(Oklahoma City-AP) -- University of Oklahoma graduate and Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise is one of five people who'll be enshrined in the Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame.

Haise was the lunar module pilot on the mission that's come to be known as a "successful failure." The three astronauts on board returned safely to earth after an explosion forced them to abort their mission in April 1970.

Also to be inducted into the hall on Saturday are Lu Hollander, Christine Lawrence, Major General Jerry Holmes and William John Frye.
