Thomas Kenneth Mattingly II (March 17, 1936 – October 31, 2023) was an American aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, rear admiral in the United States Navy, and astronaut who orbited the Moon on Apollo 16 and flew on the STS-4 and STS-51-C missions.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Mattingly was replaced as Apollo 13 Command Module Pilot (CMP) three days before launch, then helped NASA bring the crippled spacecraft home. Mattingly flew as CMP for Apollo 16 and made 64 lunar orbits, becoming one of the 24 Apollo astronauts to reach the Moon. During Apollo 16's return to Earth, Mattingly performed an extravehicular activity to retrieve film cassettes from the command and service module. It was the second "deep space" EVA in history, at great distance from any planetary body.
