 1970, just two days after launch. This explosion severely damaged the spacecraft's systems and led to a loss of electrical power and life support capabilities. The crew and mission control had to quickly devise a plan to conserve resources and safely return to Earth, making it a critical moment in the mission's history.
