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.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 - 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.

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.

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.

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.

Anaglyph by Patrick Vantuyne.

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.

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.

Defense Mapping Agency 1: 250,000 sheet scanned at 150 dpi by the Lunar and Planetary Institute. This quadrangle adjoins the Littrow quadrangle on the West and includes (West) Family Mountain.

Adjacent portions of the Littrow and Clerke Quadrangles have been combined to show the valley and features immediately to the west.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ).

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.

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.

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.

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.

This Bellcom representation shows Hole-in-the-Wall from a point on the planned EVA-2 traverse one-half kilometer from the base of the Scarp.

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.

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.

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.

Gene's pan consists of frames AS17-134- 20408 to 20431. A VR version is also available. Assemblies by Mike Constantine.

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.

A number of boulders in the panorama have been tentatively identified via comparison ( 0.3 Mb ) with AS17-147-22502, a frame from Jack's 4-o'clock pan taken early in EVA-1 at the LM, with the relevant frames from Gene's portrait of the North Massif, taken at the LM late in EVA-2, and with a detail from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter image nacl00000d11. Boulder 'e' is near the west edge of the track made by the dark boulder. The dark-boulder track is invisible from Station 6 with the Sun low in the east. Boulders at the apparent start, as seen from the LM, of the Station 6 track are those labeled 'i', 'j', and 'k', all on the far right. A portion of the Station 6 boulder track can be seen in an enchanced segment ( 0.6 Mb ) of Jack's mini-pan. With the Sun low in the east, the wall of the track facing the Sun is slightly brighter than the opposite wall. A marked version ( 0.6 Mb )gives a sense of the track location, with the center line and margins indicated along two segments. Boulder 'e' is near the west edge of the track made by the dark boulder.

Jack's 500-mm frames taken while he braced himself against the boulder. The frames are AS17-139-21208-09 and 21211. This assembly, by Syd Buxton was rotated to match the orientation seen in Gene's Station 6 pan. Syd writes that he did not use 21210 in the assembly because the image is slightly blurred.

The frames are AS17-141- 21646 to 21664. Jack took this pan at 11-foot focus and kept his aim low to show the areas from which they would collect samples. The pan includes very little of the horizon. Assembled by Bob Fry.

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."

Dave Byrne has combined photos taken out the windows after PLSS jettison. The photos taken out Jack's window are AS17-143- 21943 to 21960. those taken out Gene's window are 21961 to 21982.

Gene Cernan having a final suit fit check at ILC Industries, Dover, Delaware. Photo filed 6 March 1972. Scan by Ed Hengeveld.

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.

Ron Evans undergoes final flight fit checkout and integration of the Apollo 7-L spacesuit. Note the lack of a pulley at the entrance to the cable tube on his right shoulder, perhaps because the Command Module Pilot would not require as much mobility nor exercise the suit nearly as much as the surface crew. 7 March 1972.

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."

Gene Cernan waves to tourist at the Cape. He is seated on the LRV 1g-trainer, waiting for the busses to pass. He has the drill strapped to the LMP seat with the LMP seatbelt, as would be the case when he drives out to the ALSEP deployment site early in EVA-1. He appears to have the Traverse Gravimeter on the back of the Rover, but not the geopallet. Scan by Kipp Teague.

Watched by a large group of tourists at the Cape, Gene Cernan gets a heat flow drill stem out of the stem quiver during training. The rammer-jammer is resting against the core-stem rack and the drill is in the foreground. The hose going out of the picture to the right provides ice-cold cooling water while the cable attached to the bottom of Gene's training PLSS provides communications via the electronics box at the center of the picture. Scan by Kipp Teague

Gene Cernan removes the drill from its pallet at the LMP's seat on the one-g LRV trainer. The LRV console is at the left side of the picture with the handcontroller and brown-colored armrest at center. On Apollo 15 and 16, a 16-mm Data Acquisition Camera (DAC) was mounted on the post next to Gene's right arm. Here, it carries only a wire loop from which Jack's seatbelt latching mechanism is hanging. Scan by Kipp Teague

Gene Cernan has attached the wrench to the drill stem and is blocking the wrench handle with his left boot while he unscrews the drill from the stem. ALSJFB reader Michael Christopher has located a number of training images showing members of both the prime and backup crews for missions on which the drill was to be flown wearing versions of the cover glove.

Gene Cernan, facing us and holding a hammer, preparing to collect a rock sample during training at the Cape. Jack Schmitt, with his back to us, could be taking a documentation photo of the rock and gnomon. There is a comm cable coming out of the back's PLSS and a hose coming back from a connector on the front of the suit. The hose carries cooling water. Note that a technician is at Gene's left, partly hidden beyond Jack, who is managing Gene's comm cable and cooling water hose, making sure both are clear and unbent. Another tech is behind Jack, out of the field-of-view, handling Jack's hose and cable. July 1972. Scan courtesy Margaret Persinger, KSC

Jack Schmitt (left) tips a rock sample into a bag held by Gene Cernan during training at the Cape. On the Moon with the suit fully inflated, Jack would have had a relatively difficult time raising his arms this high; getting a sample into a bag would be easier if Gene held the bag lower.

Jack Schmitt (left) collects a sample with the LRV sampler during training at the Cape. He is leaning slightly to his right and has a grip on the accessory staff with his left hand for stability. He probably has turned his head inside the helmet so he can see what he is getting although, as he notes in a 2000 e-mail message: "The sampler was mainly just for collecting representative samples of regolith fines along the traverse route, so seeing what you grabbed was not critical most of the time."

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."

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."

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.]

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.

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.

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.

118:25:54 EVA-1 at the LM. This is an excellent portrait of Jack with the U.S. flag and the Earth. We get a good view of Jack's chest-mounted RCU and the camera bracket. Using planetarium program Starry Night Deluxe, we see that, had cloud cover over the southwestern Pacific been lighter, Antarctica would have been visible at the left and Australia would have been coming into view over the top. Four hours later, Earth's rotation would bring Australia to center stage.

Jack resumes his photography using magazine 134.

118:26:32 Gene holds the lower corner of the U.S. flag with the South Massif in the background. Good view of the OPS release on the side of his RCU.

118:26:32 EVA-1 at the LM. Gene is holding a corner of the flag and saluting. We see the LRV (Lunar Roving Vehicle) in the background and, on his chest, the "Red Apple" purge valve actuator. He has the geology hammer in his right shin pocket. Ken Glover notes that Gene's face ( 140k ) can be seen thru the gold visor in this picture and, more clearly, in 20387.

118:26:38 EVA-1 at the LM. Photo of Gene with the Earth above him. Note the antenna on the top of his OPS and the OPS activation ring mounted on the right side of his chest-mounted RCU. Gene is holding the lower corner of the American flag. Note the checklist on the top of his glove, and the watch strap on his arm, just above the top of his glove. Ken Glover notes that Gene's face ( 236k ) can be seen thru the gold visor in this picture and in 20386.

118:30:03 During his inspection of the LM, Jack notices that the lower orange Mylar on the rear leg, just above the foot pad, is folded slightly. This could indicate that Gene stroked the gear during touchdown. If so, it would have been a first and Jack took this picture for documentation purposes.

118:31:52 EVA-1 at the LM. View of the front of the Rover from next to the CDR's seat. LCRU mirror, TV camera, dustbrush, TCU, battery covers, LRV sampler cups.

This magazine is not used again until over three hours later, when Gene uses it during the first traverse.

121:56:26 During the first part of the traverse to Station 1, Gene drives east about a half kilometer until he gets to the east end of three overlapping craters collectively called Trident. He then turns south, stops to check the map, and takes this picture toward Bear Mountain. Jack takes AS17-136-20727 from the same spot.

121:56:26 Gene takes this traverse photo at some point during the drive toward Steno.

168:47:03 The second of three photos Gene took of Jack jumping into the LMP Rover seat. Good view of the segmented mirror on the top of the TV camera. Jack has the LRV sampler in his right hand. Note the seismic charge transporter mounted behind Gene's seat, just in front of the rake. Both the low-gain and high-gain antennas are pointed at Earth. The East Massif is in the distance. A labeled detail shows a Velcro strap used to secure the high-gain antenna lead to the high-gain mast. A second detail shows the low-gain antenna lead now secured to something on Gene's side of the console.

Jack has just removed magazine Karen from the camera equipped with the 500mm lens. Journal Contributor Ben Zarlingo notes that the open back of a camera can be seen at bottom center in 20472 - presumably the 500mm camera. Jack has the magazine he's just removed in his left hand.

Jack returns the favor by taking more photos of Gene. He will keep this camera/magazine for the rest of the EVA.

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.

141:43:03. Gene has turned toward the south before returning his westward heading toward Hole-in-the-Wall. The crater may be the one Jack describes for Houston.

141:43:25. Gene is now skirting the Station 5 boulder field, which is at right-center. He is on a more westerly heading to still to the south of the heading to Hole-in-the Wall.

141:43:25. Gene is still skirting the Station 5 boulder field and has turned even more to the south.

141:44:03. Gene is still skirting the Station 5 boulder field but on a more westerly heading.

141:44:21. Gene is now on a heading toward Hole-in-the-Wall. The boulders on the right are near the southwest rim of Camelot.

141:44:21. The number of boulders starts to decrease as they get farther from Camelot. Individual boulders can be traced from frame to frame as Gene maintains a relatively steady heading.

141:44:21. Traverse from Camelot toward Horatio.

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.

LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. Gene continues his return to a northerly heading. The LM is on the left under the high-gain antenna.

LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. The heading changes very little between 20812 and 20813.

122:42:15 LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. Gene has driven toward the blocky-rimmed, small crater on the righthand edge of 20813. This frame differs only slightly from 20815 and was taken at the same spot as Gene's frames AS17-134- 20433 and 20434. The four frames are "locators" for the EP-7 deployment site.

122:42:15 LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. Similar to 20815. "Locator" for EP-7 deployment or, possibly, the first frame in the LRV pan. After Jack deployed the charge, Gene drove the Rover in a tight, clockwise circle while Jack took photos. The TV camera is pointed at Wessex Cleft.

122:43:44 LRV pan for seismic charge 7. Rightward of 20827, completing the Rover pan. A comparison of details 20828 and 20813 ( 391k ) indicates that 20828 was taken from a spot a bit farther north than 20813 but along much the same line-of-sight. In 20828, the Rover tracks laid down after Jack took 20813 are off-camera to the right.

LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. Gene has driven toward the area shown in the detail comparison between 20813 and 20828 and is avoiding the crater on the left. The LM is in the distance beyond the righthand edge of that crater and the dark boulder is on the flank of the North Massif near the righhand edge of the image.

LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. The LM is on the left. Some of the boulders above and to the left of the TV camera can be located in 20848. A comparison of the relative sizes of the LM image in this frame and AS17-134-20442 from Gene's SEP pan, they are currently about 300 meters from the LM.

LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. The LM is at the extreme left. The crater above the TV camera is to the right of the TV camera in 20849.

LRV traverse from Station 1 to the SEP site. Gene is driving around the east side of the fresh crater that was above the TV camera in 20850.

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.

Picture of the replacement fender taken at about 143:46:34 by Gene Cernan, just before driving off from Station 2. Jack Schmitt is already seated. 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.

145:49:03 Leftward of 21007. This frame is part of an excellent pan that Gene took from the SE rim of Shorty Crater. It shows Jack at his Rover seat and, in addition to the patch of orange soil between the Rover and the boulder beyond, it shows streaks of orange soil on the inner wall of the crater beyond the boulder. Journal Contributor Yuri Krasilnikov has created an animation of Jack's activities at the Rover captured in 21009, 10, 11, and 12.

145:49:03 Similar to 21010. Jack is at his LRV seat holding the double core. The trench site in orange soil is at the fiducial mark to the left and just above the LRV. Note the patch of orange soil on reseau spacing left and below the center cross.

145:49:03 Leftward of 21011. Jack is now at the front of the Rover. The in-bound Rover tracks are labeled in a detail ( 162k ).

145:49:03 Leftward of 21012, with the back of the Rover at the righthand edge. Note the two, fresh, sharp-rimmed craters in the middle distance, with the righthand crater being indented on the north by a smaller crater. As can be seen in a detail ( 240k ), Gene drove close to the rim of the righthand crater on his way to Station 4. The Rover wheels are centered 72 inches ( 1.8 m) apart and we can estimate that the main component of the righthand crater is about 10 meters in diameter. As can be seen in a labeled detail from Pan Camera frame 2309 ( 1.6 Mb ), this crater is about 80 meters from Gene's pan location on the southeast rim of Shorty.

145:49:03 Leftward of 21013. Lennie Waugh notes that an addition track segment can be seen in the distance, as indicated in an enhanced detail ( 154k ).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Station 6. 500-mm lens. LM. Note that Geophone Rock and the ALSEP Central Station are in the portion of the image framed by the two fiducials to the right of the central fiducials and by the two above them.

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)."

Frame from Jack's EVA-3 pan. Up-Sun photo of the LM ladder, the hatch, the MESA to the left of the ladder, the LRV deployment hardware to the right, and the SEP pallet against the leftmost (north) strut. Note the jettison bags under the LM at the right edge of the frame.

EVA-3 pan at the LM. Similar to 21370. A detail shows a reflection in Jack's window of the upper thruster. The reflection appears to be doubled, undoubtedly because of the two panes of glass that make up the window.

Gene Cernan uses the magazine to take three tourist pictures of Jack at the LM.

AS17-140-21385 (OF300) ( 136k or 844k )

164:10:28 EVA-3 at the LM. Portrait of Jack with the LRV in the foreground and the U.S. flag in the background. Note the checklist on his left wrist and the camera mounted on his chest-mounted Remote Control Unit (RCU). A packet of individual sample bags is hanging from his camera bracket. Note, also, the LRV sampler which Jack is either holding in his left hand or has attached to a waist-mounted "yo-yo" tether.

EVA-3 at the LM. This is the best of the three portraits that Gene took of Jack at the start of EVA-3. Yuri Krasilnikov notes that, as can be seen in a detail, Earth can be seen over the South Massif in reflection from Jack's visor. Indeed, it's visible in the entire series of tourist photos: 21385 to 21391. The best Earth images are in 21386 and 21391. A detailshows Jack's watch and watch band on his left arm and his wrist-mirror band on his right arm.

EVA-3 at the LM. Similar to 21385 and 21386.

Jack Schmitt uses the magazine to take four tourist pictures of Gene at the LM.

AS17-140-21388 (OF300) ( 136k or 908k )

164:11:18 EVA-3 at the LM. Jack took four portraits photos of Gene at the start of EVA-3. The best of these is 21390.

164:11:18 Portrait of Gene at the start of EVA-3. The TV camera is pointed at the Sculptured Hills.

EVA-3 at the LM. This is the best of the portraits that Jack took of Gene at the start of EVA-3. Note that Gene is not wearing a camera on his chest-mounted RCU. Jack is using Gene's camera to take the picture. ALSJFB reader Frank Bedal calls attention to an image of Earth reflect off the upper part of Gene's visor. Times used in the Apollo 17 Journal are relative to the planned time of launch, 02:53 UTC on 7 December 1972. This set of pictures was taken at 23:04 UTC on 13 December 1972. Earth is at an elevation of 44 degrees and azimuth of 239, directly over the South Massif as seen from the LM. Note that the LRV high-gain antenna is pointed at Earth.

164:11:18 This is the best of the portraits that Jack took of Gene at the start of EVA-3. Jack, with the South Massif behind him, is clearly visible in Gene's face plate. A detail shows the RCU and the OPS activator on the left side (from our perspective), the label at the lower right for the push-to-talk switch, and the camera-mount attachment hardware at left center.

Gene Cernan uses the magazine during the EVA-3 traverse.

LRV traverse from the SEP site to Station 6. Gene took this excellent portrait of Turning Point Rock at about the same place that Jack took AS17-141-21567.

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.

LRV traverse from the SEP site to Station 6. Turning Point Rock. Henry Crater extends from beyond the rock to the left edge of the image. Bear Mountain is to the right. Note the Rover tracks between the small, foreground crater and Turning Point Rock.
