Anaglyphs in the image libraries created from sequential panorama frames by the ALSJ editor exist only because of Yuri Krasilnikov's willingness to teach me the art. Whatever value the anaglyphs have is due to Yuri's insights and guidance. Flaws are my doing. Briefly, panorama stitching software Hugin is used to create both non-stereo pan assemblies and remapped versions of the images. The latter are then made into anaglyphs using GIMP. The individual remapped images are linked from the corresponding Library entries for the original frames. The remapped images can be used to create stereo views using other methods.

 

For those interested in the subject of Apollo Photography and the Color of the Moon, see a brief discussion written for the ALSJ by Michael Light.

 

Journal Contributor Paul White has made detailed comparisons of cloud patterns seen in a large number of Apollo images with imagery taken at close to the same time by various meteorlogical satellites.

 

This Apollo 14 Image Library contains all of the pictures taken on the lunar surface by the astronauts together with pictures from pre-flight training and pictures of equipment and the flight hardware. High-resolution version of many of the lunar surface images are included. A source for both thumbnail and low -resolution versions of the lunar surface images is a website compiled by Paul Spudis and colleagues at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. Additional information can be found in Apollo 14 Photography, Part 1 ( (1.5Mb ) and Part 2 ( 13Mb ).

Five LROC images October 2009 to February 2010 with 0.5 m/pixel resolution ( 0.9 Mb )

This composite shows the portions of the five LROC images covering the area from the ALSEP array to North Triplet. They are presented in order of sun angle, starting with the 08 January 2010 image which has the Sun lowest in the west and ending with 29 November 2009 with the Sun lowest in the east. The sequence shows the effect of sun angle on the visiblitity of artifacts, craters, and boulders, particularly equipment near the LM. Notice, too, variations in the appearance of areas of disturbed soil, particularly around the LM.
05 October 2009 01:27:49 UTC; Solar El/Az 86.3/54.6; LRO altitude 48 km, resolution 0.51 m/pixel (width) 0.55 m/pixel (height) ( 5 Mb )
With the Sun near the zenith, definition of EVA tracks on level ground near the LM is good. Definition is poorer on the relatively level ground at the geology stops near the rim of Cone Crater. The difference may be due to sweeping of the ground by engine exhaust around the LM during the final phase of the descent. The raw LROC image is M109345337LC.

Pre-Flight 1:25,000 Map of Fra Mauro ( 0.3Mb)
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. See, also, a high-quality scan of the similar Apollo 13 map along with a version showing elevation contours.
Pre-Flight Traverse Schematic Map (672k)
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.
Pre-Flight Apollo 14 Traverse Map ( 4.4Mb or 0.5Mb)
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.

Landing Site Location (a href="
Comparison between (1) LSE-5, (2) a detail from a deconvolved version of LROC image M127049821RE by Journal Contributor GoneToPlaid, and (3) AS14-65-9210 which Al took out his window before the EVA. Both the plus-Y (north) and minus-Y (south) footpads are clearly visible in the LROC image. Their positions indicate that the LM landed at CQ.3/65.9 rotated 18 degrees clockwise from the EW and NS axes. See a discussion following 110:05:15

Labelled ALSEP/LM/Station A from LROC image M127049821R (0.5 Mb)
This LROC image was taken at a solar elevation of 61 degrees. The relatively small range of surface brightness variation means that enhanced versions show areas of soil disturbed by the astronauts quite clearly. Among the labelled featres as two pieces of reflective material that show up at the same locations relative to nearby craters in both M127049821R and in M124687860R. The latter was taken at a solar elevation of 84 degrees. The fact that these reflections are seen in two LROC images taken under similar lighting conditions makes it likely that they are real, rather than artifacts in the LROC data. Both are labeled 'Kapton', although it is not certain that is what they are. LM/ALSEP/Stations A/G/H Map Detail (470k)

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.

132:34:22 Station B Pan (283k)
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.
132:50:31 Station B1 Pan (345k)
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.

132:57:52 Station B2 Pan (288k)
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.
132:57:52 Station B2 Northern View (262k)
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.
132:57:52 Station B2 Up-Sun View (2.0Mb)
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.
133:14:34 Station B3 Pan (275k)
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.
132:57:52 Station B3 Northern View (250k)
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.
133:23:40 Station C-Prime Pan (325k)
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.

Eric Jones has assembled high-resolution version of the southern portion (6Mb) and a version of the southern portion with analgyphs presented in context (11Mb). Al got enough overlap that the anaglyphs for a continuous stereo pan. The terrain at Station C-prime is quite rugged because of numerous large boulders and craters.

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.

133:40:48 Station C-1 Pan (123k)
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. The frames are AS14-68-9448 to 51. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

Frames 5449-51 have been used in a high-resolution portrait of Saddle Rock ( 3Mb ). Assembly by Eric Jones.

134:04:53 Weird Rock (71k)
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.
134:07:18 Station F Pan (261k)
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.

134:36:42 Station G Pan (257k)
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.
134:36:42 Station G Pan Detail - Ed at MET (172k)
This detail of Ed at the MET from Al's Station G pan was assembled by Mike Constantine.
135:01:30 Station H Pan ( 272k )
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).

136:26:06 Post-EVA-2 Window Pan (4.5 Mb)
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 Eric Jones Journal Contributor Mark Rosen calls attention to two small, fuzzy orange spots just above the lunar horizon and just to the left fo center. As detailed in a discussion, these appear in both 9337 and 9342 and are probably reflections of a light on Al's side of the cabin off the two panes of Ed's window.

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.

NASA caption: "Prime crew men and backup crew men, of the Apollo 14 lunar landing mission, look over an area near the site of a volcanic eruption on Dec. 30, 1969. Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr. (leaning with left hand on ground) and Edgar D. Mitchell (behind Shepard, wearing dark glasses) are the prime crew men scheduled to walk on the moon. Astronauts Eugene A. Cernan (almost obscured at extreme left) and Joe H. Engle (partially visible, on Cernan's right) are backup crew commander and lunar module pilot, respectively, for the mission. Others in the photograph are Pat Crosland (in hard hat), a geologist and a park ranger in Hawaii Volcanoes State Park; Michael C. McEwen (facing Mitchell) of the Geology Branch, Lunar and Earth Sciences Division, Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC); and astronaut Bruce McCandless II, who made the trip to serve as a spacecraft communicator during simulations of extravehicular activity (EVA) on the lunar surface. ". 2-4 April 1970. Scan downloaded from NASA.

Comparing this image with 70-H-757 suggests that the identifications of the backup-crew members are reversed. Both are behind Pat Crosland with Engle in the distinctive hat of the extreme left and, therefore, Cernan on Engle's left wearing a green-check shirt.

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.

S70-56721 (36k)
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.

Mission Photos by Magazine Number

 

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. These are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300". See a discussion from Arizona State University about the scanning process used on the original film.

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.

 

Magazine 64/LL (B&W) Frames 9046-9201

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.
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

Magazine 64 was used by Al Shepard during EVA-2.

AS14-64-9055 (OF300) ( 163k or 981k )
132:34:22 Rightward of 9054, over the top of the MET. Beyond the DAC, we can see what appear to be two sets of Met tracks crossing at right angles. One set goes from left to right and is obviously the first set Al made. At about 132:33:32 when Ed thinks he may have spotted the planned Station B location, Al may have circled to his left to his left and have ended up crossing his own tracks on his way to the current MET location. See, also, the discussion of 9056.
AS14-64-9056 (OF300) ( 172k or 990k )
Rightward of 9055, over the MET, showing the smooth MET tracks near the MET's current location. In the background we can see disturbed soil almost as far as the partially buried boulder on the right. At that point, he seems to have circled to his left and conferred with Ed, possibly directly beyond the DAC., before crossing his own tracks toward the current MET location.

AS14-64-9092 (OF300) ( 199k or 1175k)
Rightward of 9091.
AS14-64-9093 (OF300) ( 144k or 932k)
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.
AS14-64-9094 (OF300) ( 121k or 856k)
Rightward of 9093, across the top of the MET. The legs of the magnetometer tripod are sticking up just to the right of the 16-mm movie camera. Note that the MET carries a Hand Tool Carrier (HTC) virtually identical to the one used by the Apollo 12 crew.

AS14-64-9096 (OF300) ( 109k or 910k )
Rightward of 9095, centered on the LM.
AS14-64-9097 (OF300) ( 115k or 917k )
Rightward of 9096, down-Sun to the LM, showing the MET shadow.
AS14-64-9098 (OF300) ( 188k or 1137k )
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.

AS14-64-9099 (OF300) ( 180k or 1074k )
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.

His upper sunshield is raised and the LM is just to the right of the sunshield tab. The ALSEP farther right. The close-up stereocamera is on the lefthand side of the MET. The west wall of the fragment-rich crater is on the left beyond Ed.

Erik van Meijgaarden has combined frames 9117 to 9120 in a mini-pan.

AS14-64-9121 (OF300) ( 149k or 897k )
133:23:40 Ed has moved out of the way and this picture gives us good detail of the front of the MET, including the triangular handle brace, the 16-mm camera, and the gnomon. The dustbrush that the astronauts use to dust themselves after each of the EVAs is hanging below the 16-mm camera on the right side of the MET. This brush is identical to the ones flown on the later missions. The white box attached to the side of the camera farthest from us is the battery pack. Training photo S70-34414 shows the battery pack and cables in more detail.

134:04:53 During the traverse to Station F, Al made a short detour to this large boulder while Ed continued on with the MET. Al had planned to step behind a large boulder - one bigger than himself - to see if there was any effect on communications with Ed or with Houston, but this boulder proved to be too small for the experiment. Before rejoining Ed, he did take three photographs of the boulder. This boulder is known as Weird Rock, after nearby Weird Crater. Note that Al has not changed focus since taking 9133, so all three photos of Weird Rock are out-of-focus.
AS14-64-9135 (OF300) ( 181k or 1041k )

AS14-66-9224 (OF300) ( 84k or 652k )
Earthrise from the LM on Rev 14. The prominent foreground crater is Meitner, which has a diameter of 87 km. Journal Contributor Henri Partanen notes that the photos in this sequence are very similar to an Apollo 12 earthrise series that starts with AS12-47-6879. Those photos were also taken at AOS just prior to descent initiation. Because the Apollo 12 and 14 landing sites are both equatorial and are only separated by about 10 degrees of longitude, the orbital planes are similar. A comparison of Celestia images of the Moon as viewed from Earth at the time of the two landings shows that the Moon was in similar libration states. Consequently, the views at AOS should be much the same. See, also, a labeled version ( 2.7 Mb ) by René Cantin.

ER*, the online nickname of an anonymous ALSJ contributor and member of Russian-language forums IXBT and Airbase, calls attention to an image of Venus in each of the five frames of the Earthrise sequence, 9224 to 9228. Details from the five frames have been combined as a PDF document, with each image cropped to put Venus and the crescent Earth at the same location. Thanks to Yuri Krasilnikov for calling attention to ER*'s discovery.

The next four frames were taken of Al Shepard by Ed Mitchell: two pictures from inside the LM and two out on the surface.

 

AS14-66-9229 (OF300) ( 127k or 836k )

113:52:32 Ed took this photo of Al out the right-hand, LMP window. Al is shading his eyes, probably looking up toward Cone Crater. Note the red stripe on the top of Al's helmet. This and similar stripes on his arms and legs help distinguish him from Ed, who has no stripes.
Watch Detail (OF300) ( 222k )
Lennie Waugh has captured a detail which gives us an excellent view of Al's Omega Speedmaster Watch, which reads approximately 9:00. Waugh notes that the picture was taken at about transcript time of 113:52. This time does not reflect a 40 minute 2.9 second mission clock update performed at 54:53:36 but, rather, is the time since the actual launch at 21:03 GMT/UTC on 31 January 1971. Consequently, the photo was taken at about 14:55 GMT/UTC on 5 February, or 08:55 US Central Standard Time. The astronauts kept their watches on Houston time, as confirmed by this detail.
AS14-66-9230 (OF300) ( 121k or 842k )
113:52:32 Ed took this photo of Al out the right-hand, LMP window. Al is shading his eyes, probably looking up toward Cone Crater. Note the red stripe on the top of Al's helmet. This and similar stripes on his arms and legs help distinguish him from Ed, who has no stripes. This photo provides good views of Al's cuff checklist, his Omega watch, and the strap-on pocket on his left thigh.
AS14-66-9231 (OF300) ( 88k or 720k )
114:44:02 Down-Sun Al at the U.S. flag. S-Band antenna shadow, Ed's shadow, the LM shadow. Al's OPS antenna is up.
AS14-66-9232 (OF300) ( 85k or 707k )
114:44:39 This is one of two tourist pictures of Al Shepard taken after deployment of the U.S. flag. Before taking this series, they turned the flag so that it was face on to the 16-mm DAC mounted on the MET. After they finished taking these three tourist pictures, they turned the flag so it was face on to the TV camera. See a discussion following 131:09:18.

 

At this point Ed passed the camera to Al Shepard. Note that unlike on Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 there are no pictures of the LMP descending the ladder.

 

AS14-66-9233 (OF300) ( 89k or 732k )

114:45:46 Down-Sun portrait of Ed at the U.S. flag. Note that the top flap of the strap-on pocket on his left thigh is open and we can see the Velcro strips on the inside suface that mate with corresponding strips on the front of the pocket to keep the top flap secure.
AS14-66-9234 (OF300) ( 273k or 1293k )
114:53:38 This photo shows the north footpad, which has dug into the surface. The LM was moving from left to right at touchdown, as indicated by the skid mark on the lefthand side and the mound pushed up on the righthand side. The bent landing probe is beyond the footpad.

AS14-66-9254 (OF300) ( 194k or 1151k )
114:53:38 Frame from Al's 4 o'clock pan. Right side and aft section of the LM, looking south. An excellent picture of the LM with many structural details are visible. The area under, and slightly behind the engine bell shows evidence of disturbed soil resulting from the Descent Engine exhaust. Also visible in the crater next to the rear (-Z) footpad is the track made by the probe as it scraped across the surface. The right (+Y) footpad has dug into the soft rim of a crater, causing the LM to slide slightly. Refer, also, to AS14-66-9269, a view of the left (-Y) footpad to see more evidence of this northward slide.

The lightweight construction of the LM is apparent in this picture. Minor buckling of panels covering the aft equipment bay and right side of the LM are visible. Notice also thermal damage done to the RCS plume deflectors. The extensive use of gold tape to secure the black insulation blankets can be seen.

AS14-66-9255 (OF300) ( 188k or 1112k )
114:53:38 View of the right side of the LM, and the right (+Y) strut in particular. The footpad is buried in the crater rim, and scrape marks of the probe are visible at the very top of the crater rim. The cosmic ray experiment package is attached to the lower part of the landing gear strut. Forward of the strut is the MESA (partially in shadow) and the S-Band antenna is at the far right of the picture. A labeled detail shows a helium vent associated with the descent stage oxidizer tanks as well and five others. See a discussion in the Apollo 11 Mobility chapter.

Rightward of 9275, LM shadow, ladder, U.S. flag, S-Band antenna shadow. The LRRR (Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector) is in the west footpad, waiting for Al to carry it out to the ALSEP deployment site. By illuminating the LRRR with laser pulses and measuring the time of return, experimenters on Earth can accurately measure the distance between their telescope and the LRRR and, over time, do such marvelous things as test Einstein's theory of General Relativity and look for evidence of crustal motions in the Moon. To the right of the LRRR, we see a second ALSEP package. Notice the craters to the West and North that Al narrowly avoided. The flag is full face to the TV camera, pointing on an azimuth of about 120. See a discussion following 131:09:18.

Shows the ALSEP site out Al's window. Journal Contributor Lennie Waugh notes that the LM shadow is much shorter than the one in 9317, which was taken after EVA-1, indicating that this picture was taken after EVA-2.
AS14-66-9334 (OF300) ( 63k or 864k )
Similar to 9333.
AS14-66-9335 (OF300) ( 64k or 893k )
This frame was probably taken out Ed's window, a conclusion based on the relative azimuths of some small foreground rocks and the ALSEP instruments.
AS14-66-9336 (OF300) ( 68k or 891k )
Similar to 9335.
AS14-66-9337 (OF300) ( 104k or 1056k )
Post-EVA-2 photo out Ed's window showing the 'javelin' and one of the golf balls in a crater northwest of the LM. The javelin is lined up with Turtle Rock in the distance and with the golf ball, which is slightly closer to us than the 'javelin'. A detail ( 275k ) shows the crater containing the javelin and golf ball. Lennie Waugh has produced a labeled version detailing Ed's Station H activities.

Journal Contributor Mark Rosen calls attention to two fuzzy orange spots at the horizon to the left of center. The color of the spots and the fact that they are a close pair suggests that they are reflection of a light inside the cabin off the two panes of Ed's window. The LM windows are angled at about 45 degrees to the X-Z plane, with the inner part of the window forward and the outer part aft. A camera aimed forward, parallel to the fore/aft Z axis, will see the objects on the far side of the cabin at about the same fore-aft location. The windows are also tilted with the top forward and the bottom aft, which means that a camera looking fowrward will see objects lower in the cabin. In Apollo 17 image AS17-145-22224, taken after EVA-3, one of the lights at the lower right may be what is seen reflected in AS14-66-9337.As shown in a comparison, the two orange spots also appear at about the same location in 9342. The two pictures were clearly taken from about the same place with similar pointing. The appearance of the two spots at about the same place

AS14-66-9338 (OF300) ( 115k or 759k )
Ed Mitchell took this splendid picture after he and Al Shepard jettisoned the PLSSs in preparation for launch. Of particular interest are the tracks made by the crew and the MET during the traverse to the ALSEP deployment site and during the return to the LM. Apollo 17 astronaut Jack Schmitt speculates that the descent plume sweeps away the fine particles of soil, leaving a surface dominated by small rock fragments that reflect sunlight from the down-Sun direction and make the surface look lighter in color than normal. In places where the surface is disturbed, the normal reflectivity of the surface is restored. Whatever the detailed explanation for this phenomenon, it is related to the fact that, from orbit, the area immediately surrounding a LM looks noticeably lighter in color. The ALSEP Central Station is about 180m from the LM. Note the excursions the crew made around the rimless crater in the foreground and the large depression in the middle distance that they traversed in both directions. Without the visual clues provided by the tracks, the depression is not easy to pick out in this down-Sun photo. Note that the flag is now pointing on an azimuth of about 335 and undoubtedly moved from it prior pointing of about 120 as a result of the cabin depressurization done for the jettison. See a discussion following 131:09:18.

Journal Contributor Yuri Krasilnikov has created a comparison between 9338, a 16-mm frame taken before the pre-launch RCS hot-fire check and a frame following the hot-fire check. Although the orientation of the first two images are different because of camera mounting, the flag orientation relative to, say, the PLSS, is the same. The final frame shows the result of the large flag motion during the hot-fire check. Krasilnikov also calls attention a difference in the orientation of the access flap on the flap shown as it was before the hot-fire check, closeest to the LM in a detail from 9338.

Journal Contributor Jim Scotti notes that we "can see the impact 'crater' and roll marks made by the PLSS farthest from the LM. It rolled on it's side and you can see a fair bit of detail in the hoses and straps on the righthand side of it." Various PLSS imprints are indicated in a detail.

AS14-66-9339 (OF300) ( 121k or 742k )
Similar to 9338. Includes the javelin and the golf ball.
AS14-66-9340 (OF300) ( 171k or 981k )
Ed took this photograph out his LM window at some point after the completion of the second EVA. Note the dark-brown color of the soil disturbed by the crew as they walked. This phenomenon occurs only near the LM where the surface has been lightened by the Descent Engine plume. The MET is at the lower left and, just to the right of the MET, the Gold camera is lying on the surface. A portion of the S-Band antenna can be seen at the extreme right edge of the picture, just beyond one of the thrusters.

Ulli Lotzmann has created an enhanced detail showing the Gold camera and it's cover. Note what appear to be red latches on either side. These may be the red objects Al Bean mentioned during the 1991 review of the EVA-2 close-out at 135:06:48.

AS14-66-9341 (OF300) ( 125k or 867k )
Over Ed's thrusters toward the TV camera and the S-Band antenna.
AS14-66-9342 (OF300) ( 88k or 826k )
Javelin, golf ball, Turtle Rock with Ed's footprints leading back to the LM.
AS14-66-9343 (OF300) ( 91k or 853k )
Similar to 9342, but not quite as good.

 

The remaining frames were taken after the return to lunar orbit.

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.
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

This magazine was used by both Ed Mitchell and Al Shepard during EVA-1, primarily during the ALSEP deployment.

 

AS14-67-9361 (OF300) ( 189k or 1132k )

117:12:00 Al starts a series of photographs documenting the ALSEP deployment with this photo of the mortar package in the foreground, the Central Station beyond it with cables leading to the various experiment packages, the Thumper/Geophone cable anchor, with the cable headed south (up and to the right) from the anchor past the MET. Note that the MET is parked with the handle pointed toward the east. The 16-mm movie camera - also called the Data Acquisition Camera (DAC) or, alternatively, the Sequence Camera - is the black box mounted on the top of the MET.
AS14-67-9362 (OF300) ( 165k or 1027k )
This photo is a close-up of the top of the Passive Seismic Experiment (PSE) and shows the gnomon/handle - resembling a cricket wicket - and the level bubble housing. A thermal skirt surrounds the seismometer.
AS14-67-9363 (OF300) ( 199k or 1100k )
Shows the view across the PSE toward the north face of the Central Station.
AS14-67-9364 (OF300) ( 170k or 1030k )
117:15:10 Close-up shot looking down on the top of the Charged Particle Lunar Environment Experiment (CPLEE). Note the east-pointing arrow with a bubble gauge next to it, and the ribbon cable coming off the top and leading to the Central Station.
AS14-67-9365 (OF300) ( 208k or 1098k )
117:16:43 Cross-Sun "locator" showing the location of the Charged Particle Lunar Environment Experiment (CPLEE), which is in the foreground, relative to the Central Station. The thermal skirt of the Passive Seismic Experiment (PSE) is at the right edge of the picture, and the MET is in the upper left corner.
AS14-67-9366 (OF300) ( 150k or 978k )
117:17:41 Down-Sun picture of the RTG with the Central Station in the background. The fins on the RTG provide radiative cooling. Note the relatively large amount of dust that has been kicked on to the RTG. The smaller object in the background is the LRRR. The mortar pack is at the right edge.
AS14-67-9367 (OF300) ( 146k or 1039k )
117:19:37 This up-Sun photo was taken from near the ALSEP Central Station back toward the LM in order to provide relative location information. As with the astronauts' bootprints, the track made by the MET tires are compact, smooth, and, as can be seen so dramatically in this picture, more highly reflective than the rough undisturbed surface.
AS14-67-9368 (OF300) ( 137k or 995k )
Similar to 9367.
AS14-67-9369 (OF300) ( 221k or 1204k )
117:20:27 This photo shows the Cold Cathode Ion Gauge (CCIG) and the Suprathermal Ion Detection Experiment (SIDE). The SIDE is the large box while the CCIG is the smaller instrument next to it. There is a great deal of dirt on the north face of the SIDE. Because this face receives little direct sunlight, the dirt will have little effect on the internal temperature of the instrument. Dirt on the east or west faces and on the top would increase the amount of sunlight that the instrument would absorb during the course of a lunar day and, therefore, would lead to a higher than optimal internal temperature.
AS14-67-9370 (OF300) ( 169k or 920k )
117:20:27 Similar to 9369. Note that Ed managed to get the CCIG to sit on the surface in the desired orientation, despite the set in the cable connecting it to the SIDE. On Apollo 12, the stiffness of this cable flipped the CCIG on its side and kept Pete Conrad and Al Bean from deploying it in the desired orientation.
AS14-67-9371 (OF300) ( 167k or 897k )
117:21:31 Close-up of the Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment (SIDE). This is one of the few ALSEP documentation photos taken during all of Apollo that shows a level bubble with any clarity. It is a large bubble, being about half the diameter of the dome that contains it. Note that there is some dirt on the top of the SIDE, although not covering a large percentage of the surface.
AS14-67-9372 (OF300) ( 199k or 1166k )
117:21:37 Al took this "locator" photo of the SIDE/CCIG toward the Central Station, which is northwest of the instruments. The Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment (SIDE) is at bottom center and the Cold Cathode Ion Gauge (CCIG) is at bottom right. Nearer the Central Station, from left to right are the MET, the geophone anchor (the stack tilted to the right), the Central Station, the mortar package, the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG), the Passive Seismic Experiment (PSE), and the Charged-Particle Lunar Environment Experiment (CPLEE). Note the inbound MET track coming into the picture at the right.
AS14-67-9373 (OF300) ( 284k or 1561k )
117:21:37 View of the SIDE/CCIG from the south. This photograph shows that there has been a substantial design change in the SIDE configuration since Apollo 12.

On that flight, the cable connecting the two instruments was stiff enough that, when the astronauts tried to manipulate the CCIG into its proper orientation, they tipped the SIDE over. Their SIDE sat on four short, splayed legs (see AS12-47-6922) and, for Apollo 14, the support design included longer legs attached near the top of the north and south faces to give more lateral stability. As Ed indicates to Houston at 116:39:59, the new design didn't work much better than the old one. Yet another design was devised for Apollo 15 - with three legs, two short ones at the bottom along one of the long sides and a long leg attached near the top of the opposite face with the SIDE leaning against that long leg. That design worked quite well.

AS14-67-9374 (OF300) ( 216k or 1485k )
117:24:33 Al took this shot from near the MET, looking southeast along the geophone line toward Ed, who is working his way back, stopping every 15 feet to operate the thumper. Ken Glover calls attention to the numerous imprints made by the geophone cable while Ed was deploying it. A detail is superimposed on a portion of Al's 8 o'clock pan shows 9374 the pointing direction relative to prominent features on the southern horizon.
AS14-67-9375 (OF300) ( 223k or 1420k )
117:24:33 View toward the north of the RTG and the CPLEE. The Central Station is at the left edge of the picture.
AS14-67-9376 (OF300) ( 190k or 1233k )
117:24:33 Geophone/thumper anchor flag, mortar pack, Central Station, CPLEE, and assorted packing material.
AS14-67-9377 (OF300) ( 207k or 1389k )
The geophone cable runs from the center of the image to the lower right corner. The geophone anchor is to the left of the Central Station.
AS14-67-9378 (OF300) ( 168k or 934k )
117:24:55 Close up of the Central Station, with the mortar pack to the right.
AS14-67-9379 (OF300) ( 169k or 924k )
117:25:32 View to the southwest showing the back of the Central Station and its top surface, with good definition of the astronaut switches at the bottom.
AS14-67-9380 (OF300) ( 208k or 1165k )
This photo shows the north face of the ALSEP Central Station. Mounting hardware for the various experiment packages are on the top surface and the various electrical connection are at the back, along the bottom edge.
AS14-67-9381 (OF300) ( 199k or 1151k )
Close-up of the north face of the Central Station.
AS14-67-9382 (OF300) ( 87k or 637k )
117:27:53 Up-Sun of the Central Station, spoiled by glare.
AS14-67-9383 (OF300) ( 192k or 1114k )
117:28:47 View of the south face of the Central Station with assorted packing material on the ground.
AS14-67-9384 (OF300) ( 190k or 1236k )
117:25:32 View to the northeast of the Central Station and, at the left, the Passive Seismometer experiment. The blue streak at the upper left is undoubtedly a film defect. The Cone ridge is in the distance.
AS14-67-9385 (OF300) ( 152k or 917k )
Close-up of the LRRR. As of February 2005, the retroreflectors were still being used in conjunction with a dedicated facility at the MacDondald Observatory in Texas.
AS14-67-9386 (OF300) ( 207k or 1276k )
Close-up of the LRRR.
AS14-67-9387 (OF300) ( 0.1 Mb or 0.6 Mb )
117:31:47 Up-Sun of the LRRR, showing Ed at the MET and the LM in the background, just to the right of Ed. Journal Contributor Rob Sabel has created an enhanced version (0.7 Mb)
AS14-67-9388 (OF300) ( 178k or 1090k )
117:42:26 Al's up-Sun "locator" to the LM across the circle he has drawn to define his sampling area. There are a few walnut-sized rocks sticking out the regolith. Note the outbound MET tracks on the right.
AS14-67-9389 (OF300) ( 81k or 726k )
117:42:37 Al's down-Sun "locator" to the ALSEP site for the comprehensive sample collected on the way back to the LM after the ALSEP deployment. Ed is coming to join Al and is carrying the extension handle. The SIDE/CCIG are to the left of him. In the right foreground, note the smooth print left by the MET and the deep toe-impression made by Al's boot.
AS14-67-9390 (OF300) ( 265k or 1319k )
117:50:12 Cross-Sun to the south of Al's football-sized rocks. The larger of the two rocks that Al collected at this site is probably the one in the middle of the image. Apparently, Al did not take any photos after picking up the rocks, photos which would have helped with the identification of the rocks in these pre-sampling pictures. Note the MET handle and front support legs.
AS14-67-9391 (OF300) ( 255k or 1269k )
Al has stepped to his left to get a stereo companion to 9390.
AS14-67-9392 (OF300) ( 305k or 1519k )
This picture is taken to the north of the same area shown in 9390 and 9391.
AS14-67-9393 (OF300) ( 324k or 1683k )
Similar to 9392.

AS14-68-9393a (OF300) ( 90k or 841k )

131:59:28 "Locator" for the Lunar Portable Magnetometer [LPM] taken by Ed Mitchell from near the Station A pan location. This frame is listed in National Space Science and Data Center document NSSDC 71-16b, "Part II, Apollo 14 Photography; 70-mm, 35-mm, 16-mm, and 5-in. Frame Index; August 1971", as an unnumbered half frame. It is incorrectly described as showing the TV camera near the LM. A laterally-cropped - and properly described - version was used as Figure 13-3b [ 530k ] in the Apollo 14 Preliminary Science Report. Early in 2006, after I first became aware that this image existed, Stephen Tellier, LPI provided a scan [983k ] from a duplicate film roll and wrote, "This proved to be a tough scan but I think I finally got something you can use. The file is a bit large because I included a portion of first numbered image [9394] and the film leader immediately in front of the frame in question so you can decide where the top and bottom of the image are (or should be) and how you want to crop it."
AS14-68-9394 (OF300) ( 95k or 892k )
132:16:29 Down-Sun. Ed has started a pan at Station A.
AS14-68-9395 (OF300) ( 94k or 887k )
Down-Sun.
AS14-68-9396 (OF300) ( 92k or 921k )
Rightward of 9395, showing a large boulder.
AS14-68-9397 (OF300) ( 92k or 817k )
Rightward of 9396. Note the flat-topped rock on the right edge.
AS14-68-9398 (OF300) ( 116k or 953k )
132:16:29 This frame from Ed's Station A pan gives an impression of the undulation of the local terrain.
AS14-68-9399 (OF300) ( 113k or 975k )
Rightward of 9398, showing the undulation of the local terrain.
AS14-68-9400 (OF300) ( 145k or 1249k )
Rightward of 9399. Note the small crater inside the larger one on the right side.
AS14-68-9401 (OF300) ( 232k or 1948k )
Rightward of 9400, with the two craters noted previously at the left. This photo gives a good view of the Cone Crater ridge.
AS14-68-9402 (OF300) ( 170k or 1670k )
Rightward of 9401. Up-Sun showing the ridge line under the Sun glare. There are only a few rock fragments in the immediate area of Station A.
AS14-68-9403 (OF300) ( 196k or 1760k )
Rightward of 9402. Note the high reflectivity of the up-Sun footprints.
AS14-68-9404 (OF300) ( 178k or 1476k )
132:16:44 Good picture of Al, who is carrying the core tube back to the MET. He has the upper end of the core tube in his left hand and the bit end resting on the hammer, which is in his right hand. Old Nameless is in the distance beyond Al. On the MET, we can see the 16-mm sequence camera, the trenching tool, weighbags hanging down on either side, and the Gold camera mounted on the front. The blade on the trenching tool is much broader than the ones flown on later missions.
AS14-68-9405 (OF300) ( 139k or 991k )
132:16:44 Superb picture of Al with the core tube and extension handle. Part of Ed's Station A pan. Note that Al is holding the hammer in his right hand. He has a pair of tongs tethered to his waist at the left side, with the handle on the outside of his left hip. See, also, a labeled detail.
AS14-68-9406 (OF300) ( 139k or 992k )
132:16:44 Rightward of 9405, showing the MET tracks inbound to Station A. Al was pulling the MET at that point in the traverse and we can see that, as a result of the loping stride that he favored, his toe prints are more deeply impressed into the surface than his heel prints and that his left and right bootprints are similar.
AS14-68-9407 (OF300) ( 128k or 972k )
132:16:44 Rightward of 9406, showing the MET tracks, Al's footprints and, alongside those to our right, Ed's footprints. Ed tends to use a skip and we can see in his footprints that his right foot lands flat and then makes only a slight toe impression as he pushes off. His left footprints show a smaller, much deeper, toe-only landing. Note that Al's left and right footprints are similar, although there are places where his right footprints seem deeper, but this may be a result of variations in bearing strength of the surface.
Mini-pan 9407/8 ( 1.8 Mb )
I combined portions of the two images to show the MET tracks and bootprint trails coming out from the LM. I shrank 9408 by about 10 percent to match the apparent vertical distance between the horizon and the MET tracks at the point where I joined the two images.
AS14-68-9408 (OF300) ( 108k or 952k )
132:16:44 Final frame in Ed's Station A pan, showing the LM. This picture gives a good impression of the circuitous path they've followed in order to go around craters and contains further examples of the differing bootprint patterns made by Al, on the left, pulling the MET and using a loping stride, and Ed, who was on the right, using a skipping stride.
AS14-68-9409 (OF300) ( 166k or 1230k )
132:21:23 Ed is collecting a documented sample at Station A and takes this down-Sun locator to the LM. It shows the MET at the upper left and, in the foreground, the gnomon with a color/gray scale chart used to calibrate the photoprocessing. The prominent rock on the righthand side can be seen on the right hand side of the unnumbered LPM "locator". The rock near the northwest leg of the gnomon is the sample.
AS14-68-9410 (OF300) ( 224k or 1541k )
Ed has moved around to the southeast of the gnomon.
AS14-68-9411 (OF300) ( 220k or 1586k )
Ed has stepped to his right to take a stereo companion to 9410.
AS14-68-9412 (OF300) ( 171k or 1327k )
Post-sample photo companion to 9411. A comparison of the two photos leaves no doubt as to which rock it was that Ed sampled.
AS14-68-9413 (OF300) ( 85k or 840k )
Post-sample over the gnomon toward the LM. Ed either forgot to change the focus setting or he moved while he was taking the picture.
AS14-68-9414 (OF300) ( 218k or 1406k )
132:56:45 Close-up of the boulder at Station B2. In the Apollo 14 Preliminary Science Report, this boulder is referred to as Big Rock. The upper surface is unusually flat and may represent a fracture surface. The rock is 0.6 meters high and about 1.5 meters long. We can see Al's camera with CDR (Commander) written on the side, the tongs under his hoses. Note the dirt on his boots and knees. The picture is taken toward the north. They have come up a small rise and, out in the distance beyond the boulder, we can see a large crater.

Ulli Lotzmann calls attention to a detail, which shows that the strap on Al's right boot has come undone. During the technical debrief, he was asked about this picture and replied "I didn't notice it until I saw the picture myself.", to which Ed added "I noticed it something during the EVA....I guess I didn't mention it and he didn't have any trouble with it." Readers should note that the EVA boot is an overshoe and is not an integral part of the pressure suit.

AS14-68-9415 (OF300) ( 86k or 845k )
132:57:52 Down-Sun from Ed's Station B2 pan. The LM is slightly above and to the left of center. This photo shows that they have come quite a ways uphill. Figure 3.1 ( 232k 1330k or ) in the Apollo 14 Mission Report indicates that Station B2 is about 30 meters above the spacecraft.
AS14-68-9416 (OF300) ( 83k or 883k )
Rightward of 9415, showing Ed's shadow and that of Big Rock.
AS14-68-9417 (OF300) ( 110k or 867k )
Rightward of 9416, across the top of Big Rock.
AS14-68-9418 (OF300) ( 165k or 1062k )
Rightward of 9417, showing a portion of Big Rock in the lower left. The local surface is heavily pockmarked with small craters and there are a number of sizable boulders in the area.
AS14-68-9419 (OF300) ( 170k or 1101k )
Rightward of 9418, showing the view toward the NNE with a large boulder at right center.
AS14-68-9420 (OF300) ( 249k or 1837k )
Rightward of 9419, the large boulder noted in 9419 is at left center. The apparent summit of the Cone Crater rim is beyond the boulder.
AS14-68-9421 (OF300) ( 208k or 1862k )
132:57:52 Frame from Ed Mitchell's Station B2 pan showing the view toward the top of Cone Ridge.
AS14-68-9422 (OF300) ( 163k or 1624k )
132:57:52 Frame from Ed Mitchell's Station B2 pan showing the up-Sun view. Al has already grabbed the MET and has resumed the climb.
AS14-68-9423 (OF300) ( 188k or 1710k )
132:57:52 Frame from Ed Mitchell's Station B2 pan giving an up-Sun view of the MET tracks and Al's footprints.
AS14-68-9424 (OF300) ( 206k or 1685k )
Rightward of 9423, with Old Nameless on the right, above center.
AS14-68-9425 (OF300) ( 193k or 1181k )
Rightward of 9424, with Old Nameless above center.
AS14-68-9426 (OF300) ( 167k or 1084k )
Rightward of 9425.
AS14-68-9427 (OF300) ( 154k or 1095k )
Rightward of 9426.
AS14-68-9428 (OF300) ( 102k or 877k )
Rightward of 9427, footprints.
AS14-68-9429 (OF300) ( 80k or 837k )
132:57:52 Rightward of 9428, with the LM at right center.
AS14-68-9430 (OF300) ( 76k or 775k )
133:14:30 Ed takes a pan at Station B3, starting with this down-Sun. The LM is over the right edge of the boulder at the left side of the picture.
AS14-68-9431 (OF300) ( 107k or 901k )
Rightward of 9430.
AS14-68-9432 (OF300) ( 131k or 924k )
Rightward of 9431, centered on a large boulder. To the right of the boulder, there appears to be a soil mound similar to the ones sampled by the Apollo 12 crew near their ALSEP site.
AS14-68-9433 (OF300) ( 160k or 960k )
Rightward of 9432, with a rubble covered boulder at the center.
AS14-68-9434 (OF300) ( 160k or 1021k )
Rightward of 9433, showing a considerable number of boulders in the direction of the apparent Cone summit.
AS14-68-9435 (OF300) ( 180k or 1353k )
Rightward of 9434.
AS14-68-9436 (OF300) ( 105k or 1210k )
Rightward of 9435, up-Sun showing very large numbers of rocks and boulders on the apparent horizon.
AS14-68-9437 (OF300) ( 120k or 1235k )
Rightward of 9436, up-Sun.
AS14-68-9438 (OF300) ( 135k or 1277k )
Rightward of 9437, showing Al's left arm and left leg.
AS14-68-9439 (OF300) ( 160k or 1366k )
Rightward of 9438, Al has moved across Ed's field-of-view. We can see the aft end of the MET with the rubber tires, weighbags and the "Dixie Cup" sample bags.
AS14-68-9440 (OF300) ( 136k or 959k )
Rightward of 9439, centered on Old Nameless.
AS14-68-9441 (OF300) ( 104k or 834k )
Rightward of 9440, centered on the cratered ridge to the right of Old Nameless. A comparison of the relative positions of this and other features provide a means of calculating just where the astronauts have stopped during the traverse. In the document Geology of the Apollo 14 Landing Site in the Fra Mauro Highlands, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 880, by Gordon Swann and others, Figure 5, which is Lunar Orbiter IV frame 120H3, shows the Fra Mauro/Parry area with the landing site marked 30 kilometers NNE of crater Fra Mauro D. Figure 4 is AS12-52-7597, a photo taken from the Apollo 12 Command Module, with Old Nameless marked on it. And figure 7, which is Lunar Orbiter III frame 133M has Cone Crater, Old Nameless and the landing spot marked. On the scale of these photographs, the hills and ridges near Old Nameless and the feature to the west are not prominent.
AS14-68-9442 (OF300) ( 97k or 957k )
133:14:34 Rightward of 9441. Final frame from Ed's Station B3 pan, showing the view along the MET tracks. The LM is at the right-hand side. The fact that the MET tracks are coming up from the left indicates how much wandering they have been doing. They are currently angling toward the north although, as we know, not enough.
AS14-68-9443 (OF300) ( 236k or 1405k )
133:25:38 Cross-Sun stereo "before" from the south of the gnomon at Station C-Prime. Once he finishes with the "before" photos, Ed will collect the small rock which is just north of the up-Sun gnomon leg.
AS14-68-9444 (OF300) ( 241k or 1426k )
Ed steps to his right to take this stereo companion to 9443. As we now know, the rim of Cone Crater is beyond the boulders on the near horizon.
AS14-68-9445 (OF300) ( 184k or 1418k )
133:25:38 Down-Sun of the first sampling location at Station C-Prime. The white boulder at Station C1, known as Saddle Rock, is on the local horizon, above and to the right of the split boulder beyond the gnomon.
AS14-68-9446 (OF300) ( 245k or 1493k )
133:28:24 Post-sampling shot of Ed's documented sample at Station C-Prime.
AS14-68-9447 (OF300) ( 116k or 1009k )
Ed has stepped around to the northeast to take another "after" of his documented sample area. Note the long-linear rock which is north of the gnomon in both the "befores" and "afters".
AS14-68-9448 (OF300) ( 148k or 1160k )
133:40:48 Close-up of a white boulder at Station C1. The LM is just above the righthand corner of the boulder, as indicated in a detail. The large white boulder that was visible from Station C-Prime is out of the field-of-view to the right. Note the well-defined contact between the white rock on the bottom and a more normal gray rock on the top. Note, also, that we are looking at two boulders, with only the top and right edge of the background boulder visible beyond the foreground boulder. The background boulder also appears to have a contact between white and gray materials, with the lower right toe of the background boulder being white. In the Apollo 14 Preliminary Science Report, the foreground boulder is referred to as Contact Rock.
AS14-68-9449 (OF300) ( 119k or 998k )
Ed has turned to his right to photograph the cluster of large blocks that were visible from Station C-Prime. Note the contact in the large, upright boulder on the left. The boulder to its right is composed mostly of the white material.
AS14-68-9450 (OF300) ( 135k or 1102k )
Ed has turned further to his right to take this portrait of the boulder known as Saddle Rock. Note the extensive skirt (fillet) of dirt that has built up at the base of the rock. There is even dirt that has been thrown up onto the sides of Saddle Rock, presumably from an impact somewhere in the area. Keith Cowing of the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project has put Saddle Rock in the context ( 2.2Mb ) of restored Lunar Orbiter frame 133-H2.
AS14-68-9451 (OF300) ( 144k or 1085k )
Ed has stepped back and to his right to take another picture of Saddle Rock.
AS14-68-9452 (OF300) ( 210k or 1434k )
133:40:48 Down-Sun of the southern face of Saddle Rock. Notice that he has put his hammer and one of the "Dixie-Cup" sample bags on the smaller white boulder in the foreground. In the Apollo 14 Preliminary Science Report, this boulder is referred to as White Rock. The tall boulder above and beyond the hammer is the same one shown in 9449.
AS14-68-9453 (OF300) ( 157k or 1311k )
133:42:31 Ed has chipped a sample off White Rock and then took this "after". The chip was taken off the rock just below and to the right of the end of the shadow of the hammer handle.
AS14-68-9454 (OF300) ( 223k or 1432k )
134:17:16 Ed has pushed a triple core by hand partway into the ground at Station G. The bottom section is about halfway in. Note that Ed has the extension handle attached to the top of the core-tube stack. Note, also, the MET tracks and the circle of footprints that Ed made around the core. Ed will have to abandon this attempt to get a triple core when he runs into a buried rock.
AS14-68-9455 (OF300) ( 268k or 1730k )
134:26:27 While Ed worked on the triple core, Al was digging a trench and, in the end, needed the extension handle to get it to full depth. In this photo, we can see that the extension handle has been removed prior to Ed's second attempt at getting the triple. Because of the length of the triple core, Ed can hammer the first section or two into the ground without the extension handle. He will need it, however, to finish the job and, in fact, gets it back from Al at about 134:27:48.
AS14-68-9456 (OF300) ( 139k or 998k )
134:27:00 Ed raised the camera to show the horizon in a "locator".
AS14-68-9457 (OF300) ( 156k or 1213k )
134:31:46 Note that Ed has the extension handle to complete the core. This photo is blurred.
AS14-68-9458 (OF300) ( 206k or 1343k )
Similar to 9457.
AS14-68-9459 (OF300) ( 155k or 1270k )
134:42:21 Down-Sun of the Station G documented sample.
AS14-68-9460 (OF300) ( 236k or 1546k )
Cross-Sun from the north of the documented sample site at Station G.
AS14-68-9461 (OF300) ( 273k or 1738k )
Ed has stepped left to take this stereo companion to 9460. He will collect the long-rectangular rock.
AS14-68-9462 (OF300) ( 243k or 1589k )
Post-sample photo of the Station G documented sample.
AS14-68-9463 (OF300) ( 242k or 1556k )
Ed has stepped left to take this stereo companion to 9462.
AS14-68-9464 (OF300) ( 151k or 1128k )
Ed has probably raised the camera to get a horizon "locator" at the Station G documented sample site.
AS14-68-9465 (OF300) ( 267k or 1725k )
134:49:38 Cross-sun "before" from the south of the documented sample site at Station G2. This is one of the few instances of the Apollo 14 crew doing documented sampling as a team. While Ed takes the cross-Sun's, Al is taking a down-Sun "locator" to the LM.
AS14-68-9466 (OF300) ( 245k or 1608k )
Ed has stepped to the right to take this stereo companion to 9465. The sample is northwest of the northern gnomon leg.
AS14-68-9467 (OF300) ( 248k or 1595k )
134:51:17 Post-sample photo of the Station G2 documented sample site.
AS14-68-9468 (OF300) ( 246k or 1625k )
134:56:35 Ed is taking a series of photographs in the boulder field at Station H, north of the LM. This first photo is a close-up of some small boulders.
AS14-68-9469 (OF300) ( 236k or 1582k )
134:56:35 Cross-Sun to the north of a group of Station H boulders. Turtle Rock is at the upper left.
AS14-68-9470 (OF300) ( 279k or 1759k )
Rightward from 9469.
AS14-68-9471 (OF300) ( 152k or 1071k )
Turtle Rock is the large boulder at left center.
AS14-68-9472 (OF300) ( 144k or 1146k )
134:56:35 Ed has moved over close to Turtle Rock to take a series of photos of this largest boulder in the group.
AS14-68-9473 (OF300) ( 152k or 1238k )
Ed has stepped to his right to continue his portrait of Turtle Rock.
AS14-68-9473/4 Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 14Mb or 348k )
Red-blue anaglyph by Kevin Frank.
AS14-68-9474 (OF300) ( 199k or 1416k )
Ed has changed his focus setting.
AS14-68-9475 (OF300) ( 173k or 1336k )
Ed has stepped to his left to repeat 9472 at a more appropriate focus setting. This is an excellent picture of Turtle Rock.
AS14-68-9476 (OF300) ( 146k or 1122k )
134:56:35 Ed has stepped to his left again to complete his portrait of Turtle Rock. This is probably the best picture of the series. The boulder gets its name from the turtle-like pieces of rock sitting on the top of the main boulder. Ed was so busy at this point that he never noticed the turtle. Note the large white inclusion in the right-hand third of the boulder about half way up from the bottom. Note, also, the skirt of soil - called a fillet - built up out of ejecta from nearby impacts splashing against the sides of the rock.
AS14-68-9477 (OF300) ( 78k or 861k )
135:01:30 Ed has started a pan at Station H, beginning with this down-Sun toward the ALSEP.
AS14-68-9478 (OF300) ( 99k or 1014k )
Rightward of 9477, showing the turtle.
AS14-68-9479 (OF300) ( 116k or 1008k )
135:01:30 Rightward of 9478. Frame from Ed's Station H pan centered on Turtle Rock.
AS14-68-9480 (OF300) ( 136k or 1017k )
Rightward of 9479, showing a number of large boulders on the local horizon.
AS14-68-9481 (OF300) ( 153k or 1009k )
Rightward of 9480.
AS14-68-9482 (OF300) ( 149k or 1278k )
Rightward of 9481.
AS14-68-9483 (OF300) ( 134k or 1328k )
Rightward of 9482, showing some boulders on the slope of the Cone Crater ridge.
AS14-68-9484 (OF300) ( 119k or 1323k )
Rightward of 9483, up-Sun.
AS14-68-9485 (OF300) ( 103k or 1227k )
Rightward of 9484.
AS14-68-9486 (OF300) ( 154k or 1365k )
135:01:56 Photo toward the LM from Station H. We are looking ESE. Al is to the left of the spacecraft with his back to us looking in the general direction of the LM and, beyond it, Old Nameless. As per request from Houston, he is aiming the TV camera at the MESA. The MET tracks made when they started the traverse up to Cone can be seen beyond Al and the tracks Ed made on his way to Station H are in the foreground. Compare with Lennie Waugh's labeled version of AS14-66-9337, which Ed took out his window after the EVA, showing, also, the tracks he made on the way back to the LM.
AS14-68-9486/7 Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 9Mb or 290k )
Red-blue anaglyph by Kevin Frank.
AS14-68-9487 (OF300) ( 168k or 1000k )
135:01:56 Frame from Ed's Station H pan. Rightward of 9486 but very similar.
AS14-68-9488 (OF300) ( 148k or 756k )
Rightward of 9487, with the LM out of the field-of-view to the left. The Solar Wind Collector can be seen still in place.
AS14-68-9489 (OF300) ( 118k or 961k )
Rightward of 9488, given an impression of the undulations of the local terrain and of the bowl rim rising up and forming the local horizon to the southwest.
AS14-68-9490 (OF300) ( 90k or 876k )
Rightward of 9489.
AS14-68-9491 (OF300) ( 108k or 1220k )
135:03:11 Rightward of 9488, with the ALSEP at the right edge. This is the last frame in Ed's Station H pan.
AS14-68-9492 (OF300) ( 31k or 322k )
This picture shows the transmission element in the S-Band.

Magazine 80/W (B & W) Frames 10436-10642

This magazine was used in the Hycon Lunar Topographic Camera for stereo strip photography along the CSM ground track. HLTC cameras were flown on Apollo 13 and 14 and were designed to be mounted in the crew access hatch window. Details can be found on pages 5-6 in Part I of the Apollo 14 Photo Index. As discussed on page 117 in Part II of the Apollo 14 Photo Index, planned coverage was to be taken on Rev 4 from 30 E to 9.5 E along the approach to the Apollo 16 landing site. Good data was obtained from 28.1 E to 17.4 E, but a camera malfunction prevented further coverage.

The only online source for Mag 80 images is currently the Arizona State Universtity website. This is evidently a copy of a NASA document. The quality is poor.
