ROOSA Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart A. Roosa was one of 19 astronauts selected by NASA in 1966. In 1969, he received experience on Apollo Space Flights as a member of the astronaut support crew for the flight of Apollo 9. As with most other astronauts, Roosa's mili- tary career was spent as a test pilot. His last assignment prior to entering astronaut training was as an experimental test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Since 1953, Roosa acquired over 4,300 flight hours, of which some 3,900 flight hours were logged in jet aircraft. Roosa was born on August 16, 1933 in Durango, Colorado. He went on to be grad- uated with honors and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautical Engineering at the Univer- sity of Colorado. He received his flight training and commission in the Air Force at Williams Air Force Base in Arizona. ALAN B. SHEPARD, jR. Navy Captain Alan B. Shepard joined the national space program in April 1959. On May 5, 1961 he became noted in history as the first American to journey into space when he rode his Freedom 7 spacecraft on a suborbital flight pattern that carried him to an altitude of 116 statute miles. ln May 1969, following the correction of an inner ear disorder, Shepard was restored to full flight status. He was subsequently named to serve as spacecraft commander for the Apollo 14 flight, during which he became the fifth man to walk on the surface of the Moon., ln 1950, Shepard attended the United States Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Mary- land. After graduation, he participated in flight test work at Moffett Field in California. That same year Shepard attended the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island. Following graduation, he was assigned to the staff of the Commander-in-Chief Atlantic Fleet as Aircraft Readiness Officer. Shepard was-born on November 15, 1923 in Derry, New Hampshire. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree from the United States Naval Academy in 1944 and was awarded an Honorary Master of Arts Degree from Dartmouth College in 1962. EDGAR D. MITCHELL Like Roosa, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Dean Mitchell was one of the 19 astronauts selected by NASA in 1966. He later served as a member of the astronaut support crew for Apollo 9 and was the backup lunar module pilot for Apollo 10. Mitchell came to the Manned Spacecraft Center after graduating first in his class from the Air Force Aerospace Research Pilot School. As the Apollo 14 Lunar Module Pilot, Mitchell became the sixth man to walk on the Moon, stepping down to the lunar surface just minutes after Alan Shepard. ' Together he and Alan Shepard gathered a total of 96 pounds of Moon rocks during their 33-M hour stay on the Moon. There they also con- ducted numerous surface experiments. It was Mitchell's job to control the flight and orbit of the LEM in transit to and from the Moon. Mitchell was born September 17, 1930 in Hereford, Texas. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Management from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1952 and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aero- nautical Engineering from the U.S. Naval Post- graduate School in 1961. ln 1964, he earned yet another degree, a Doctor of Science Degree in AeronautlcslAstronautics, from the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. The Saturn V rocket was especially designed for the Apollo Mission series. To date it is the largest and most powerful rocket in the world, capable of putting more than a quarter of a million pounds of payload into Earth orbit or sending 95,000 pounds to the lVloon. The rocket consists of three separately functional units or stages designated S-1C, S-2 and S-IVB. The first stage iS-1Cl is the largest and most powerful of the three stages. It measures 138 feet long and 33 feet in diameter. When fueled, the stage holds 214,200 gallons of RP-1 kerosene and 346,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and weighs in excess of 5,028,000 pounds. Equipped with five F-1 engines weighing ten tons each, the first stage produces approximately 7.5 million pounds of thrust to create initial lift off from the Earth's surface. In turn, the combined thrust of the engines burns over 15 tons of propellants per second during their two and one-half minutes of operation and takes the vehicle to a height of about 36 miles with a speed of about 6,000 miles-per-hour. The total amount of propellants the first stage con- sumes in those few short minutes is comparable to the oxygen necessary to support half a billion people and the fuel necessary to simultaneously operate three million automobiles. After its short journey, the first stage separates from the rest of the Saturn V and the second stage takes over. The second stage QS-21 also contains five engines, but they are smaller than those contained in stage one. These ':F 12f ...- 7 five 1-2 engines used in the second stage develop a total thrust of over one million pounds. The stage is 81 and one-half feet long and 33 feet in diameter. Unlike stage one, the second stage burns liquid hydro- gen rather than kerosene. This is because hydrogen produces more thrust per pound of fuel than kerosene. However, kerosene is a much more stable fuel than liquid hydrogen, and is thus preferred, in view of safety pre- cautions, for initial lift off on Earth. As with stage one, liquid oxygen is still converted into a gas for use in the combustion process. When the second stage is fueled it holds 267,700 'gallons of liquid hydrogen and 87,400 gallons of liquid oxygen and weighs over 1,064,000 pounds. The liquid hydrogen is stored in the Saturn V at a temperature of minus 423 degrees F. and turns into a gas at any temperature above that. On the other hand, liquid oxygen is stored at minus 287 degrees F. and is con- sidered hot in its liquified state at that temperature. These propellants are burned at a rate of over one ton per second during about six and one-half minutes of operation to take the vehicle to an altitude of about 108 miles and a speed of near orbital velocity, which in this case is about 17,400 miles-per-hour. Stage three QS-lVl3l contains but one engine. lt is capable of producing 230,000 pounds of thrust and carries a combined fuel package of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen amounting to 87,300 gallons. The third stage has two important operations during the Project Apollo lunar mission. After the second stage drops away, the third ignites and burns for about two minutes to place itself and the spacecraft into the desired Earth orbit. At the proper time during this Earth parking orbit, the third stage is re-ignited to speed the Apollo spacecraft to escape velocity of 24,900 miles-per-hour. In this second sequence, the stage burns for about six minutes. The stage is 58 feet long and 21.7 feet in diameter. The instrument unit, located atop the third stage, between the stage and thepayload, contains guidance and control equipment for the launch vehicle. It is 3 feet long and 21.7 feet in diameter. Stage three has an operational life of four hours before all systems become inoperative and separation occurs. This was why Apollo 14's docking problem in Earth orbit was so very critical. The astronauts were battling a time element as well as mechanical problems. The final section of the 365 foot tall Saturn V Moon rocket is the Apollo spacecraft itself, which rests atop the instrument unit. The spacecraft contains three distinctly separate modules: the lunar module, service module and command module. LUNAR MODULE The lunar module was named Antares for the star on which the landing craft oriented itself as it headed down to the Fra Mauro region of the Moon. The module was essentially composed of two units, the ascent stage and the descent stage. The ascent stage measured approximately 12 feet high and 14 feet in diameter. The descent stage was about the same size as her sister unit, measuring about 10 and one-half feet high and 14 feet in diameter. Both stages were encased in a shield of mylar and aluminum alloy for protection against heat and micrometeoroids. Each stage served a distinct purpose during the Apollo 14 lunar landing. The descent stage was equipped with special landing gear called struts, which were mounted' in dish-like footpads, and filled with a honeycomb of crush- able aluminum providing for a soft landing. A 68-inch sensing probe was also attached to the end of each strut. The probes told the astronauts to shut down their descent engine upon contact with the Moon's surface. After the astronauts had touched down on the Moon, the descent stage served only as a launching pad for the later scheduled blastoff. The job of the ascent stage was to carry Astronauts Shepard and Mitchell off the Moon and back to the command module. It was equipped with a drogue used to align the lunar module with the command module in docking. The ascent stage also contained a tunnel, 32 inches in diameter, which allowed the astronauts to crawl from the ascent stage into the command module. The tunnel could only be reached by opening a hatch in the lunar module, which could not be opened unless equal pressure was present on both sides. Consequently, a per- fectly tight seal had to be made in the docking process or the astronauts would have been unable to pass through the adjoining tunnel. Should difficulty arise in the dock- ing procedure, which would not allow passage between the two modules through the tunnel, alternative methods would be utilized. ln such an emergency, the astronauts could leave Antares through a hatch, walk through space, and then enter Kitty Hawk through its hatch. After the successful docking of the ascent stage with the command module, Antares was sent hurtling back to the Moon's surface. Its impact was recorded and analyzed by NASA in Houston as part ofa seismological experiment. Scientists hope this will help them learn more about the Moon's crust and the Moon's origin. SERVICE MODULE The service module is, as the name implies, a unit which serves the command module. Its main function is to provide the necessary power to propel and maneuver the command module in its flight to and from the Moon. lt is equipped with a restartable main propulsion engine, which can be used to make mid-course corrections during flight, deboost the vehicle into Moon orbit and then boost it out of Moon orbit and back to Earth. It is also fitted with attitude control rockets, which permit the craft to roll, pitch and yaw, as well as edge upward, downward and sideways during flight. These rockets serve the same purpose as horizontal stabilizers, ailerons and the rudder on conventional airplanes. Both the rockets and main propulsion engine burn hypergolic or self-igniting fuels. When a pair of oxi- dizers and propellant liquids are mixed together, they ignite spontaneously. Thus, the process is totally a chemi- cal reaction and no spark plugs or other electric ignlters are needed to start the engine or rockets. Three compact hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, together with tanks of supercooled hydrogen and oxygen, supply the craft's total electrical power. These remain functional until the last five hours or so when the service module is cast away from the command module upon returning to Earth. The actual separation occurs when an electrical signal fires explosive bolts holding the two modules together. Another job of these fuel cells is the manufacturing of part of the astronaut's drinking water. lt is actually a byproduct of the chemical reaction that makes their electricity. The service module is also equipped with space radi- ators. These radiators are much different than the radiators used in cars, yet still serve the same purpose. The radiators are actually outside walls of the craft, lined with tiny tubes through which liquid ethylene glycol is pumped. This liquid carries heat generated by human, mechanical and electrical systems from the interior of the two modules to their exterior surfaces. Also contained in the service module is a dish-shaped antenna. It folds out and automatically aims itself to Earth, allowing communication between the astronauts and NASA. COMMAND MODULE The command module of Apollo 14 was called Kitty Hawk because as the astronauts put it: That's where it all started. Kitty Hawk is a community in North Caro- lina where the American aviation pioneers, the Wright brothers, first demonstrated powered flight by man early in this century. The module, piloted by Astronaut Roosa, contained the necessary life support systems for the three astro- nauts and was the only unit of the entire spacecraft which returned to Earth. The command module is 13 feet in diameter and weighs 11,000 pounds. Pre-launch activities for Apollo 14 actually began months and even years in advance when NASA and the U.S. government released contracts for the building of the rocket, space capsule, and LEM. But most important of the actual Cape Kennedy activities began six days before the day of lift off. During this period jan. 25-31, 1971 highly skilled Cape l l Kennedy technicians completed the work on the electri- cal circuitry and perfected the space vehicle ignition equipment. Once the mechanical buildup of space- components was accomplished the final phase of fueling the command, service and lunar landing modules was completed. The official Cape Kennedy countdown started 28 hours before the designated launch time 13:23 p.m. EST on Sunday jan. 31, 19711 and continued to the T minus nine hour mark when a built-in 'hold went into effect. The fueling of the Saturn V rocket began eight hours prior to blast off. The fueling of Saturn V required four hours and 27 minutes to complete. With four hours and 17 minutes prior to lift off, the Apollo 14 astronauts were awakened. They underwent a brief medical examination before arriving at the launch pad. Approximately two hours and 40 minutes before the launch, astronauts Shepard, Roosa and Mitchell climbed into the capsule. . .their home for the next nine days. Once inside, astronaut Alan Shepard proceeded to check out the Emergency Detection System with the launch team on the ground. This check took place at T minus one hour and 51 minutes. The launch was delayed some 40 minutes at the T minus eight minute mark due to adverse weather con- 'W ...Laughing ditions in the form of thunder storm activity around Cape Kennedy. Since lightning struck the Apollo 12 rocket in November 1969, NASA has ruled no lift offs will be attempted in adverse weather. So the NASA technicians waited for the bulk of the storm to pass before giving Apollo 14 a Go at 4:05 p.m. EST on Sunday january 31, 1971. At T minus five minutes the Apollo access arm, the last hold on the spacecraft, was retracted. With 3:06 left to blast off, the Firing Command began in automatic sequence. This automatic count con- tinued until lift off. With 8.9 seconds to lift-off, the actual ignition sequence started. When the big Saturn V rocket roared off the pad, at Kennedy Space Center Complex 39A amidst bellowing smoke and flames, it was on an azimuth of 72 degrees, or in a direction which, if not corrected, would take the spacecraft past the Moon if no further maneuvers were initiated. Downrange and after the 11 minute mark Go Ahead for Earth orbit, the astronauts tried docking and encountered some difficulties in the spacecraft's latching mechanism. The difficulties were later corrected and the mission was on. At approximately 30-and-one-half-hours Ground Elapsed Time CC-ETD the spacecraft changed course to produce the desired conditions for altitude, time and sun angle for lunar orbit. Lunar orbit was accomplished about 60 hours later. Once in lunar orbit, the astronauts began the primary mission objectives, not the landing but the all important photography of possible future Moon landing sites. '- The astronauts also carried out experiments during this period to determine lunar gravity pull, the Moon's electromagnetic properties and an Apollo Window Meteroid Test to determine the effect of space particles on surfaces. Shortly after the spacecraft went into lunar orbit, the astronauts began photographing the Southern Highland, north of the crater Descartes, which is one of the several sites under consideration for future long-stay Moon missions. The Descartes area is scientifically interesting from the standpoint of determining the age and composition of the highland surface material as well as estimating volcanism time spans and compositional trends. Luriar surface touchdown was scheduled for 4:16 a.m. EST February 5,1971. The next major phase of the Apollo 14 mission was the lunar landing descent phase, which involved the undock- ing and separating the LEM Antares from the Command Module Kitty Hawk. The site where the astronauts landed was designated the Fra Mauro formation, and offered a widespread geo- logical area covering large portions of the lunar surface around Mare lmbrium, commonly referred to as the Sea of Rains. The Apollo 14 Moon landing site of Fra -Mauro was the same as selected for the aborted Apollo 13 mission. But the site was not re-selected for that reason or overnight. The Fra Mauro area became interesting to the space scientists when seisometers relayed back to Earth signals of monthly Moonquakes believed to have origi- nated in the Fra Mauro crater area as the Moon passed through its perigee. These Moonquakes were felt 110 miles to the west at Surveyor crater where the seismometers left by the Apollo 12 astronauts measured the quakes' intensity. The exact Apollo 14 landing site was about 30 miles north of the Fra Mauro crater, having the coordinates of three degrees 40' and 19 south latitude by 17 degrees 27' and 46 west longitude. The 700-mile wide Mare lmbrium is the largest recog- nizable impact structure on the Moon, and is thought to have been formed by the major impact of a huge mass colliding with the Moon during the period when the Earth and planets were forming. The Fra Mauro forma- tion is believed to be made up of the refuse thrown out from that impact. The area is characterized by ridges a few hundred feet high which radiate from the lmbrium basin separated by valleys. The initial refuse thrown out by the collision or ejecta blanket is now buried by younger rubble and lunar soil churned up by recent meteorite impacts and possibly Moonquakes. . For this reason, the Fra Mauro site is believed to be where the age of the Moon may be found. That is primarily why the 96 pounds of Moon rocks picked up by Astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell are so important. Fra Mauro debris may have come from as deep as a 100 miles below the original lunar crust, and the Apollo 14 mission lunar samples should indicate when the lmbrium basin was formed and help to establish the age and physical-chemical nature of the pre-impact material from deep in the Moon's crust. lt is theorized that the Fra Mauro rocks will predate the Apollo 11 f4.6 billion yearsj and the Apollo 12 samples f3.5 billion yearsj and add yet another batch of statistical data that will make the Apollo 14 Moon mission that much more meaningful. During the first EVA or Moon walk, which came approximately five hours ,after landing on the lunar sur- face, Astronauts Alan Shepardiand Edgar Mitchell spent most of their time setting up experimental projects, which would remain on the Moon to transmit scientific data back to Earth for the Manned Space Flight Network on a long-term physical and experimental properties basis. This information will be correlated with known Earth information for further knowledge on the origins of Earth and the Moon. j During the time Astronauts Mitchell and Shepard' were roaming the lunar surface they gathered some 96 pounds of Moon rocks and took numerous photographs of surface formations. Meanwhile, high in the command module, 60 miles up, Stuart Roosa conducted many radio signal transmission experiments and photographed the lunar surface from his low angle. Approximately 33-M hours after setting down on the Moon's surface Shepard and Mitchell climbed back into their LEM and ascended into lunar orbit and successfully docked with the command module, manned by Roosa. After the docking, the LEM was sent into a deorbit and deliberately crashed on the lunar surface, where its impact was measured and transmitted back to Earth by the ALSEP instruments. A few 'hours later-, the -astronauts made their transearth injection and turned their command module Kitty Hawk homeward. There were five scientific experiments left ony the Moon by the Apollo 14 astronauts. They were: Passive Seismic Experiment QPSE1, Active Seismic Experiment CASE1, Suprathermal lon Detector CSIDE1, Cold Cathod lon Gage ICCIG1, and Charged Particle Lunar Environ- mental Experiment lCPLEE1. One additional experiment was deployed near the other experiments, the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector ILRRR of LR31. The ASE, SIDE, CCIG and CPLEE experiments were all part of the robot laboratory called ALSEP, meaning Apollo Lunar Scientific Experiment Package. Nearly the entire first Moon walk period of Apollo was taken up to establish it. The seismometer and most of the other experiments in that package were designed to continue operation for at least one year after the astronauts' departure from the Moon. A small nuclear power gener- ator in ALSEP is providing the necessary electricity for operating the instruments, the heaters that keep them warm during the cold two-week-long lunar night and the automated radio transmitter than relays information to Earth. PASSIVE SEISMIC EXPERIMENT The PSE will measure seismic activity of the Moon and gather and relay information to Earth on the physical properties of the lunar crust and interior. The PSE will report seismic data on the man-made impacts fLM ascent stage1, natural impacts of meteorites, and Moonquakes. Dr. Gary Latham of the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory is responsible for the PSE design and sub- sequent experiment analysis. A similiar PSE, deployed as part of the Apollo 12 experiments near Surveyor Crater in November 1969, has transmitted to Earth data on lunar surface seismic events since that time. However, another seismometer left at Tranquillity Base in july 1969 by Apollo 11 was powered by solar cells and could transmit data only during the lunar day. It is no longer functioning. When Apollo 14 made its translunar injection, they sent the spent S-IVB stage and the instrument unit to the Moon. This stimulated the passive seismometer near Sur- veyor Crater. A The S-IVB unit weighed 30,836 pounds and when it hit the Moon, it was traveling about 4,942 nautical miles per hour. It provided an energy source at impact equiva- lent to about 11 tons of TNT. After Shepard and Mitchell had made their rendezvous with the command module, the lunar module ascent stage was jettisoned and later ground-commanded :to impact on the lunar surface about 32 statute miles from the Apollo 14 landing site at Fra Mauro. ACTIVE SEISMIC EXPERIMENT The Active Seismic .experiment QASE1 produced data on the physical structure and bearing strength of the lunar surface by measuring seismic waves. There were two types of man-made seismic sources used with the ASE: a crew-actuated pyrotechnic thumper and a mortar-like device from which four rocket propelled projectiles could be launched by command from Earth. Naturally produced seismic events will be detected passively by the ASE. The seismic waves are tested by geophones deployed by the crew. Data on wave penetration, fre- quency spectra and velocity to lunar depths' of 500 feet will be obtained and passed to the Apollo Lunar Scientific Experimental Package central station for trans- mittal to Earth. Dr. Robert Kovach of Stanford Uni- versity is the Principal Investigator. The mortar like device was deployed, aligned and acti- vated about 10 feet northwest of the ALSEP central station. The four grenade-like projectiles were to be launched sometime after the crew returned. The crew fired 21 thumper charges at 15 foot inter- vals along a geophone line that they set up at 10, 160 and 310 feet from the ALSEP central station. The thumper serves as a storage and transport rack for the geophones and their connecting cable. SUPRATHERMAL ION DETECTOR EXPERIMENT AND COLD CATHODE ION GAUGE EXPERIMENT The Suprathermal lon Detector Experiment CSIDE1 will measure flux, composition, energy and velocity of low energy positive ions and the high energy solar wind flux of positive ions. Combined with the SIDE is the Cold Cathode lon Gage Experiment CCCIG1. It analyzes gases which are escaping from the rocks and the Moon's interior in minute quantities or gases arriving on the Moon from the Sun. Data gathered by the SIDE will yield the following information: Q11 interaction between ions reaching the Moon from outer space and captured by lunar gravity and those ions that escape, 121 whether or not secondary ions are generated by ions impacting the lunar surface, Q31 whether volcanic processes exist on the Moong C41 effects of the ambient electric field, Q51 loss rate of contaminants left in the landing area by the LEM and the crew, and 161 ambient lunar atmosphere pressure. Dr. john Freeman of Rice University is the SIDE Principal Investigator and Dr. Francis S. johnson of the University of Texas is the CCIG Principal Investigator. CHARGED PARTICLE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT EXPERIMENT The Charged Particle Lunar Environment Experiment QCPLEE1 is designed to measure electrons and protons and other atomic particles that bombard the Moon from space. In this way, the CPLEE is a step toward answering the perplexing questions about the workings of the Earth's magnetic environment. Dr. Brian j. O'Brian of the University of Sidney is the Principal Investigator. LASER RANGING RETRO-REFLECTOR EXPERIMENT The Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector ,Experiment QLRRR1 consists of 100 reflective quartz cubes which the astronauts adjusted so they face toward the Earth. Con- centrated light beams from lasers can be directed from Earth to the instrument which reflects them back to Earth. By measuring the time consumed for the roundtrip, scientists can determine Earth-Moon distances, and also distances between points on Earth, with unprecedented precision. By timing the roundtrip time for the laser pulse to reach the LRRR and return, observatories on Earth can calculate the exactdistance from the observatory to the LRRR location on the Moon within a tolerance of 15 cm. A similiar LRRR was deployed at Tranquility Scientific Experiments Package QEASEP1. The goal is to set up LRRR's at three lunar locations to establish abso- lute control points in the study of Moon motion. The LRRR will additionally be used in the study of fluctuations in the Earth's rotation rate, wobbling motions of the Earth on its axis, the Moon's size and orbital shape, and the possibility of a slow decrease in the gravitational constant G , Dr. james Faller of Wesleyan University is the LRRR Principal Investigator. .-111' 3. lj ll l .

E gli, I 4 r Ml 0 :U A 11 Captain Edgar 1. Boudinot lr., USN The USS New Orleans was desig- nated as the primary recovery ship for Apollo 14 in early September 1970. The ship immediately commenced preparing for the mission. ln October, New Orleans went to sea for prelimi- nary tests with a boilerplate mock-up of the command module and a special aircraft crane that might be used as a backup for recovering the command module. The first conference between the New Orleans, Commander Task Force 130, and NASA personnel was held on board the USS New Orleans in November. During this period of preparation until December 15th, Captain Edgar j. Boudinot lr. was Commanding Officer of the ship. Captain Boudinot was born in Turlock, California and entered the Navy in 1942. He ,received his com- mission as an Ensign in the United States Navy and was designated a Naval Aviator in November 1943. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and three Air Medals for combat action during World War ll. In addition, he earned his second Distin- guished Flying Cross and two Air Medals, while flying combat missions in Korea. Captain Boudinot received his Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Maryland in September 1960 and received his Master of Science Degree in 1965 at George Washington University. ln September 1965, Captain Boudinot became Commanding Officer of the USS Bexar KAPA-2371 where he served until ordered to the aviation department of the Fleet Training Group in San Diego, CA. Captain Boudinot assumed com- mand of the USS New Orleans CLPH-111 on December 18,1969. The change of command of New Orleans was just one short year later in December 1970. New orders for Captain Boudinot read: Staff of Commander-in-Chief United States Naval Forces, Europe, located in London. USS New Orleans' new Com- manding Officer was Captain Robert E. Moore, iopposite pagel who had just finished serving as Commanding Officer of the USS Duluth QLPD-6l. Captain Moore assumed command of New Orleans on December 15, 1970. Captain Robert E. Moore was com- missioned Ensign on April 1, 1945 in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was then assigned to Fighter Squadron NINETY-EIGHT, followed next- by Night Development Squadron Pacific. Subsequent tours in squadron in- cluded Fighter Squadrons 151, 94 and 111 as Executive Officer and later as Commanding Officer. Captain Moore served as Com- mander, Attack Carrier Air Wingl l, from November 1964 to December 1965 and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal and Purple Heart. He attended the University of Southern California in 1947, General Line School in 1950, Naval Post- graduate School in 1952-53, Empire Test Pilot School in 1955 and the Naval War College in 1964. He holds a Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Engineering and a Masters Degree in International Relations. Captain Robert E. Moore ' I .,.mSf1 ix. , ,. M ,wal 1 gi 4 253: W k ,.g - ' HH f 1 , ' iz!

While still in San Diego, CBS Broadcasting Company loaded their video tape van and a trailer they would use as their office during the cruise. Loaded aboard was the support package for the embarked helicopter squadron HS-6. This comprised over 7,000 items, valued in excess of two million dollars, required to support a helicopter squadron for an Apollo mission. In late December the tempo of operation began to pick up. Other organizations involved in the recovery of Apollo l4 began to load their equipment. lim O'Connor loaded his van, containing gear of the Mutual Broadcasting System, just forward of the island area on the ship. Besides his IVIBS job of broadcasting radio coverage, providing backup audio coverage of the Apollo l4 recovery, and sendingawirephotos for the APXUPI still picture pool, he also made phone patches to mainland points for personnel on board ship via HAM radio stations.

I I I 4 PEARL HAR The funny-looking silver trailer which was seen on television the day of Apollo l4's splashdown, was what :NASA calls the Mobile Quarantine Facility, abbreviated simply IVIQF. Its name explains its use. Basically, the overall purpose of the MQF was to provide an isolated, yet comfortable, atmosphere for the astronauts to live in while on board New Orleans. Living accommodations inside the Mobile Quarantine Facility were arranged much like a plush camping trailer. It was equipped with bunk beds, chairs, table, cupboards, a small kitchen and restroom. There was also an exer- cise bike inside, which was used for medical experiments, and other devices used to ex- amine the astronauts' health. When the astronauts were safely inside the MQF, the command module was maneuvered up to the semi-transparent tunnel attached to the side of the facility. This enabled an air- tight seal to be formed between the command module and the MQF, in order that the lVloon rocks and other Moon contaminated objects could be transferred without fear of exposure and possible contamination of the Earth's environment. THE BUBBLE Thanks to Western Union International, 500 million people around the world were able to view, live and in color, tae Apollo l4 splashdown and astronaut recovery. A Developed by General, Electric, the entire unit, transmitterland all, weighs a mere 41 thousand pounds and is fully portable. Used to cover the last seven Apollo recoveries, the unit is capable of live television transmission from 94 per cent of the Earth's surface. The capabilities of the unit are as unbeliev- able as its technical aspects. On splashdown day, the television signal from the New Orleans was transmitted 22,300 miles to lntelsat lll-F4 hovering in orbit above the Pacific Ocean. From the satellite, the signal was- transmitted to lamesburg, California, from there to NASA, in Houston, and then to New York where the signal was distributed across the nation. There was only a quarter- second delay from the time the 'signal left New Orleans until it appeared on TV screens across the nation. The signal was also fed from New York to Etam, West Virginia where the signal was shot-up to two Atlantic satel- lites. Correspondingly, the United Kingdom, Europe, Latin America, parts of Africa and the Near East were able to view the Apollo recovery. In order for the Pacific area llapan, Australia, Hawaii and othersl to view the recovery, the signal was also fed from New York, back to California and again up to the Pacific satellite. -eeeee new Bok, HAWAII Transmitter and other units of Western Union lnternational's Bubble and NASA's satellite tracking equipment after loading at Pearl Harbor. . alaaa a 4 K , ,w,,.-.,.v,., - ' 4.

Prior to the actual splashdown, New Orleans con- ducted many pre-recovery SlMEXes or practices on the way to the recovery site after leaving the Pearl Harbor Naval Base on lanuar 18th y . The exercises were geared with the actual Apollo pick- up in mind. This was a period when the pilots and crewmen from NAS Imperial Beach based Helicopter S d - ' qua ron Six and New Orleans crew had dress re- hearsals in order to be completely ready for the big day February 9th, A boilerplate mock-up of a command module was utilized. Additionally, a point of splashdown was simulated and all forces necessary for the actual pick-up .were employed as if it were the real thing. Even the CBS-TV and radio pool crews rehearsed their opera- tions through the SlMEXes and developed what has been called the most impressive coverage ever on a recovery . The new techniques included using a television camera in a helicopter as well as using a gyro-mount on shipboard cameras to eliminate some of the roll previously noted on other missions. Playing the part of the astronauts in each of the practices were members of UDT-ll, the team of swim- mers that attached the flotation collar around the capsule on splashdown and opened the hatch for the astronauts to exit the capsule These men were b i . . rought on board ship, quarantined and ive VIP ' g n receptions many times during the course of the SlMEXes. and hoisted by the special aircraft crane -' ' . -X .N 'PT 'e -as e Y A K - X-fs. -W 'e'--K-9 A A ..4,..

Olson and his trustee aide Chaplain Cecil B. Threadgill performed their duties. Tradition has been honored since the days of the Phoenicians, that when a ship crosses the equator, honors must be rendered unto King Neptune. New Orleans was no exception. The afternoon of january 26th was re- served for Polliwog watch standing. For you must know that any craft who'd fain Cross the Great Sea Lord's Royal Domain, Must pay the tribute that King Neptune wishes And be received by mermaids, bears, and fishesi We will see you on the morn, And any who resists will wish he had not been born. iFrom the Crossing the Line ritual of the British Navyl The Crossing the Line ceremonies are of such ancient vintage that no one really knows when or where they were derived. Such cere- monies took place as far back as the Middle Ages, and even before that when ships crossed the thirteenth parallel or passed through the Straits of Gibralter. These ceremonies were extremely rough and were supposed to test the novice crewmen, or boots, to see if they could endure the hardships of a life at sea. The Vikings reportedly practiced similar ceremonies upon the crossing of certain paral- lels. Consequently, many historians believe that the present day. ceremony was passed on from the Vikings to the Angles, Saxons and Normans, continuing to our present time. -Q.,-,,..,,, tum... On the evening of the 26th, Davey jones and the royal headsman appear to present Captain Nloore with his orders for the following day and to inform the crew and the senior polliwogs that King Neptune will make his appearance the following morning. The Royal Sheriff insures that King Neptune's orders are carried out. The morning of the 27th dawns with an eerie silence. lt was a bright sunny day in the South Pacific. lt started out a bit unusual, with reveille being held at 5 a.m. instead of the regular time of 6 a.m. The date: january 27, l97l. The event: the crossing of the Equator. Instead of the regular way of holding reveille, the shellbacks held it, going around to all of the compart- ments and staterooms yelling at the top of their lungs, Wake up you slimy polliwogs and prepare to meet your Maker. Breakfast is now being served. GET UP y You SLIMYI mtuwoeef ff' Xx T 'XXX 'XX For breakfast, there was the usual menu, unseasoned beans and the most hideous tasting coffee the shellbacks could brew. lt seemed as though they chose a person that has never made coffee before in his life. lt tasted like dish water fwhich it probably was.l For the ceremony, all of the polliwogs had to wear dungarees worn backwards. Tee-shirts, socks and shoes were optional. Many of the polliwogs elected not to wear shoes, and either wore tennis shoes, shower shoes, or went in their stocking feet.

A few minutes later King Neptune and his royal court were piped aboard. The Captain of USS New Orleans was summoned before the royal court, and a simulated turn-over of the ship to the Royal Navigator occurred. The Captain, the senior shellback on board, was then a part-time spectator at the ceremony. The actual ceremony started at about 10:30 when the first divisions were summoned to climb three flights of stairs to the flight deck and prepare to meet the Raging Main. ,fr i King Neptune's queen sits among members of the Royal Court.

The shellbacks labor resulted in colorful, artistic costumes and functional, innovative staging. With subpoenas in hand on the day of the ceremony the lowly polliwogs made their way from the hangar deck to the flight deck where a cordon of hardy shellbacks eagerly awaited. The polliwogs began the initiation on all fours and proceeded to run the line of fearsome paddlers. King Neptune in full regalia, attended by his Royal Court, waited on his throne at the end of the line to hear the charges and pronounce judgment. The standard punishment was the Uopportunityi' to pay respect to the Royal Baby. The Royal Babies had their bellies smeared thick with axle and baking grease. All polliwogs were enticed to plant a big kiss on the Royal Baby's belly. Though whether they did or not, all polliwogs emerged with grease covered countenance. The Royal Dentist encouraged all polliwogs to sample his special tobasco sauce mouthwash and the Royal Doctor likewise prescribed a specially unsavory medicine for all polliwog ailments. Further down the line the shellbacks had constructed an ice filled coffin and a pillory for unruly polliwogs.

' 'i ' 'M APCDLLO 14 BAR-B'Q ire y,5 l 'Xl I The barbeque held on the flight deck provided a welcome break between , r SllVlEXes and was one of the highlights of the cruise NEWT i X ' PICAYU E By Bill Coulter of The Houston Post Aboard this prime recovery ship a happy crew enjoyed a Cajun style barbeque Sunday. A sight on the flight deck was crew members and officers wolfing down huge amounts of steaks, ham- burgers, hotdogs and all the trimmings. The barbeque which had been planned days before, was made happier by the successful liftoff of astronauts Alan Shepard, Ed Mitchell and Stuart Roosa. The New Orleans, third ship to bear the name of that Southern city, slowed to a crawl as crewmen went through the mess line on the flight deck and bathed in the sun. A Earlier the ship had moved into position where she could recover the astronauts should they abort their mission. When the astronauts lifted off at ll:O3 AM, ship's time, the crewmen aboard New Orleans had been silent. There was no rousing cheer, but many kept their fingers crossed as an added boost. The ship will steam north back toward Samoa, crossing possible abort points along the way. On Saturday she will pick up some dignitaries and then race south again to be in the scheduled splashdown area February 9th, , i , f I I I U REP l, After topping off New Orleans in fuel oil and providing her with fresh provisions, Ponchatoula pulls away to a predesignated northwest sector of the splashdown area in order to be in position to pick up the astronauts in the event of an error in their re-entry. Though the New Grleans had enough fuel and food to last severalmonths nothing could be left to chance. So, on February 7th, two days before astro- nauts Shepard, Roosa and Mitchell were due to splash down, New Orleans rendezvoused with another member of the Pacific Recovery Force, USS Poncha- toula lAO-l48l for an underway replenishment. Ponchatoula was commissioned on january l2, 1956 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. As with all Navy oilers, she is named after a river, the Ponchatoula River, which flows through Tongipahoa Parish in Louisiana. During a i966-i967 deployment to the Western Pacific, Ponchatoula seta new Pacific Fleet record by bringing 503 ships alongside, and refueling 464. During the following cruise, which ended in june 1968, she established another record, when she pumped over 74 million gallons of petroleum products to customer ships during the deployment.

Walker, of Newark, Ohio, boarded the amphibious assault ship New Orleans in San Diego a few days prior to setting sail for the Apollo 14 recovery. Helicopter, Squadron-Six QHS-61 is one of five squadrons composing Carrier Anti-Submarine Air Group 53. Their primary mission is to seek out and destroy enemy submarines. To accomplish this, the squadron utilizes the Navy's first all weather helicopter-the SH-3A Sea King. The squadron is composed of 26 officers and 136 men, and in june 1956, was commissioned aboard the support carrier Princeton, while at sea midway between Formosa and Okinawa. While on a deployment in 1966 the HS-6 crews rescued more than 16 downed pilots, for which the squadron received the Presidential Unit Cita- tion. The squadron is by no means a newcomer to the space recovery program. This squadron was a part of the recovery ,team that picked up Walter M. Shirra in October 1962, and again in lVlay 1963, it recovered astronaut Gordon Cooper after his 22 orbits in Faith 7. The most recent achievement by HS-6 was the rescue service they pro- vided after the collision of the Australian carrier Melbourne and the American destroyer Evans. They were awarded the 7th Fleet Commendation for their action. The squadron's primary mission during the Apollo 14 mission was to move into position after splashdown and drop three members of UDT Team 11 into the water to attach the flotation collar to the space capsule. After the flotation collar was attacked and the three astronauts emerged from the capsuIe,the prime recovery helo moved into position and prepared to lift them from the water. The helo was piloted by Commander William E. Walker, the Commanding Officer of HS-6. aa. .,.m..,w.c aw M. . . .,, H ,- i a i 1 E i , . z z l i 1 . 5 5 1 5 l il 1 1 2 1 4 l L s z . . 3 5 l Z i l is i x 1 1 ,.r,.'. ,sf WF!

' ' ' as A l l PULLU l After three mid-course corrections, one each day during the final three days in space, the command module, Kitty Hawk, entered the Earth's atmosphere at 936, 170 feet per second in the South Central Pacific Ocean across the International Dateline. At exactly ll:00 three chutes blossomed in the pale denim skies five miles ahead of the ship. The command module, reflecting the bright sunshine like a mirror, swung back and forth under the peppermint stick canopies to within 900 yards of the designated splashdown point. y Splashdown was recorded at ll:05 a.m. Hawaiian Standard Time C4204 p.m. ESUTJ February 9, l97l, at a position 27 degrees, zero minutes south latitude, 172 degrees, 39.5 minutes west longitude, approximately 880 miles south of American Samoa. 14: TIME 1 Once splashdown occurred, four of the helicopters converged on the area of the floating command module. The fifth, known as Relay , assumed a position to serve as communications link for the other four and the PRS. The first helicopter above the command module reported condition of the spacecraft and recommended approaches for the other helicopters. The designated Primary Swim helo then passed over the command module, dropping one swimmer and a Sea Anchor during the first pass. The two other swimmers, including flotation collar and inflatable life rafts,were dropped in succeeding passes. Once the swim team and all flotation equipment were in the water, the Swim helo assumed a nearby hover clear of the other helicopters. These divers from the Navy Underwater Demolition Team ELEVEN were the first persons to see the Apollo l4 astronauts on the day of the recovery. The first responsibility of the divers during the recovery operation was to attach the sea anchor to the capsule. The purpose of this sea anchor was to retard the drift of the shallow draft capsule bobbing around in the ocean. The next job required the fastening of a 250-pound flotation collar to the capsule. After this task had been accomplished and the two rafts fwhich UDT-ll named Lily Pad and Toad Stooll were inflated, a decontamination swimmer jumped from a helicopter into the water. ka ll w QI A T Il '1 W I I V , Y I 1 4 1 r i 1 ,Y 1,1 .f -v-.- Am5.f-nf1 , f -ffflf 'f-- -- fff- f f ffL4-m,f,fw0W,7f..,f.7f uw ,, , ,W 5 ff. , ,f f.,f Q H -f , f f,.- V ,.,, f .',, 1 f,,ff--f f V- f wmv-mf--f..

It was the job of this fourth swimmer to open the hatch of the command module, pass respirators to the astronauts and help them out of their spacecraft and into the Apollo recovery raft. After the astronauts had donned their filter masks and changed into overalls, the decon- tamination swimmer helped them out of the capsule and into the recovery raft. Once the three astronauts were safely in the raft, the hatch area of the module was closed and then both it and the top of the spacecraft were thoroughly decon- taminated. Next, each of the astronauts was individually assisted by the swimmer into the Billy Pugh recovery net, which hoisted them into the Recovery helo. The astronauts, wearing the respirators as a quarantine precaution, were then flown back to the New Orleans and walked from the helo into a Mobile Quarantine Facility on the hanger deck. At all times during the recovery opera- tion the divers wore full diving suits and scuba gear to prevent possible contamina- tion and exposure to caustic fuels remaining in the module. l i l i i ' l l L51-1 ' 'FTT fi TE i r 1 1 The decontamination swimmer from UDT-ll signals helicopter personnel to hoist Apollo 14 Command Module Pilot Stuart A.

One of the most vital of these is the field of medicine. NASA's team -of medical doctors are responsi- ble for the assurance of health and physical safety before and during space flight, as well as resulting medical research after the space journey. Weeks before blastoff, the astronauts were given thorough physical examinations at regular intervals. The purpose of these examinations was to determine each crew members, physical status and to detect any medical problems which might necessitate treatment or even cancellation of the flight itself. Even before the preflight period, a complete evaluation of the life support system was required. These systems were individually designed for each of the astronauts in accordance with 'their particular physiological character- istics. Such things as comfort and adaptability were analyzed and corrected, in addition to the analysis of their functions and design. During the actual flight period, the astronauts were required to log various activities for later medical evaluation. For example, if any type of medication was used by an astronaut, it was recorded. Also, feces and urine samples were stored for later analysis. Problems with sleep were recorded. Even data on the amounts and varieties of food consumed was recorded, as well as the functional integrity of the feeding devices. After the astronauts safely returned to Earth, they were immediately placed in quarantine for a period of about two weeks. In space, radioactivity is at a much higher level than is found on Earth due to the absence of a shielding magnetosphere. Thus, radioactive exposure in space could be harmful in certain cases and the astronauts were thoroughly examined for any affects this exposure might have had on them. During their space flight, the astronauts breathed pure oxygen instead of the normal air breathed on Earth. Here again, the possibility of side effects were examined. Finally, the astronauts were examined for any irregu- larities due to Moon contamination. Once on deck, the recovery helicopter, still sealed, is moved to the number one elevator. From there it is lowered to the hangar bay area where crew and dignitaries await to welcome the astronauts. san mag leo T' l l 5 3 E 5 z , z 5 One of the NASA doctors on board observes the quarantine precautions and sprays the stairs and other areas where the astronauts have walked with a special disinfectant.

The spaghetti or wiring ofthe command module is clearly seen from this over- head shot. FILM FUR USTO The balloon, which will mark 'the film canister cable for the HC-130 Hercules aircraft, is inflated. Mission Control in Houston needed the space film taken by the astronauts for examination, processing and verification of several theories postulated before the astronauts left on their lunar mission. The lunar samples acquired on the Moon were also required by Mission Control for complete analysis. The helicopters aboard the New Orleans did not have the long range capability to reach land from the recovery area south of American Samoa. Furthermore, Mission Control did not want to wait the several days it would take the ship to get to port before the film and samples could be flown out. The method of pickup used to procure the film and samples was, therefore, the STAR method of recovery. STAR is an Air Force recovery method, whereby a person or materials can be lifted from a stationary or semi-stationary plat- form by along range capability aircraft, which cannot land in the area to permit another type of recovery. ln this case, the film and lunar sample canister was snatched aloft by a HC-130 Hercules aircraft and flown directly to Houston. The HC-130 Rescue Hercules is designed to find, then rescue or recover, personnel and space hardware . With its auxiliary internal fuel tanks the aircraft has a range of over 6,000 miles and the capability to remain aloft in excess of 20 hours. The aircraft is fitted with a special fork-like object on its nose, which has the ability to be folded back. When this fork is extended forward it becomes the prime instrument of the Surface-to-Air recovery system lSTARl. For Apollo recovery, the HC-130 is usually crewed by two pilots, one navigator, one radio operator, two flight engineers, a team of three pararescuemen, two loadmasters and an airborne photographer. Additionally, a NASA representative is normally em Jarked for Apollo missions. In preparation for the Apollo 14 film recovery, a line was attached between a balloon and the canister. The balloon was then allowed to rise several hundred feet into the air at the end of the line. The rescue aircraft, guided by the balloon's position, trapped the line between the extended forks on the nose of the plane. Nothing says success better. . . Once the line was secured by the forks, the bal- loon was released and the package at the end of the line was retrieved. This operation allowed direct U.S. Air Force participation in the recovery mission. With canister in tow, the aircraft turns for Houston.

The Public Affairs section of the department coordinated the photographic and press news coverage. The Press Center was used by the several Navy, NASA, CBS, MBS, UPI, AP and other press and photographic teams, which were embarked. This publication, the Moon Book , is also a product of the Executive Depart- ment under the supervision of the Public Affairs Officer. USS New Orleans also published the ship's newspaper entitled, The Picayune and the family-grams entitled Captain's Log which were sent to our many friends and loved ones keeping them informed of our progress and activities during the mission. Another very large task for the Personnel Section of the Executive Department was the job of insuring that adequate personnel resources were made available to all other departments in support of the mission. This task entailed many man hours of arranging for extra personnel on a temporary basis being ordered on board for the mission. The Crossing the Line souvenir booklet and the Operation Order for the actual ceremonies and visit of Neptunus Rex was another example of the department's work. After the cere- monies, each member on board plus the various visitors received an appropriate certificate, card and booklet commemorating their experi- T ence during the equator crossing ceremonies. The Post Office section of this department was the working force for the project of cancelling and cacheting approximately 55,000 first day covers which had been re- ceived from all over the world. This entailed many extra hours of work in addition to the outstanding job done in getting normal mail aboard for the crew. .5 fn Wm ':'fZz,' V, f, V-Y' f' W ' ' .a , M .Zf ,, - gf 7 X 57 f f.,t., ,,., . 4 ..... s , D xii- of ,dj V ft ' 1 , T W- fi f, 7, 7 V. ...fy lf V , V ' ' P , ,'EV i ,..,'- I. ,s 15, , Wir, V . vga , ,. ,V El f !!

The Navigation department was assigned the task of locating the splashdown position deep in the South Pacific,Ocean. Our course from Hawaii followed a series of mission abort points ending up south of the island of Somoa five miles from the predicted splashdown location. By utilizing a computer age satellite navigation system and the time honored mariner's sextant, the New Orleans was in position to view re-entry and splashdown of Apollo 14. A Aspecial bridge team was appointed with Navi- gation Department personnel manning ship control stations. QM3 Bill Connolly was assigned to the helm, and QM3 Harold Stinson to the EOT. After Steering, the ship's backup steering sys- tem, was assigned to QM3 jeff Smith. QM2 Bobby Valdez was on the alidade taking bearings during the ship's approach for final recovery. QM2 Duane Blahak coordinated the information to the Navigator on the jW sound powered phone circuit. The Navigator LCDR W. 1. Stangle moved from station to station overseeing the efficiency of the operation. 'Will ,a X f '.' I 0-f for MW 4, X' WK! W? f fvs... ' ff-' A Q -fi WZ? .ff I ..- V. fls. Xi!!! I X ?

Prior to splash- down, operations personnel underwent intensive training in plotting methods, reporting procedures and precise electronic navigation. Throughout the recovery mission operations personnel composed and transmitted weather and position reports on a day and night basis. On splashdown day the many rehearsals enabled the Apollo I4 piloting team to locate the command module immediately after blackout and maneuver the ship to within a few yards of the command module, completely independent of visual aids.

Lattie CDMMUNICATIDNS DEPARTMENT Communications Department had the responsibility for providing all communications with Houston Control Center and the Hawaiian Control Center during the Apollo 14 recovery. ln addition to normal teletype and voice radio circuits for a ship at sea, Communications Department had special teletype and voice radio connections to Hawaii with CTF 130, the Recovery Force Commander, and also coordi- nated the satellite communications that enabled people to see the recovery live on television. Facilities were also provided to Navy-Marine NIARS, who completed over 1,100 radio tele- phone connections for the crew with rela- tives and friends inthe United States. Most of these telephone calls were made at a distance of about 5,000 miles from San Diego. In order to successfully fulfill the many obligations required for an Apollo Recovery, Communica- tions Department received thirty-three men from other ships in the Pacific Amphibi- ous Force. The extensive knowledge possessed by these men and by ship's personnel enabled Com- munications Department to have a 10045 relia- bility on Recovery Day, thereby pro- viding outstanding radio telephone service to Hous- ton and Hawaii, and television -- service to the U n i te d States l l l 09 nlllll' slim' .lllll L EN ' 375' -J V ' V Q ?5ffP'll!QQ A..f'f 1 fV A 1 f Z Z 4. .,., 5, s L:-3 f'-' ' , WWW 4 in 6 X..,,mz yy , ., .971 y , 1 ir I mimic xr 4 , X N, A ff gf , LT C.W.

CSXXSTT-Akwicyg Onbhbgfb While millions around the world watched the Apollo 14 Recovery as it happened, one group of New Orleans sailors had to wait several days to watch the filmed highlights on television. These were the members of New Orleans' Main Propulsion Group. From far below decks they not only propelled the ship through the water, but provided auxiliary steam for the ships laundry and galleys, powered the two turbo-generators which supply electricity to the ship, and produced 100,000 gallons of fresh water daily. The remaining three divisions of the Engineering Department act as service organizations for the rest of the ship. During the Apollo Mission the ship's Electricians were kept busy running nearly a mile of cable for the special television and communication facilities required for the mission. Auxiliaries Division provided innumer- able services from air conditioning and compressed air to the manufacture of special fittings for oxygen bottles. The ship's carpenters and metalsmiths were often called on to build stages and fabricate stands to mount the special equipment required for the mission. ln addition, R Division supplied the leadership and backbone for the ship's fire party which stood by ready to meet any emergency while the lunar command module was being hoisted aboard. vffwsf- f 1 l i5 W f 'Q I, ' M., , yn . .I . , f .4 W' - I , My A ' Mani I , , 1 4 I 4 ff. .
