Was Apollo 13's travel coordinates in space ever mapped, and if so, do you know where to get it?

Yes they were mapped. I had a PBS special called "The flight of Apollo 13". It was an indepth 2 hour story complete with footage & interviews. The footage was really interesting because it showed what the execs were doing at Mission Control as it was happening. I wish I had the video, it's long lost, but I know that the mapping most certainly does exist as it gave great detail including what particular manuever was made and when.

The moon's orbit is elliptical, and the distance varies quite a bit (it varies from 225,745 mi. to 251,967 mi.)\n\nNow they actually know the distance to the moon to within a few inches. Apollo 11 astronauts left an array of corner mirrors on the moon. A corner mirror is three mirrors arranged like a corner of a box, all at right angles to each other. Such a mirror reflects light directly back toward the source of the light. Scientists shine a laser at the moon, and measure the time it takes to reflect back. They can measure this time to within a tiny fraction of a second. So they deduce the distance to the moon (at any given time) to within a few inches.

YES YES Google Maps has the best 3D Satelite maps. We use it all the time... Good Luck

We've sent 9 missions to the Moon. Apollo 8 and 10 orbited the Moon only. Apollo 13 had an explosion on the way out, swung around the Moon, and came back to Earth. Apollo 11,12,14,15,16,and 17 landed on the Moon as the Command Modules with one astronaut aboard orbited the Moon. (Apollo 7, the first succesful flight stayed in Earth orbit, and Apollo 9 also stayed in Earth orbit to test the first Lunar Module that was manned.)

I'm going to guess you mean Apollo 13.  Here they are:\n\nJames A. Lovell (flew on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13), commander \n\nJohn Swigert (flew on Apollo 13), command module pilot (replacing original CMP, Ken Mattingly) \n\nFred Haise (flew on Apollo 13), lunar module pilot

It depends on what you are sending.  The Apollo missions were the last set of *manned* missions to the moon, and here is the travel time:\nLaunched: 16 July 1969 UT 13:32:00 (09:32:00 a.m. EDT)<br />\nLanded on Moon: 20 July 1969 UT 20:17:40 (04:17:40 p.m. EDT)\nIt took about 4 days to get there.  Rocket technology has not change too much since then so you can expect that getting people to the moon at this point would take about the same amount of time.\nIf you are dealing with a non-human payload, you may be able to cut down time, both because it is likely lighter, and because you don't need to worry as much about damaging G-forces.\nI've included a link that has the history of all missions to the moon, manned and unmanned.

They used logbookd as we do now. THey used sextons, rope to check natical miles. And to find longitude they checked lunars.

Six times:  Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.  (Apollo 13 never landed, it had to abort the mission due to problems en route.)\n\nEach mission landed two men on the moon.\n\nAnybody who says zero (that they were faked) probably also believes the world is flat.

1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.\n\nApollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin\nApollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean\nApollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>\nApollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell\nApollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin\nApollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke\nApollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt\n\n\n2) Why haven't we been back?  \n\na) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.\n\nb) The "moon race" was an extension of the cold war. It was mostly about national prestige. We got there first and achieved our primary objective. There was some good science: surveys, measurements, sample collection. But it was mostly about being there first. Once we achieved our primary objective, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't.  Perhaps, if we discover He3 or something else valuable, there will be.\n\nc) I used to travel to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to ski. Because I don't go anymore, does it mean that I never went?\n\n\n3) What about the Van Allen radiation belts?  Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?\n\nThe existence of the Van Allen radiation belts postulated in the 1940s by Nicholas Christofilos.  Their existence was confirmed in *1958* by the Explorer I satellite launched by the USA. \n\nThe radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts is not particularly strong.  You would have to hang out there for a week or so in order to get radiation sickness.  And, because the radiation is not particularly strong, a few millimeters of metal is all that is required for protection.  "An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminum will receive about 2500 rem (25 Sv) per *year*."\n\n"In practice, Apollo astronauts who travelled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and received a harmless dose. [6]. Nevertheless NASA deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimise the radiation."  When the astronauts returned to Earth, their dosimeters showed that they had received about as much radiation as a couple of medical X-rays.\n\n\n4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?  \n\nIn 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. There were only about six or eight people who knew about it. However, those people, including Richard M. Nixon, the President of the United States, failed to keep that burglary a secret. It exploded into a scandal that drove the President and a number of others from office.\n\nIf six or eight people couldn't keep a hotel room burglary a secret, then how could literally thousands of people could have kept their mouths shut about six faked moon landings? Not just one moon landing, but six of them!\n\n\n5) What about the USSR?  \n\nEven if NASA and other government agencies could have faked the six moon landings well enough to fool the general public, they could NOT have fooled the space agency or military intelligence types in the USSR. The Soviets were just dying to beat us. If the landings were faked, the Soviets would have re-engineered their N-1 booster and landed on the moon just to prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.\n\n\n6) Why does the flag shake?  Where are the stars?  Who took the video of Neil Armstrong? \n\nTake a look at the first two websites listed below.  They deal well with all of the technical questions.\n\n\n7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

Apollo 13 and From the Earth to the Moon are the only movie or TV programs I know of where the flight of spacecraft was accurately portrayed.

Actually it was the service module of the Apollo 13 that contained the oxygen tank that malfunctioned.  \n\nThe astronauts used the lunar module still attached to the command module to stay alive until they were ready to use the command module to get back to earth.  NASA.gov is the straight facts and wikipedia.org gives a nice review.\n\n"Relics\nThe command module is currently displayed at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, Hutchinson, Kansas. It was formerly at the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, Paris. The lunar module burned up in Earth's atmosphere 17 April 1970, having been targeted to enter over the Pacific Ocean to reduce the possibility of contamination from a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) on board (had the mission proceeded as planned, the RTG would have been used to power the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package, and then remained on the Moon). The RTG survived reentry (as designed) and landed in the Tonga Trench. While it will remain radioactive for approximately 2000 years, it does not appear to be releasing any of its 3.9 kg of radioactive plutonium. [2] NASA has expressed a wish that the RTG be recovered." (wikipedia.org)\n\nThe Tonga Trench is off the coast of New Zealand.

You see the darkside during a fullmoon since what you see was the darkside two weeks earlier. I guess you mean the far side. That is a little harder but the Apollo program generated alot of pictures of the farside. Also numerous spaceprobes has mapped the entire surface of the moon. Should be plenty of pictures just on NASAs moon site.
