Lunar Orbiter Mosaic of the Fra Mauro Site ( 0.9 Mb )

This composite shows the area from just east of Cone Crater westward past the landing site. Compare with the 2-LS-1 EVA-2 map linked below.

The grid lines in this large scale map are 250 meters apart. The map is centered on the planned LM landing site at CQ.0/65.0. The planned stop at the rim of Cone Crater is 1.4 km ENE of the LM at DA.0/90.0.

The original NASA caption reads: "Astronaut Alan B. Shepard and Edgar D. Mitchell plan to make two Extravehicular Activities (EVA) on the lunar surface after landing NASA's Apollo 14 spacecraft on the Moon. The predicted landing point in the Fra Mauro area is 3 degrees 40 minutes 19 seconds south latitude; 17 degrees 29 minutes 46 seconds west longitude. Shown are the two traverses the astronauts will take. Number one consists of first deploying and setting up the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package (ALSEP) and also the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector (LRRR), going to the sample area, then a traverse around Doublet Crater then back to the lunar module. (This traverse is shown by a dashed line.) After a rest period the second EVA will start. This is shown by a dashed-dot line and will go to Cone Crater, a distance of approximately one mile. If time permits on their return, an alternate trip will be made around Triplet Crater. While astronauts Shepard and MItchell are on the lunar surface, Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, will be orbiting the Moon." 23 November 1970. Scan by Frederic Artner.

This is map 2-LS-1 EVA-2, which Ed Mitchell carried on the traverse to the rim of Cone Crater. The grid lines are 50 meters apart. The targeted LM landing site is at CQ.0/65.0, which is at the left edge of the map due west of the north rim of North Triplet. The planned stop at the rim of Cone Crater is Station C at DA.0/90.0. See, also, details for the western ( 0.6 Mb ) and eastern ( 0.8 Mb ) parts of the planned route. Scan courtesy Stephen Tellier, LPI.

109:46:23 Post-landing LMP Window Pan ( 257k )

The frames are AS14-65-9202 to 9207. Assembled by Karl Dodenhoff.

The frames are AS14-65-9209 to 9215. Assembled by Karl Dodenhoff.

Combination of the two window pans by Karl Dodenhoff.

Al took this pan from a position just northeast of the LM. Assembly by Adam Bootle.

An artistic version ( 160k ) has been assembled by Chris Wells. Sharp-eyed readers will note that, because Al took the pan from a spot close to the LM, the top of the spacecraft is not actually visible. Chris has added black sky to give continuity with adjacent frames.

Dave Byrne has created a third version ( 360k ).

Ricardo Salamé has assembled frames 9250 to 54 ( 146k ), showing the LM.

Erik van Meijgaarden has combined frames 9254 and 9255 as a 4 o'clock portrait of the LM (1.2Mb).

Al took this pan from a position southeast of the LM. It consists of frames AS14-66-9271 to 9293. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

Al took this pan from a position west of the LM. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

Mike Constantine has created a continuous version (1.0Mb) in QuickTime format.

David Harland has used AS14-66-9305 and 9306 to show the LM with Cone Ridge just to the left of the spacecraft ( 0.9 Mb ).

Ed and Al used the color magazine on Ed's camera to take a series of pictures of the site after EVA-1. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

Frames AS14-68-9404 and 9405 both show Al walking toward the MET with the double core. This assembly uses Al's image from 9404. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

David Harland has combined 9405 and the lefthand portion of 9404 to create a mini-pan ( 2.0 Mb ) of Al at the MET with the double core.

David Nathan has assembled a high-resolution partial pan ( 5.7 Mb ) showing Al, the MET, and the LM, using Al's image from 9405. Because Al was moving, the shape and position of his shadow is different in all the frames in which it is visible, namely, 9404-9407. As can be seen in a comparison between the raw assembly and the final assembly ( 177k ), David used the nearly complete shadow available in 9405, added the missing upper portion, and eliminated the shadows in 9406 and 9407 which Shepard produced once he got the front of the MET.

Although the human eye does a far better job than the camera does of picking out the thin ovals appearance of all but the closest craters, Al's Station B pan gives an idea of the problem involved in trying to figure out where, exactly, they were. The frames are AS14-64- 9049 to 9072. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

The frames are AS14-64- 9075 to 9097. Al's pan contains two famous pictures of Ed studying the map, trying to figure out where they are. An assembly by Dave Byrne ( 276k ) uses AS14-64-9088, which shows Ed with his back to us; while an alternative assembly by David Harland ( 345k ) uses a profile portrait of Ed, AS14-64-9089.

Marv Hein has created a VR version ( 0.5 Mb ) of the Harland assembly.

Erik van Meijgaarden has created a high-resolution mini-pan ( 0.8 Mb ) using portions of AS14-64-9088 and 9089.

Ed took this pan while Al stows the close-up camera on the MET, having just used it on Big Rock, which is next to Ed. The frames are AS14-68-9415 to 9429. Pan assembled by Dave Byrne.

I have cropped Dave Byrne's assembly of the Station B2 pan to show the portion from just south of down-Sun around to the north to just south of up-Sun. Assuming that horizontal distance on the image from down-Sun is proportional to azimuthal distance, a measurement of the distance on the image from down-Sun to up-Sun allows me to calculate the lateral positions of intermediate azimuths. From Station B2, the center of Cone Crater is approximately 52 degrees north of east and a tangent to the rim of Cone drawn from B2 is 34 degrees north of east. These two directions are indicated in the image. Because of camera optics, horizontal distance on the image is not strictly proportional to azimuthal distance; but, because we are interested here only in azimuthal distances across one or more Hasselblad frames, the errors are not important.

I have combined AS14-68-9421 and 9422 to create an up-Sun showing Al pulling the MET and, to the left of the Sun, the high-point he has been moving toward. In a labeled version ( 2.0Mb ), I have indicated the approximate directions of (1) a tangent to the south rim - marked 'South Rim' - and (2) the center of Cone Crater. If Al and Ed want to reach the crater rim, they have to head at least slightly leftward of the 'South Rim' direction.

Ed's pan was taken during a brief rest stop on the climb up Cone Ridge. The frames are AS14-68- 9430 to 9442. Pan assembled by Dave Byrne.

Cropped version of Dave Byrne's assembly of the Station B3 pan with the approximate directions of the center of Cone Crater (82 degrees north of east) and a tangent to the south rim (42 degrees east of north) marked.

Al took this pan when he and Ed finally gave up their unsuccessful search for the rim of Cone Crater. The frames are AS14-64- 9098 to 9122. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

David Harland has assembled the portion showing the view to the west and around to the north ( 180k ). The Cone rim is just out of sight to the north.

David Harland has combined 9019, 9021, and 9022 to create of protrait of the MET at the Station C-Prime Crater ( 2.3 Mb ). The crater is numbered 1101 in a detail ( 305k ) from Plate 2 in USGS Professional Paper 880. An alternate version ( 0.9 Mb ) has been cropped and the reseau crosses have been removed.

Erwin D'Hoore has created red-blue anaglyphs from pairs of frames between 9100 and 9108.

Jim Scotti has created an anaglyph from 9102 and 9103 ( 752k ).

Erik van Meijgaarden has created a mini-pan ( 0.5 Mb ) of Ed at the MET, using AS14-64-9117 to 9120.

This series of photos by Ed Mitchell shows Contact Rock (left), Saddle Rock (right), and Layered Rock (center). In USGS Professional Paper 880, Geology of the Apollo 14 Landing Site, in the Fra Mauro Highlands, the gap between the two portions of the mini-pan is estimated to be 1.5 degrees wide. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

Al made a quick side trip to examine this boulder, now known as Weird Rock, during the traverse to Station F. He took a three-photo portrait, which has been assembled by David Harland.

Al and Ed stopped to do Station F not far west of Weird Rock. One frame of Al's pan shows Ed working at the MET. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

David Harland has assembled the portion of the pan that shows Cone Ridge ( 122k ) and, in the foreground, Weird Rock.

Al took this pan after finishing a trench. The LM is down-Sun of their present location, partly obscured by an intervening ridge. The frmaes are AS14-64-9167 to 9187Assembly by Dave Byrne.

This detail of Ed at the MET from Al's Station G pan was assembled by Mike Constantine.

Ed took this pan near Turtle Rock, the largest member of a boulder field north of the LM. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

Erik van Meijgaarden has combined 9486 and 9487 as a portrait of Al at the LM ( 392k ).

At some point after the PLSS jettison at 136:26:06, Ed Mitchell took a series of photos out his window. The frames are AS14-66-9335 to 9343. Assembled by Karl Dodenhoff with the additon of 9333, which was taken out Al's window

. Lennie Waugh has assembled a mini-pan ( 132k ) using frames AS14-66-9338, 40, 41, and 42.

Al Shepard (left) holds the scoop high enough that Ed Mitchell can take the sample without bending, something he would not be able to do easily in the pressure suit on the Moon. Note that Al is wearing a stereocamera that was under development but was never flown. Journal Contributor Markus Mehring tells us that the red dot at the top left on the back of the 16-mm camera in the right foreground is "the end of film warning light, which lights up when there are less than 6 feet of film left in the magazine." The 16-mm camera was manufactured by Mauer and their label is at the bottom left on the back of the camera. A bettery pack (DAC Power Pack) is attached to the righthand side of the camera. Mehring notes, "The white cable below is the connector cable providing the DAC with power from the batteries. The DAC didn't have internal batteries, it always drew its power via a cable from the spacecraft circuits. And during mobile EVA usage, they of course didn't have that available, so they came up with this battery solution." Mission photo AS14-64-9121 shows the flight article. Research by J.L. Pickering.

Journal Contributor Danny Caes calls attention to the fact that Shepard appears to have a 'double bubble' helmet. Ed Hengeveld tells us that Shepard was actually wearing a clear, protective cover over his bubble helmet to keep it from getting scratch. An example can be seen to the right on the table in Apollo 17 pre-flight photo KSC-72P-537. The protective cover only covered the forward three-quarters of the bubble helmet. Scan by J.L. Pickering.

Al Shepard collects a sample with the tongs during a training exercise at the Cape in July 1970. Note that he has his left side visor down and his gold UV visor only halfway down. Jack Schmitt says that the grey box on the bracket attached to Al's RCU "is a training mock-up of the stereocamera that was under development by a small company for NASA. It was all that remained of Gene Shoemaker's dream of an automated Geological Surveying Staff." Development of the Lunar Geological Exploration Camera was unsuccessful.

Al Shepard (right) is training with the Modular Equipment Transporter (MET) in NASA's KC-135 aircraft at one-sixth g. Ed Mitchell follows at the back of the MET. The aircraft pilot flew the KC-135 in a series of parabolas and, on the descending branch, gave the crew about a half minute of one-sixth g. Then, as the pilot pulled up into the ascending branch, the crew experienced high g-forces and, before that happened, the support personnel helped them get down on the floor so they would not have to support themselves and the suddenly weighty suits. 4 November 1970.

Lab photo of the Lunar Portable Magnetometer (LPM) which was flown on Apollo 14 and Apollo 16. The box (lower left) containing the three-component readout gauges, the on/off switch and the high/low-gain switch was mounted on the MET (Apollo 14) or the back of the Rover (Apollo 16). The tripod was deployed 15 meters away from the MET or Rover and, as the tripod was carried out to the deployment site, the ribbon cable unwound off both sides of the centrally-mounted cable reel. Once the astronaut deployed the tripod, he went back to the MET/Rover and initiated a measurement. After waiting a pre-determined amount of time for transients to damp out, he read the X, Y and Z values on each of the two gain settings. He then went out to the tripod and changed the orientation of the sensor head at the top of the tripod, returned to the MET/Rover and made another measurement. Once the measurement series was finished, he retrieved the tripod, brought it back to the MET/Rover and rewound the cable using the handle visible on the right-hand side of the reel. Both Ed Mitchell (Apollo 14) and John Young (Apollo 16) had a great deal of trouble rewinding the cable.

Some images are currently available only as low-resolution scans provided by NASA Johnson in the mid-1990s. The individual scans have TARGA filenames. Markus Mehring has compiled cross-references between those filenames and the NASA photo ID designations customarily used. Other images are available as higher resolution scans from prints and, unless otherwise credited, were provided by Kipp Teague. Beginning in 2004, NASA began to provide scans from original film and, as they become available to the ALSJ, we are using them to replace all prior versions. The scans from original film were done at approximately 4000 by 4000 pixels and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent. They are labeled "OF300".

Unless otherwise noted, all images processed by Kipp Teague from raw scans provided by NASA Johnson. Images labeled "OF300" are from the original film and are presented at the equivalent of 300 DPI on an 7.5 inch by 7.5 inch reproduction.

132:50:31 Rightward of 9087. Excellent picture of Ed from Al's Station B1 pan. Ed has his back to the camera, trying to figure out where they are.

The next frame from Al's Station B1 pan, showing Ed studying the traverse map. This is one of the better known pictures taken during Apollo. Ed has turned, but is still trying to puzzle out where they are. This photograph is symbolic of the traverse as a whole. We can see Ed's camera handle and his tongs tethered on his left hip.

Rightward of 9089, showing the back of Ed's PLSS.

Rightward of 9090, toward Old Nameless at the right center.

Rightward of 9091.

Rightward of 9092, looking over the MET. Note that there aren't as many boulders visible in this direction as there were uphill of their current location. This picture is taken more or less toward the south so that shadows cast by any rocks in the scene would be visible.

Rightward of 9093, across the top of the MET. The object just to the right of the 16-mm camera is the gnomon, stowed in a pouch with its legs folded. Note that the MET carries a Hand Tool Carrier (HTC) virtually identical to the one used by the Apollo 12 crew.

Rightward of 9094, over the top of the MET. Note the core caps on the top of the HTC. The LM is at the righthand edge.

Rightward of 9095, centered on the LM.

Rightward of 9096, down-Sun to the LM, showing the MET shadow.

133:23:40 Al takes an excellent pan at Station C-Prime, starting with this down-Sun. The LM is near the lefthand edge. Al and Ed are in the midst of a field of small boulders. As we now know, they are about 75 meters SE of the southern rim of Cone Crater. Note the split boulder at the righthand edge of the photograph.

In the high-resolution version, a small, light-colored object appears about half a fiducial spacing to the right of the LM and is probably the ALSEP Central Station. Using the USGS map ( 4.3 Mb ), we can calculated that the angular separation of the LM and Central Station as seen from Station C-Prime is about 3.8 degrees, which is consistent with the separation in this image.

133:23:40 Rightward of 9098. The Station C1 white boulder, now known as Saddle Rock, is on the local horizon to the right of center, as indicated in a detail.

Rightward of 9099, showing Saddle Rock just to the left of center.
