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 17 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.

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Images
[Journal Contributor James Fincannon has used sunrise-to-sunset sequences of LROC images of the site to demonstrate that, as of 2009-2011, the Apollo 17 flag is still aloft and casting a shadow.
First Look - 11 July 2009 11:06:20 UTC ( 1.1 Mb )
This image was taken with the Sun at an elevation of 9.6 degrees and an azimuth of 266.8 degrees. Resolution in the raw file is 1.4 m/pixel. Crater names from Figure 5.3 ( 0.7 Mb ) in the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report and Sheet SE ( 0.2 Mb ) of the EVA-1 traverse planning map. A link to the raw file, nasr00000d11 , is available at the LROC website.
First Look - Stereo View, Lee-Lincoln Scarp on the North Massif ( 0.8 Mb )
Combines LROC images nacl00000adc and nacl00000d11. Vertical exaggeration in the anaglyph is 2-3 times. Hanover Crater is on the lower slopes of the North Massif just east of the Scarp. A detail ( 1.5 Mb ) shows the portion of the Scarp where valley floor meets the foot of the North Massif. Stereo Image released 21 July 2009. NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University.
First Look - North Massif Boulder Source Regions ( 0.5 Mb )
Labeled detail from LROC image nacl00000d11 showing the source regions for the Dark Boulder and the Station 6 Split Boulder. Other boulders identified in Jack Schmitt's 500-mm portrait of the Split Boulder source region have the same labelling here.
First Look - LRV Shadow Identified ( 0.3Mb)
Photo AS17-143-21932, which Gene took toward the LM from behind the LRV at the VIP (final parking) site shows that the LM is on the same bearing as a spur on the left side of (Old) Family Mountain. The post-flight, topophotomap (6 Mb) can be used to transfer that bearing line to a detail from LRO image nacl00000d11. A thin shadow, undoubtedly cast by the LRV, is located 128 meters from the LM on an azimuth of 112 degrees (east of north).
Second Look - LM/ALSEP - 01 October 2009 10:32:01 UTC ( 1 Mb )
This image was taken from 50 km altitude with the Sun at an elevation of 68.3 degrees and an azimuth of 183.1 degrees. Resolution in the raw file is 0.53 m/pixel. The raw image is M109032389L. Labeled details are available at the LROC website.
Second Look - EVA-1 Traverse ( 3 Mb )

Second Look - Turning Point Rock, Dark Boulder, Station 6, Station 7 ( 2 Mb )

Among the tracks left by the astronauts at Station 6 ( 0.24 Mb ), the most prominent may be the loop Gene started when he was just east of the boulders and moved upslope to take what proved to be a dramatic pan. At Station 7, they parked about 25 meters ENE of the Station 7 boulder. They spent much of their time working at the east face of the boulder. Just before they left, Gene moved upslope of the LRV to take a pan.
Second Look - North Massif Boulder Source Regions ( 4 Mb )
Labeled detail from LROC image M109032389LE showing the source regions for the Dark Boulder and the Station 6 Split Boulder. Other boulders identified in Jack Schmitt's 500-mm portrait of the Split Boulder source region have the same labelling here.
Second Look - EVA-1 Traverse, Station 1, EP-7 location, rock noted in 20733 ( 0.4 Mb )
Before starting the traverse to Station 1, Gene initialized the Rover nav system at the SEP transmitter. The range and bearing at Station 1 were 1.11/346. At the location where they deployed EP-7, the range and bearing were 0.6/339. A large boulder seen in frame AS17-136-20733 from Jack's Station 1 pan is also identified.
21 May 2010 13:00:53 UTC; Solar El/Az 35.3/103.7; LRO altitude 42.5 km; resolution 0.43 m/pixel (width), 0.55 m/pixel (height) ( 2.0 Mb TIFF )
The image linked immediately above shows almost all the the LROC image, but at low resolution. The raw image is M129086118L. A re-scaled, low-res version (1.6 Mb TIFF) has the number of horizontal pixels reduced by a factor of 0.43/0.55. See, also, a labeled version.

A high-res, re-scaled detail (2.6 Mb TIFF) shows the LM, the ALSEP site, the SEP transmitter and the Rover tracks Gene made to guide deployment of the SEP antenna, and the LRV parked at the VIP site. See, also, a labeled version.

A high-res, re-scaled detail (6.9 Mb TIFF) shows Turning Point Rock, Station 6 Split Boulder, and Station 7. An enhanced, labeled version (1.2 Mb) shows tracks Gene and Jack made while working on the east side of the Station 6 boulder. there are hints of tracks on the east side, but they aren't as prominent. Patrick Vanuyne has created a mosaic of images devoted to Turning Point Rock and the Station 6 boulder, including anaglyphs made from the 21 May 2010 LROC image and M113751661L, which was taken on 25 November 2009.

A high-res, re-scaled detail (0.2 Mb) shows Van Serg Crater while an inset from the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report shows the approximate where Gene parked the Rover and where he and Jack sampled and took pans. There are no signs of the tracks they made. These may show up at high solar elevations.

Landing Site Maps/Images

Red-Blue Anaglyph from LROC images ((0.5 MB)

Anaglyph by Patrick Vantuyne.
Apollo 17 - The End of an Era
Grumman pre-mission artwork. This vision of the landing site has several problems. In the distance, the mountains on the left side are clearly those of the Apollo 15 site, including such recognizable features as St. George Crater and Silver Spur. The astronaut near the top of the ladder would probably not be climbing up as casually as shown, with only one hand on the porch railing and his body turned. The ALSEP deployment area is depicted as being SSW of the LM rather than being directly west. And, finally, the LM is shown on the edge of a steep decline: graphically spectacular but not a position Gene or the targeting people would have chosen. Scans by J.L. Pickering.
Taurus-Littrow Anaglyph, Apollo 15 Mapping (Metric) Camera Frames 0971 and 0972, Rev 33 ( 0.7 Mb )
Vertical view of the landing site from frames AS15-M-0971 and AS15-M-0972. Anaglyph by Yuri Krasilnikov.
The Valley of Taurus-Littrow
The image linked here is a portion of Pan Camera frame AS17-2309 showing the South Massif at the upper right and the Sculptured Hills at the lower left. The North Massif is at the bottom right and Henry Crater is the rightmost of the three large craters in a triangular pattern at the foot of the mountain. This orientation is to facilitate comparison with features in the Station 6 high resolution images below. See also the labeled version of this frame. The distance from Station 6 above Henry to the LM is 3.5 km; to Bear Mountain, about 8 km; and to the outcrop noted in 21498 below, about 18 km. Scans by Ron Wells.

Apollo 17 Pan Camera frame AS17-2309 Details
The frame was taken on December 11, 1972 at 23:47:38.1 GMT during CSM Rev 15 from an altitude of 113.07 km. In terms of the mission time, the photo was taken at 116:54:38 -- just seven minutes before Gene and Jack started their watches for the first EVA. John Pfannerstill has scanned three portions of the frame.

In the central area around the LM, the largest crater is Camelot at the upper left. A labeled version highlights the LM and Poppie. In the area north of the LM, covering the EVA-3 traverse, Henry is the large crater at the foot of the North Massif just above and to the right of the center of the image. In the area west of the LM, covering the EVA-2 traverse, Nansen is at the lower left, Camelot is at the right edge above center, and Shorty is the sharp-rimmed, dark-edged crater at top center, about a Camelot diameter below the top edge of the image. Brian McInall has created a composite from the three details. See, also, a version (0.8 Mb or 0.2 Mb)with the lines-of-sight from Station 6 to Stations 2, 3, and 4 indicated.

Northern Portion of the Scarp in AS17-2309 (5.0 Mb)
This detail includes Stations 3, Shorty, Victory, Camelot, and, in the north, Hanover Crater and the nearby portion of the scarp. 1600 dpi scan courtesy of Stephen Tellier at the Lunar and Planetary Institute.
Shorty Crater in AS17-2309 (1.6 Mb)
This 1200 dpi scan shows the area immediately around Shorty. A labeled version ( 1.6 Mb ) highlights the Station 4 boulder and the location on the southeast rim from which Gene took his color pan. The 10-m craters labeled 'a' and 'b' are also shown in a labeled detail ( 240k ) from Gene's pan frame AS17-137-21013.
EVA-3 Gatsby-to-Sherlock Traverse Segment in AS17-2309 (1.5 Mb)
This labeled detail shows the area traversed between Gatsby and Sherlock during the EVA-3 return to the LM. Gene and Jack stopped on the east of Gatsby to take photos and continued onward at about 168:51:03 and made a sampling stop just north of Sherlock at about 168:59:46. Using the traverse path plotted in Figure 7E (0.8 Mb ) in the USGS Professional Paper, I have indicated the locations of these two stops. I have also indicated a likely candidate for the large piece of subfloor gabbro that Jack asked Gene to drive towards starting at about 168:56:53. The last photo of the boulder Jack took before they drove past at about 168:57:04 is AS17-143-21882.

Initial Ascent Map ( 273k )
LM ground track for the first five minutes of the ascent. Scan by Robin Wheeler from Mapping of the Moon by Z.Kopal and R.W. Carder (1974).
Apollo 17 16-mm frame taken during Ascent ( 308k )
This frame was taken just after lift-off with the 16-mm camera mounted in Jack Schmitt's LM window. It is also Figure 4-53 ( 1271k ) in the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report where the caption reads, in part "the irregular dark lines between the LM and the ALSEP instruments are LRV tracks." In fact, the leftmost track was made by Jack Schmitt as he carried the ALSEP packages out to the eventual ALSEP site. Scan and labels by Brian McInall.

Taurus Littrow ( 125k )
This map of the landing site shows the location of major features and, also, the impact point of the Ascent Stage on the South Massif.
Taurus-Littrow - 22 September 2005 ( 262k )
This telescopic view of Taurus-Littrow was taken by Ulrich Lotzmann at about 0100 UTC 22 September 2005 from Marburg, Germany. At the landing site, the sun was about 15 degrees above the western horizon at an azimuth of about 266.
Taurus-Littrow - 12 October 2006 ( 184k )
This telescopic view of Taurus-Littrow was taken by Ulrich Lotzmann at about 0000 UTC 12 October 2006 from Marburg, Germany. At the landing site, the sun was about 25 degrees above the western horizon at an azimuth of about 261 degrees east of north. Bear Mountain is clearly visible in the southcentral part of the valley
Taurus-Littrow - 22 April 2007 ( 224k )
This telescopic view of Taurus-Littrow was taken by Ulrich Lotzmann at about 2150 UTC 22 April 2007 from Marburg, Germany. At the landing site, the sun was about 6.9 degrees at an azimuth of 91.3 degrees. Bear Mountain is clearly visible in the southcentral part of the valley; (Old) Family Mountain is just outside the western entrance to the valley; and (West) Family Mountain (aka the West Massif) is immediately west of the South Massif. Ken Glover has created a labelled gif animation ( 642k ).
Taurus-Littrow - 1 October 2007 ( 52k )
This telescopic view of Taurus-Littrow was taken by Danny Ross Lunsford at about 0815 UTC 1 October 2007 from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. At the landing site, the sun was at an elevation of 1.3 degrees nearly due west of the LM on an azimuth of 268.6. North is at the lower left; a rotated version has the Sun at the top. The pre-EVA-1 window pan taken on Jack's side shows the view to the west at about 2156 UTC on 11 December 1972, about two hours after the landing. The LM shadow is pointing at the West Massif (aka (New) Family Mountain). (Old) Family Mountain is next right. The solar elevation and azimuth are 14.3 degrees and 96.2 degrees, respectively. The local horizon to the west is actually the near rim of Camelot Crater which, from the LM locaation is at an elevation of about 2 - 2.5 degrees. Using a composite of adjacent details from LTO 42C2 and 43D1 and making allowances for the curvature of the Moon, viewed from the LM, the summit of the West Massif is at an elevation of about 4.7 degrees on an azimuth of about 279 degrees and the summit of (Old) Family Mountain is at an elevation of about 3.7 degrees on an azimuth of about 293 degrees. Readers should note that, becuase of the flat film plane in the Hasselblads, degrees/cm varies with distance from the center of an image. For an observer at the LM on 1 October 2007, the Sun was apparently behind the left flank of the West Massif. This seems to be consistent with the deep shaodws on the floor of the Valley of Taurus-Littrow in Lundford's telescopic view.
Pre-flight Grid Map ( 273k )
This map shows the area immediately surrounding the target and shows the local coordinate system used during the mission.

Grid lines on this map are separated by 400 meters; that is, the distance from 79 to 81 in the east-west direction and from DJ to DL in the north-south direction is 400 meters. Only every second one of the major grid divisions is shown on this map. In the north-south direction, there is actually a DK coordinate halfway between DJ and DL and, likewise, an east-west 80 coordinate midway between 79 and 81. These major grid divisions - say DJ and DK - are separated by 200 meters. The planned landing site was DM.8/82.2, which is 0.8 x 200 = 160 meters north of DM and 0.2 x 200 = 40 meters east of the 82 coordinate line. The actual landing site is near DN.2/83.3.

Amundsen/Nansen ( 171k )

This pre-flight map detail shows the area around Nansen Crater near the base of the South Massif. At some point, Jack had named this feature "Amundsen" after the Norwegian explorer of the Antarctic and the Northwest Passage. He then decided that Amundsen has enough things named for him and changed the name to "Nansen" to honor another great Norwegian explorer.
Hole-in-the-Wall from the LM ( 71k )
This Bellcom representation shows a view toward the base of the South Massif from the planned landing site. It was produced by Bell Labs from data derived from photographs taken from the Apollo 15 Command Module. The main feature of interest is the area labeled the "Access Region" where, it was thought, the Rover could be driven up onto the Scarp. By the time Gene and Jack landed, they knew the Access Region as Hole-in-the-Wall.
Hole-in-the-Wall from 1 km ( 66k )
This Bellcom representation shows Hole-in-the-Wall from a point on the planned EVA-2 traverse one kilometer from the base of the Scarp.

Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap - Sulpicius Gallus Quadrangle ( 12 Mb )
Defense Mapping Agency 1: 250,000 sheet scanned at 150 dpi by the Lunar and Planetary Institute. After Ron Evans learned that Jack and Gene had found orange soil at Shorty Crater, he began to look for signs of it from orbit and reported orange in southwestern Serenitatis in the Sulpicius Gallus region. Jack and Gene were able to confirm his observation once they were back in orbit. See the discussions following 145:28:25 and in the chapter covering post-rendezvous activities.

 

Assembled Panoramas

115:03:02 Pre-EVA-1 Window Pans ( 165k )

Dave Byrne has combined the sets taken by Jack and Gene as a composite window pan.

Jack began with a normal horizon sequence and then lowered his aim and took a second sequence showing the near surface. The frames are AS17-147- 22469 to 22478.

Gene then took a series of photos out the CDR window - AS17-147- 22479 to 22491 - showing the South Massif and (West) Family Mountain, the latter being due west of the spacecraft, on the horizon beyond the LM shadow. Geophone Rock is just below the apparent intersection of the north flank of the South Massif and the south flank of Family Mountain.

122:26:14 Traverse to Station 1 ( 16 Mb PDF )
During the traverse, Jack took AS17-136-20723-38 and Gene took AS17-134-20390-93. Because Jack had a seismic charge in his hands, he took relatively few pictures, averaging one every 75 meters during the 1.2 km drive. During the return to the SEP site, he'll average one every 16 meters, not counting 13 frames devoted to an LRV pan of the EP-7 deployment.
122:26:14 Gene's Station 1 Color Pan ( 164k )

Boulder Identification: portions of frames 20771 and 20773 have been combined ( 214k ) to show the view to the south that includes the summit of Bear Mountain and a prominent boulder, labelled '20773 boulder', about 30 degrees west of the summit direction. A comparison between a detail from the Taurus-Littrow Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap ( 264k ) showing Bear Mountain/Steno/Sherlock and a detail from Pan Camera frame 2309 ( 836k ) lets us draw the bearing of Bear Mountain from the Station 1 location given in Figure 6-4c ( 161k ) in the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report. The boulder immediately east of a small crater as marked on the Pan Camera detail has the appropriate bearing and, being the closest sizeable boulder in that direction from Station 1, is a likely candidate. See, also, a similar labelled detail from the July 2009 LROC image of the landing site. Assembled by Eric Jones.

173:19:58 Gene's Side of the LM Cabin ( 35k )
Erik van Meijgaarden has combined AS17-134-20517 and 523 into a post-EVA-3 view of Gene's side of the cabin. On 6 December 2004, Erik wrote, " As I was going through Michael Light's 'Full Moon' recently, I found a striking combination of two photos shown alongside each other that give us a lovely overview of the LM's interior. It took me a while to realise they were not assembled but just shown together. So I set myself to work on an assembly. The photo's are two of the series Jack took after EVA 3 and aren't of particular good quality. I guess a Hasselblad is a difficult instrument in these lighting conditions and after 22 hours of tiring EVAs. Although there are better pics in the series, I selected the best matching pair and created my view of the LM's interior. Altogether a gloomy picture, but I particularly like this one because there are not many images that give a sense of the size and (lack of) space available inside the LM."

72-H-253 ( 1.7 Mb or 0.1 Mb)
Gene Cernan raises his arms during a final suit fit check. Note that the suit is inflated, undoubtedly at 3.8 psi above the pressure in the fitting room. Moving the suit arms away from their rest position against internal pressure is relatively difficult. The suit design includes two cables attached at the center of the chest which then run laterally to the armpits and then into tubes that run up over the shoulders. After extisting the tubes, the cables are secured at the center of the back. Friction between the tubes and the cables help keep the arms in any particular position. The tube on Gene's left shoulder is clearly visible. Note the small pulley wheels at the entrance to the tube on his right shoulder. The wheel on the left shoulder isn't visible in this shot. There are similar pulleys at the tube exits on the back of the shoulders. The wheels prevent contact between the cables and the tube edges at the entrances and exits. Photo filed 6 March 1972. Scan courtesy J.L.Pickering.

In November 2002, Ulli Lotzmann contacted Bill Ayrey, who still worked for ILC, and asked about the picture. Ayrey replied: "Starting from the left, that's John Leshko who was a NASA representative who's office was at ILC. The guy in the middle is John McMullen. The last guy is Steve Rubin who was a suit engineer who participated in a number of fit checks on the A7LB suits near the end of Apollo and into Skylab."

NASA Caption: "FAR OUT COMMUNICATIONS -- Photograph shows the RCA communications systems that will ride on the lunar rover as it travels across the moon's surface during the Apollo 17 mission. the color TV camera works in conjunction with the television control unit to enable NASA controllers in Houston to operate the camera remotely. The Lunar Communications Relay Unit (LCRU) is a portable mini-broadcast station that allows the Astronauts to maintain voice contact with the earth and to transmit telemetry and TV signals from the moon. The high-gain antenna is 38 inches in diameter, uses a mesh design, and can be opened and folded a number of times.

Ballard adds "Within a day or so of this exercise, the final stowage would take place in the CSM with our team guys in the middle of it to assure everything met our requirements - no surprises! Guys like Ray Malone, the CSM Crew Station Engineer and Terry Neal, the LM Crew Station Engineer, Bob Horne and Gene Chase, the Crew Equipment Engineers spent months - traveling coast to coast - to make sure that the hundreds and hundreds of items called crew equipment met the crew requirements. Crew equipment included all things that had crew interface, like food, cameras, film, experiments, clothing, LiOH canisters, emergency items, hygene items, etc, etc, etc. The time our guys spent on these items started with active and somewhat assertive participation in the design reviews and testing of the items, formulating the proper stowage plan for particular missions, briefing/training the crews, writing procedures for flight, for vehicle interface testing, fit checks and final stowage, etc."

The Apollo 17 Saturn V at dusk. 21 November 1972. J.L. Pickering tells us - as indicated in a labelled detail, the presence of tape on the vertical joins between the four panels that make up part of the Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter means that this picture was taken in the lead-up to Countdown Demonstration Test. "It has always been my understanding that is was an added measure to keep dust and other contaminants out of the SLA while on the pad. I use it as an identifier to tell the difference between CDDT and launch day images. These are the only times that the upper portion of the stack is exposed while on the pad after rollout."

KSC-72PC-713 ( 88k or 162k)
The caption for this photo supplied by NASA indicates that this photo was taken on 6 December 1972, a few hours before launch. On that night, the moon was actually a crescent and, if the date is right, the full moon was necessarily added - for artistic effect - by double exposure or some other technique. (I own a lovely print of the Apollo 17 launch purchased at the National Air and Space Museum - which also includes a full moon...but without clouds and, as well, having the Moon in the north!) Journal Contributor Bill Mellberg has convinced me that KSC-72PC-713 was actually taken two weeks previously on the night of a full moon. He writes "This photo was shot from the east looking west. In other words, north is on the right side of the image. Which means the picture would have been taken in the wee hours of the morning. Right now, I am looking at the pre-launch Apollo 17 photo (72-H-1454) that I used on the title page of my book (Moon Missions). It also has a full moon but with the clouds having moved. Thus, I believe the Moon is real in KSC-72PC-713 -- only the date (in the caption supplied by NASA) is wrong. It should be 21 November 1972." Inaccurate dates are regrettably common in various NASA lists. Scan by Kipp Teague

Terry Neal, a member of the Apollo 17 Flight Crew Support Team, who led the effort and contributed the key idea of using the AOT clamps to attach the replacement fender to the Rover, was home catching up on sleep when this photo was taken. Dave Ballard, Flight Crew Support Team, write, "Ron Blevins was a member of the EVA training and procedures group. Ron actually worked for GE (General Electric Corporation), which had a support contract with NASA to supply skilled people to support the various elements of the Apollo program. Each mission had a NASA lead for EVA crew activities (Ballard, himself, for Apollo 17) and he had couple of GE guys assigned to him to help with the job of developing the myriad of procedures and conduct the training for all EVA activities for that particular flight. Ron was one of the GE guys assigned to the Apollo 17 EVA group.". Scan courtesy Mike Gentry, Jody Russell, and Kathy Strawn, NASA Johnson.]

It shows his colleague, Video Tech Nevil Eyre, adjusting the signal being sent to Australia's Overseas Telecommunications Commission terminal in Oxford Street, Paddington (Sydney) for transmission onward. According to Colin Mackellar, editor of the Honeysuckle Creek website, von Renouard and Eyre alternated shifts on the missions after Apollo 11 and took turns taking pictures of each other.

Mission Images by Magazine Number

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. These are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".

AS17-133-20229 (OF300) ( 95k or 926k )
145:26:02 Station 4 pan. Frames 20229 to 20259 are Jack's pan taken at Shorty Crater. It is not certain whether he had started the pan before noticing the orange soil; but the dialog and the internal evidence of the pictures, particularly 20248 which shows Gene stowing the dustbrush long after Jack noticed the orange soil, indicate that Jack first saw the orange at about the time he started the pan. The scoop head is at the upper right. Note that the center of the image is blurred compared with the edges. This is consistent with the possibility that Jack got dust on the lens after taking 20215 during the traverse from Station 3.

Down-sun of the gnomon and orange soil. By the time Jack completed the pan, Jack wasn't thinking about his f-stop setting and, because of his excitement, wasn't holding the camera steady. All of the remaining pictures he took at Shorty - frames 20257 to 20267 - are badly blurred and/or overexposed.. Fortunately, it was Gene's job to do most of the documentation photography and, therefore, we have an excellent set of down-Sun color photographs to provide coverage of the sampling activities. Note that, although he had already seen the orange soil, Jack's pan frames weren't blurred beyond that caused by the dust smudge that appears on all the frames after 20215.

146:36:27 Jack's down-Sun "before" of the first Station 5 sample. Gene's shadow is beyond the gnomon. Note that there doesn't seem to be any blurring at the center of the image as had been noted in frames starting with 20216. There is no indication in the dialog that either Jack or Gene cleaned Jack's camera lens between then and now. However, a comparison between AS17-133-20364, which Jack will take during the drive back to the LM, and AS17-135-20569, which he took in the same general direction at the beginning of the EVA, clearly indicates that Jack's lens was dusty for all of the EVA after he took AS17-133-20215.

AS17-134-20475 (OF300) ( 140k or 816k )
169:39:17 Jack got the camera from Gene and took a number of pictures of Gene at the Rover. Note the bright pattern on the high-gain antenna, which is sunlight reflected off the top of the TV camera.

In a 2005 discussion with Don McMillan, we were able to explain the shadowing on the antenna. In a detail from 20475, the radial ribs are numbered '1r' clockwise around to '12r' and the outer seams of the mesh from '1s' clockwise to '12s'. Looking at the shadow between ribs 3r and 4r, we see the outer edge of the shadow being cast by seam 3s. This segment of the 3s shadow edge is labeled 3sa. The 3s shadow continues onto with mesh between ribs 4r and 5r. The continuation is labeled 3sb and ends when we getto the shadow of rib 2r. Next clockwise, we see the shadow of seam 2s which falls on the panel between 4r and 5r and continues on the pane between 5r and 65 until we get the the shadow of rib 1r. And so on. Finally, note that, if the antenna wasn't made of mesh and was, instead, made of completely opaque material, panels 4s around to 10s would be copletely shadowed. 12s, 1s, and 2s would be completely illuminated while only portions of 11s and 3s would be in direct sunlight. Consider panel 5s, which is between ribs 4r and 5r. No part of this panel is in full sun. The part outside the 3sb and 2sa shadow edges, the side of the mesh facing away from us is in full sun, but only part of that incident light makes it through by reflecting toward the camera by the mesh wires. On the shadowed part of pan 5s, we are seeing light that made it through panel 2s only 5s and then through 5s to the camera.

The gray cross is the tape used to hold together the four maps from which the fender was made. The Traverse Gravimeter is the gray box just inboard of the replacement fender. Gene is sitting in the left-hand seat and, behind his OPS, we can see the Seismic Charge Transporter and, on the back of the gate, a Sample Collection Bag (SCB) and the scoop and the rake. (West) Family Mountain is in the distance above the gravimeter and the South Massif is beyond Gene.

The SEP transmitter is to the right of the Rover and the North Massif is in the background. Note the long track made on the face of the mountain by the large boulder slightly above and to the right of the rake. A detail shows what appears to be a loop of Velcro intended to secure the low-gain antenna lead to the accessory staff. At 164:34:45, early in the EVA-3 traverse, Jack mentions that the lead was loose and that it was getting in the way - possibly of Gene putting LRV sample bags into the SCB hanging from the accessory staff.

Just forward of the seats, we can see the low-gain antenna, the traverse maps clipped to the accessory staff, and, sticking out toward the front of the vehicle, Jack's LRV Sampler. Behind the seats, we can see the dark-appearing seismic charges on the transporter pallet, the SEP receiver antenna, the rake, the scoop and, near Gene's right hand, the Traverse Gravimeter. The warning flag on a seismic charge that they deployed shortly after arriving at the Station is visible behind and to the left of Gene. A detail shows a Velcro strap intended to secure the low-gain lead to the accessary staff.

Erik van Meijgaarden has combined 20758 and 20760 as a portrait of Gene at the Rover.

AS17-136-20761 (OF300) ( 185k or 974k )

This photo provides a good contrast in the appearance of the surface in the up-Sun direction versus the down-Sun direction, for example, in AS17-136-20747. In the down-Sun direction, most shadows are hidden by the objects casting them. In the up-Sun direction, we see all of the shadows and, although the distribution of rocks is probably similar in both directions, the two photos look dramatically different.
AS17-136-20766 (OF300) ( 182k or 1026k )

AS17-136-20783 (OF300) ( 201k or 1022k )
LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. Outbound LRV tracks. Wessex Cleft above the TV camera. A detail shows the view in the general direction of Sherlock Crater, which Gene mentions at 122:38:36. I suspect that Sherlock is hidden by its own rim and that the obvious crater in the middle distance is a nameless foreground feature.
AS17-136-20784 (OF300) ( 211k or 1047k )
LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site.

AS17-136-20797 (OF300) ( 89k or 619k )
122:40:04 LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. I have thought that Jack took this picture at about 122:41:36 when Gene spotted the white mantle off to the west. In October 2005 I realized this photo is more likely to have been taken when Gene saw what he thought was Trident off to the north west. Neither Gene nor Jack commented on the white mantle visible above and to the left of the large boulder just to the left of the TV camera.
AS17-136-20798 (OF300) ( 100k or 661k )

LM pan taken at the start of EVA-2. South Massif. A piece of the yellow packing foam that protected the LRV high-gain antenna during the trip out from Earth can be seen in a detail from the center of the image. Some time after being discarded during LRV outfitting, gas trapped in the foam had heated enough that there was a series of explosive disintegrations. At least one of these occurred while Jack and Gene were away from the LM during the EVA-1 traverse and another when they were back at the LM at the end of that traverse. See the discussion and video following 123:27:46. I haven't been able to identify the object in the foreground. It seems likely to be a discarded piece of LRV deployment hardware or ALSEP off-loading hardware.

The dust-coated- originally-blue Traverse Gravimeter is mounted on the back of the Rover just above the replacement fender. Gene took this photo, in part, to document its condition after the 9.1 kilometer drive out from the LM and, in part, to document his handiwork. At the end of EVA-3 Gene decided to bring the fender back to Earth and, as of the late 1990s, it was still on display at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C. Ron Creel has provided a summary ( 1.3 Mb PDF ) of the fender extension losses that occurred on all three Rover missions.

Magazine 139/K (B&W) 500mm EVA-3 and in lunar orbit, Frames 21185-21350

 

Apollo 17 Mag K frame counter

This photo of flown Apollo 17 magazine 139/K was taken at the National Air and Space Museum by Ulli Lotzmann. The frame counter at the lower left is marked with radial lines every fifth frame and with numerical labels every tenth frame. On the Gross Film Indicator immediately above the Frame Counter, each white dot represents about 1/8th of the loaded film. When the magazine is fresh, the white arrow is immediately clockwise from the red marking. When the white arrow is immediately counterclockwise from the red marking, all of the film has been used.

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.

 

Images taken with 500-mm lens by Jack Schmitt at Stations 6 and 9 during EVA-3. Concludes with images taken after the return to orbit.

AS17-139-21194 (OF300) ( 123k or 1326k )
165:46:26 Station 6. 500-mm lens. Centered on the dark, raised rim of Shorty Crater with the Scarp beyond. The rake is on the back of the Rover. The rake head appears, out-of-focus, at the lower left. The large boulder in the distance, on the flank of the South Massif beyond the center of Shorty is shown in a detail (3.4 Mb tif) from LROC image M104311715L. The trail it left when it tumbled down the mountain can be seen in the LROC image and, less distinctly, in in a detail from 21194. Like the Station 6 boulder, it appears to have come to a stop when it encountered a much shallower slope low on the mountain. This behaviour is particularly evident in 21194. Identity of the boulder was confirmed by using a portion of Apollo 17 Pan Camera frame AS17-P-2309 to establish the line-of-sight from Station 6 through the center of Shorty and, then, a portion of M104311715L to extend the line-of-sight onward to the base of the Spoth Massif.

AS17-139-21203 (OF300) ( 144k or 1283k)
165:48:27 Station 6. 500-mm lens. LM. Contrary to a caption in the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (Figure 4-36), the blocky-rimmed crater to the right of the LM is not Camelot. In frame 21205, the ALSEP Central Station and Geophone Rock can be seen near the right edge. Because the distance from the LM to the ALSEP is known (185 meters), we can easily estimate that the distance between fiducial marks on the images corresponds to 0.02 radians or, at the 3.0 kilometers distance of the LM from Station 6, about 60 meters at the spacecraft. The block field to the right of the spacecraft is separated from it by about 0.03 radians and, therefore, could be Macklin. The crater to the left could be Hess or Powell.
AS17-139-21204 (OF300) ( 155k or 1372k)
Jack Schmitt took this superb picture of the LM from Station 6 with the 500-mm lens. Note the lighter surface around the spacecraft, produced by the sweeping action of the descent plume. Station 6 is about 3.1 kilometer from the LM, which is about 7 meters tall. The two large craters beyond the LM with prominent rim boulder fields are probably Hess (left) and Mackin (right), which are both about 6 km from Station 6 on higher ground than the landing site. Each of the craters is about 600 meters in diameter.

AS17-139-21203-5 Combined Images (0.3 Mb or 2.5 Mb)
Patrick Vantuyne has used elements of Jack's three 500-mm shots of the LM from Station 6 to produce a view without reseau crosses.

Syd Buxton has combined the images in a full view (0.3 Mb or 4.8 Mb). He writes "For me, a fabulous but strangely eerie group of images. The 'vulnerability' of the LM within the splendour of the valley, compounded by the distance away from Gene and Jack's position at the time the shots were taken, just magnifies how remarkably brave this entire (Apollo) adventure was. Magnificent .......... (heavy sigh)."

Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 0.4 Mb )
Patrick Vantuyne has combined Gene's photo, 21396, with Jack's photo 21567. Stereo separation is provided by any difference in Rover position and, predominantly, by the fact that Gene and Jack were seated about 2 meters apart. Jack's photo includes the TV camera while Gene's includes the high-gain mast, but neither contributes - or distracts - from the stereo.

Station 6 pan (north). LRV, South Massif, TGE, Henry, Bear Mountain.
AS17-140-21495 (OF300) ( 120k or 908k )
Station 6 pan (north). LRV, Tracy's Rock, Bear Mountain. Note that the light area around the LM can be seen beyond the summit of Fragment 2. Journal Contributor Danny Caes calls attention to the north face of Fragment 2 (on the right which is well-enough lit by reflected sunlight that we can see details on the boulder face despite the dpeth of the shadow. Caes also calls attention to the 'red-brown' color of the boulder face. AFJ Editor David Woods comments, "The best way to see into these dark regions is with a Photoshop-type program (GIMP is a free alternative). With that, the dark regions can be boosted. I've done this with a gain of 4-times. As you can see, the dark area is not so much red-brown but more magenta (pink-purple, a mix of red and blue). And here comes the problem.

"There is a very strong chance that the precise colours of those shadowed areas is being misrepresented by errors in the film dyes - and in the scanning process - so, while there may have been a reddish tone to them (perhaps reflection from the Rover's insulation), be wary of taking them at face value. I'm saying this as someone who colour-balances television programmes for a living."]

[In addition to the factors Woods mentions, dust on the camera lens can introduce reddish hews in dark areas of the field-of-view, as discussed in relation to the partial panoramas Pete Conrad took at Middle Crescent Crater.]

Magazine 141/L (B&W) EVA-3, Frames 21510-21668
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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

164:14:15 EVA-3 at the SEP site. Stereo of the SEP transmitter from the back. A magnified detail shows the two pieces of tape Jack used on the back of the solar panels to keep them open. There were three panels and Jack put a piece of tape at each of the two divisions. Note that the ends of each piece haven't stuck to the panels because of the dust they picked up from Jack's gloves. The center of each piece has stuck because he was able to keep it sufficiently dust free.

Magazine 142/M (B&W) EVA-3, Frames 21669-21833
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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

Magazine 143/N (B&W) EVA-3, 21834-21982
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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

 

Used by Jack Schmitt during EVA-3. Gene also used this camera/magazine to take pictures of the Rover at the VIP site.

170:19:48 Gene took this excellent picture of the LRV at its final parking place about 100 meters east of the LM. it gives good definition of the chevron pattern on the wire-mesh tires. One seismic charge remains in the transporter. Gene will deploy it at the west end of the SEP antenna array at 170:24:16. Note that Gene has already removed the replacement fender.
AS17-143-21934 (OF300) ( 92k or 809k )

Red-blue anaglyph by Erik van Meijgaarden.
AS17-143-21937 (OF300) ( 111k or 966k )
EVA-3 at the SEP site. This photo is the best of the three "locators" Gene took of Seismic Charge 3. Note the SEP antenna-wire spool.
AS17-143-21938 (OF300) ( 59k or 588k )
170:30:00 This is the first of several shots Gene took to document the Flight of the Geology Hammer. A detail shows the hammer more-or less lengthwise against the black sky. Check out Roberto Beltramini's animated gif made from the 21938, 39, and 40. .See, also, a discussion> by Jim Scotti.
AS17-143-21939 (OF300) ( 68k or 636k )
170:30:00 This frame shows the hammer end on against the black sky. Kipp Teague writes, "Here is a low-contrast scan of the area of the photo in 21939 where the hammer can be faintly seen as circled. This area is in line with the trajectory derived from the position of the hammer in 21938 and the impact dust plume in 21940. In addition, we know that the hammer was still in flight in 21939, as there is no trace of it on or near the surface where the impact dust plume can be seen in 21940. By the way, 21939 is a much sharper photo than 21938, at least in terms of surface features.
AS17-143-21940 (OF300) ( 68k or 621k )
170:30:00 This shot shows the spray of dust thrown up by the impact of the hammer.
AS17-143-21941 (OF300) ( 136k or 844k )
170:30:00 This final shot in Gene's coverage of the Flight of the Geology Hammer apparently shows Jack watching the dust settle around what might be called Hammer Crater - a very small crater, indeed.

Journal Contributor Danny Caes notes that we can see Jack's right eye - and, less clearly, the rest of his face in 21941. An enhanced detail shows that, at the time Gene took the picture, Jack was actually looking to his left. This photo emphasizes that fact that helmet orientation tells us very little about head orientation at any given moment. The astronauts had quite a bit of freedom of head movement within the helmet volume.

Magazine 144/R (B&W) Post-EVA-1, EVA-2, Frames 21983-22132
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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

 

Contains sixteen 500-mm images taken from inside the LM after the first EVA. Continues with images taken during EVA-2 by Gene Cernan.

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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

 

Used by Gene Cernan during EVA-2, by both Gene and Jack in the LM cabin after EVA-3, and in lunar orbit after lunar lift-off.

Magazine 146/F (Color) EVA-3, Frames 22289-22450
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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

166:26:58 Station 7 pan. Journal Contributor Bob Fry suggests that the various fragments of the Station 6 boulder - as per Figure 6-14 from the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report - can be identified in 22355. These identifications are made in a labelled version. As indicated in Figure 6-4b from the Preliminary Science Report, the distance between Stations 6 and 7 is about 475 meters. Noting that the spacing of the reseau crosses on the image is 10.3 degrees, we can estimate that the seperation of the tops of boulders 2 and 5 is 0.0205 radians and that the implied physical seperation is 9.7 meters, in satisfactory agreement with the known configuration.

166:53:35 This is Gene's "locator" to the Rover. This excellent picture shows the TV camera pointed off to the left and the high-gain antenna pointed back towards Earth, which is over the South Massif. Note that the low-gain antenna, which is partially hidden by the high-gain is also pointed at Earth.

Magazine 147/A (Color) Rev 12, EVA-1, Frames 22451-22606
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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

 

Used in orbit before the landing and by Jack Schmitt during EVA-1.

Gene took this photo on the orbit before final descent. On the final approach, Gene flew Challenger down over the Sculptured Hills (low, knobby hills in sunlight just right of frame center) and out over the valley floor before landing a little north of the Trident group of craters. The CSM with Ron Evans can be seen in the left distance with the South Massif in the background. Henry is the furthermost of the three largish craters at the foot of the North Massif to the right. The labeled version of this frame picks out a few other features for orientation. Compare this view with the CSM Pan Camera frame and note the distance across the valley from Henry to Bear Mountain and the outcrop hill beyond (in shadow here).

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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".

Ron Evans took this stunning picture of Challenger during a post-rendezvous mutual inspection. Scan by Kipp Teague. Harald Kucharek raised the possibility that the bright arc visible in the LM window might be Gene Cernan's bubble helmet. Subsequent discussion between Kucharek, Markus Mehring, Brian McInall, Mick Hyde, Marv Hein, Ron Wells, and Eric Jones in late 2000 established the following: (1) the orientation of the LM at this time is such that reflections of the CSM off the flat surface of Gene's window would not be visible to Evans; (2) the orientation of the shadows on the front surface of the LM clearly indicate that, from our perspective, the Sun is overhead and that the bright, rectangular light-source above the arc is the rendezvous window with sunlight shining through it; (3) Cernan and Schmitt wore their bubble helmets - but not their LEVAs - for liftoff and rendezvous. Therefore, the bright arc is likely to be either a sunlit portion of the top of Gene's bubble helmet or, as Hein suggests with reference to AS17-149-22859 (see below), Gene's hair. Mick Hyde has produced a labeled detail. The rendezvous window can also be seen at top center in Jack Schmitt's post-EVA-3 portrait of Gene, AS17-145-22225. Finally, as indicated in the labeled detail and in second detail, there seemed to be a possibility that we were seeing a reflection from the front of Gene's helmet of the lunar horizon partially blocked by the CSM. A view of the CSM during the final phases of rendezvous can be seen in AS17-145-22257 which was taken out Gene's window. However, a higher-resolution detail from 22857 by Kipp Teague makes that interpretation less likely. Journal Contributor Markus Mehring notes that, in this detail, Gene's handcontroller can be seen at the bottom corner of the window.

Forward (tunnel) hatch in the command module during the outbound trip. The crew removed the hatch at 4 hours 20 minutes 53 seconds after earth launch (7:00:53 mission time, relative to the planned launch time) so that Gene could inspect the docking latches to make sure the LM and CSM were firmly tied together. Because prior frames on this magazine appear to show Cernan during a rest period and because the next picture (24055) was taken during a LM inspection, 24054 was probably taken after the second time the hatch was removed, at about 39 hours 48 minutes after earth launch (42:28 mission time, relative to the planned launch time).

At 65 hours 24 minutes after earth launch (68:04 mission time relative to the planned time of launch), Jack Schmitt tells CapCom Bob Parker, "Okay, Bob, we're getting ready for the ALFMED. I just took a red-filter and a blue-filter pictures, - On frame 41 now, with a 35-millimeter - pictures of the Earth. And I took them one stop smaller - that is, more open - than the lightmeter said, hoping to compensate for the small Earth. The Earth just barely fills the most inner - the innermost circle of the spotmeter. Also, there's a very strong band of clouds, shaped sort of like a narrow fir tree, with a base about 20 degrees of longitude west of Baja California, that extends up, I believe, into the vicinity of Hawaii. And the top terminates in a very strong northern cyclone pattern." 24072 is obviously the red-filter picture.

Magazine 163/TT (Color) TransEarth Coast, Frames 24107-24180

 

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 raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

Images from Magazine 140/Station 6

 

The following selection of photos from Gene's Station 6 pan at Tracy's Rock were scanned by Ron Wells from high quality color prints supplied by Mike Gentry at the Johnson Space Center. I have retained this section because it was the very best set of digital images we had at the time the Journal was released on a set of four CD-ROMs in May 1999. At the time, I referred to these scans as "very-high resolution".

Ron did a three-pass scan of each of these with an Epson ES-1200C flatbed scanner using Scantastic in Adobe Photoshop at 210 pixels per inch at 100% scale (8" x 10" prints minus borders) which produced a 10 Mb file. They were saved as JPEG files and reduced to a monitor size of 1280 x 1024 pixels which produced files about 130-240K in size. Some detail was lost in the reduction, mostly noticeable as pixellation of the hill curves across the valley. Many readers with smaller 14" and 15" monitors framed at 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 pixels will have to use scroll bars to examine the entire photograph. Those with larger monitors running at 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024 pixels will get the full benefit of seeing these remarkable photos, especially those with PC monitors having 96 pixels per inch resolution. As Ron noted on seeing the photo prints, "for the first time I could understand what Jack and Gene must have felt, when presented with vistas so clear and vivid that distances of 10 km seemed like a 5-minute walk."

AS17-140-21491
To the left of the previous frame showing the South Massif. Hole-in-the-Wall slope is at the far right. Note the fine texture of the lunar regolith in the foreground and the clear impressions of footprints leading away from the Rover. The traverse gravimeter can be seen a few feet behind the Rover along with a sampling tool that Gene planted near it. Craters and boulders on the valley floor can clearly be seen in the direction of Camelot.
AS17-140-21492
The large crater appearing to emerge from Tracy's Rock is Henry. Locke is the boulder strewn crater on the northwest rim of Henry about 1 1/4 fiducials to the left of the central fiducial. The fine-grained lunar regolith is quite apparent in the foreground close to the camera.
AS17-140-21493
Clearer view of Henry and its boulders. The small, boxy, slightly orange-colored object above Henry and to the right of Tracy's Rock - about 1 1/4 fiducials left of center - is Challenger at a distance of about 3.5 km. The distance from Gene to the point where the slope of the South Massif runs down behind the darker slope coming from left is about 10 km, an indication of the deceptive nature of judging lunar distances. (Note that these frames were taken with a 60-mm lens and not the 500-mm lens.)
AS17-140-21494
A better exposed view similar to 21493 with a very apparent Challenger about 3/4 of a fiducial left of center. Bear Mountain is the low domed structure immediately above Tracy's Rock.
AS17-140-21495
View centered on Tracy's Rock. The full lateral extent of Henry can be seen on both sides of the Rock. The orange-gold insulation foil can be easily seen on Challenger. The foothill slopes to the left of Tracy's Rock lie about 8 km away. Note the dark-colored outcrop on the distant hillock at the left and in subsequent frames.
AS17-140-21496
Clear view of Jack passing Tracy's Rock with his sunvisor up, holding the gnomon out in front of him. The Hasselblad camera can be seen attached to his suit. A labeled detail indicates features associated with Gene's sample of the dust on the upslope shelf.

Ron Wells has produced a blow-up of the part of the picture showing Jack. AS17-140-21497

To the left of 21495. Jack is beside Tracy's Rock.
AS17-140-21498
The outcrop on the smaller hill at right just above and between the two fiducial crosses can be clearly seen in the A17 CSM vertical pan view of the valley (see 2309 in previous section). The outcrop lies approximately 18 km (!) from Gene's present position though it seems just a short hop and skip across the valley! Also note the boulders on the East Massif at the left. Jack has moved behind Tracy's Rock.

Journal Contributor Bob Fry notes that Van Serg and its dark ejecta blanket are visible on the far side of Shakespeare Crater. Compare with a detail from Pan Camera frame 2309.

AS17-140-21499
An imposing view towards the east (left). Note the string of boulders (to the right towards the central fiducial cross) that have rolled down the flank of the East Massif. Boulder trails can be seen in the images of this area. The largest of these boulders, about halfway down the side of the mountain, can also be seen in the Apollo 17 Pan Camera frame of the valley floor (2309 above; picked out on labeled version by white arrow). The peak of this mountain is about 20 km away from which one may surmise that the boulders in the line are considerably larger than Tracy's Rock! The corner of Jack's PLSS can just be seen disappearing behind Tracy's Rock.

Similar to 21499.

Gene Cernan's Returned Cover Gloves ()
The Apollo 15, 16, and 17 crews wore cover gloves over their suit gloves to protect against abrasion by lunar dust, particularly when deploying the ALSEP. The cover gloves do not have closed fingertips, which preserves some finger sensitivity. All three crews commented on how worn the cover gloves became and, in the case of Apollo 17, Gene and Jack wore theirs throughout EVAs 1 and 2 and during Rover preps at the start of EVA-3. The cover gloves added bulk to their hand covering, particularly between the fingers and made the work more difficult. However, the cover gloves proved to be vital in protecting the suit gloves. When Gene and I met in his Houston Office in the early 1990s to do the mission review for the A17LSJ, his cover gloves were on display in a glass case near his desk. Some time later, he loaned the gloves to the Kansas Cosmosphere where in 1994, they were photographed for the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. IN the following photographs, note that the cover glove Gene wore on his right had is much more damaged than the glove he wore on his left hand. Gene is right handed although he notes that, as a pilot, he is nearly ambidextrous. In the mission video, he does use his right hand more than his left.
Gene's Handwritten Note for EVA-3 Close-out (426k)
Gene wrote this note on the back of his EVA-3 cuff checklist before the prior rest period. It is a 'tickler' to remind him of what he wanted to say prior to climbing the ladder for the last time. Above the line is the text of the plaque afixed to the ladder and, below the line, the words "Chall(enge) of Apollo. Door Promise." See the transcript and discussion following 170:41:00.

Gene's flown scissors (0.3 Mb)
Each member of the crew had a pair of surgical scissors, primarily to open food packets. See a Dave Scott story about surgical scissors after 108:20:23 in the Apollo 15 Post-SEVA chapter. Photo AS17-162-24096 shows a pair of scissors floating in front of Ron in the Command Module on the way out from Earth. At some point after 24096 was taken, Ron coiuldn't find his pair and, rather than leave Ron scissorless and in danger of starving to death, Gene and Jack left one of their pair with him and took the other down to the surface. When they took the scissors out on the surface for contingency purposes, they asked CapCom Bob Parker to remind them to take the scissors back up to the cabin so they could eat.

LRV Geopallet (95k)

The Geopallet was mounted on a post behind the LMP seat on the back of the Apollo 17 Rover. It was a two-part structure, both hinged at the "geopost". The rear section, called the "gate" by the crew, could be swung open to give access to tools and equipment attached to the inner surfaces of the structure. The forward section could also be swung back to give access to its forward surface and the area behind the seats.

Charge Transporter (97k)

During their traverses, the Apollo 17 crew deployed eight explosive charges which, after the crew was back in orbit, were detonated one by one to provide signals for the Lunar Seismic Profile experiment.
Fender Fix (144k)

At the start of the first EVA, Gene accidentally knocked the right-rear fender off the LRV. At the start of EVA-2, he attached a replacement fender made of spare maps and gray duct tape. The replacement fender is attached with a pair of screw clamps that held auxiliary lamps in the cabin. The Traverse Gravimeter is mounted on the right-rear corner of the Rover above the replacement fender. Gene took this picture just before he and Jack departed Station 2. Note that Jack is seated on the Rover, waiting for Gene to jump into his own seat.

SEP Operations Cartoon ( 158k )

The Surface Electrical Properties experiment consisted of a solar-powered transmitter deployed about 100 meters east of the LM and a receiver mounted behind the LMP's Rover seat. The transmitter emitted low-frequency radio pulses and a comparison between the direct signal and signals that traveled through the ground and reflected off layer boundaries could be used to infer something about the subsurface structure. Data from the SEP supplemented data from the Active Seismic Experiment.
Traverse Gravimeter Experiment (TGE) ( 116k

Traverse Gravimeter Experiment (TGE) Operation ( 93k )

Anyone who tried to lean forward like this would end up in the dirt. First, it is difficult to get the waist to bend this much and secondly, the weight of the PLSS on the astronaut's back moves his center-of-gravity much higher than normal and, in this position, he would pitch forward. Gene actually operated the TGE by standing to the side, sticking his outside leg out away from the TGE, bending his inside knee, and reaching down with his inside hand.
