Houston. Apollo 13, while still more than three months away, nevertheless already Is a major activity at the center. Its three-man crew headed by Navy Capt. james A.

Lovell Jr. is training for a March 12 liftoff toward the Moon. Apollo 13 will be marked by a greater emphasis on scientific exploration than either Apollo ll or 12. National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials are pretty well convinced, after Astronaut Charles Conrad's smooth and accurate landing of the Apollo 12 Intrepid, that more attention now can be given to scientific ventures and less to engineering. THIS IS what space scientists have been demanding all along.

The were encouraged recently when NASA Director Thomas 0. Paine said that the success of Apollo 12 means some of the 13 remaining astronaut-scientists likely will get the nod for Apollo missions late In 1970. So far none has flown In space, though scientists have insisted geologists should be sent to the Moon to get full value from Apollo missions. 'There still remain two questions to be answered for Apollo 13, and these must come soon for planning purposes. Will Apollo 13 astronauts land in the rugged Fra Mauro formation along the western equator of the Moon, or near the Crater Hyginus, with its sinuous 6.2-mile rllle whose most prominent feature Is a great cleft pocked by chain craters? APOLLO 12'S pinpoint landing virtually clinched the selection for the Fra Mauro region.

But the final decision must await further questioning of Conrad when he emerges from quarantine plus studies of light and shadow extremes at the time when Apollo 13 would be approachng Fra Mauro.

NASA officials, who often select strange sounding names for space equipment, call It a "modularized equipment transfer system." The astronauts have dubbed the vehicle a "ricksha," quite naturally, because it is a small, two-wheeled car that can either be pulled or pushed along the Moon's surface.
