Using spaces introduced by Anick, we construct a decomposition into indecomposable factors of the double loop spaces of odd primary Moore spaces when the powers of the primes are greater than the first power. If $n$ is greater than 1, this implies that the odd primary part of all the homotopy groups of the $2n\,+\,1$ dimensional sphere lifts to a mod ${{p}^{r}}$ Moore space.
