CDR-EVA: Pick the rock up while you're there. It's right at your hand.
CDR-EVA: ... h_er somewhere.
LMP-EVA: Okay. And 5B8 is another sample of that material - a little dustier.
LMP-EVA: That's the blue-gray - that's the blue-gray Bob, with the inclusions in it. Now the blue-gray, the more you looked at it, it looks like a - -
CDR-EVA: Give me your left - your right hand.
CDR-EVA: Give me your right hand. Turn it over. Turn it over. Turn it over.
LMP-EVA: It - the blue-gray rock, on closer e×sm_nation, looks llke a partially recrystallized fragment breccia. It's very hard.
CDR-EVA: I got a few closeup stereos of the inclusion that we tried to sample, and I'm going to see if I can't give you a little ... stereo around th_s thing - if I can stay on my feet.
CDR-EVA: Do you read me, Jack, okay?
CC: Yes, Houston reads you loud and clear, also.
CDR-EVA: Are you saying you think this whole bit - You think this whole big blue-gray thing is an inclusion?
LMP-EVA: Yes, sir. And there's some little ones over here.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, but then within the blue-gray, we've got all these other fragment.
LMP-EVA: Well, that's right. It's Just several generations of activity; and it looks like the gabbor though, picked up the fragmental breccia as inclusion. Bob, I'd - it really looks that way right now. There's a - -
CC: Okay, Charlie is here mumbling something about it looking Just like house rock [?]. a breccia - not like house rock [?]. Not to take anything away from house rock [?], though.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Bob, there's a lot of mantling on a very shallow slope of a fracture here on one of the upslope rocks. I would assume it's just part of the ... picked up as its rolled down. But if it's worth sampling, you might think about it.
CC: Okay, Gene, if you can get that fairly readily, why don't you - You can perhaps Just scoop it up with the bag.
CDR-EVA: That's exactly what I can do.
CC: If you can get up to the rock there.
CDR-EVA: And it will be in my - It will be in my flight and line stereo, it's going to be bag 557. And an I'11 take after and show you where it came from.
CDR-EVA: This is the easist part of the rock in the world to work. Man, here's a big - here's a big white clast. There's one on top about a foot and a half across, and here's one - must be 2 feet across - 3 feet. And that's in the blue-gray.
CDR-EVA: Feel like a kid playing in a sandbox.
LMP-EVA: Well, Bob, I think I've done the best I can. I would - I'd say that they're pretty clearly in- clusions of blue-gray in the anorthositic gabbro here near the contact.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I gave you 557, I believe. Didn't I?
CC: Roger. We have that one. And whoever is giving us 557 - -
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'11 have Jack fix by bag.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Bob, by accident - I didn't think I could And do it but I got a sample of the inclusion. it's in bag 539.
CDR-EVA: Yes, because I didn't - -
LMP-EVA: And it's blue-graywith light colored - -
LMP-EVA: But the whole thing seems to be pretty well altered, or metamorphosed -compared to the major rock we sampled - to the other blue-gray rock.
LMP-EVA: This bag is terrible. I can't - it won't latch.
LMP-EVA: ' Don't let me - I'm not -
CDR-EVA: Here's another bag to put in there before you go.
LMP-EVA: Oh, okay. It won't latch.
LMP-EVA: Not at this angle.
CDR-EVA: Put the thumb on one side, and I'11 - -
LMP-EVA: It's dead or something. There, that's pretty good.
CDR-EVA: Now let me fix your bag.
CC: And, l? - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, Bob, I think that inclusion will give you an example of what this thing - what the anortho- sitic gabbro did to the blue-gray breccia.
CC: Okay. We copy that. And we're ready for you guys to leave this rock and press on and either get the rake soil and cores near that crater down below the rock just a shade, or else go on to some other different variety rocks in the area.
LMP-EVA: Well, I tell you, going down to that crater i_; not a problem. Getting back up is.
CC: Okay, well, find a decent area to get the rake soil from a couple of cores.
LMP-EVA: Tell you what, Gene, I could go down there and start a rake, and you could come down there.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I - Yes, I don't think you ought to try and w-lk back up, Jack. Let me get a pan from right here where I got this sample.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm going to come over and - I'11 go get the rake and get the - -
CC: 17, it's not that vital to get to that crater. We Just need a good place for a rake soil and a double - a single core.
LMP-EVA: Get uphill a little bit, if you can, for the pan, so that you don't - so you see my other pan station.
CDR-EVA: Where was it?
LMP-EVA: It was over there in that crater, Just uphill from the Rover.
CDR-EVA: I'm going up there.
CC: Hey, and, 17, we aren't all that gung ho about that particular crater, if it's that much of a Job to get down to it and back up. Just - we Just need a decent place for a rake soil sample and a single core.
CC: Yes. We agree with that, from what we see on the television. So use your Judgement, and get them where it's the best place
CDR-EVA: Well, you might take a look at me walking up. But I don't think I can get to the top. I Just got to Right in this little hole. Okay, now I left the gnomon down there.
CDR-EVA: Hope my lens is clean. Bob, from up here, the light mantle is not evident until you see the anglular reflection up on the scarp. Very thin- like patchesj might be evident out on the valley, but not nearly as pronounced as I might have thought from this altitude.
CDR-EVA: Oh, and there's Challenger. Holy ._moley. You know, Jack, when we finish with station 8, we will have covered this whole valley from corner to corner.
LMP-EVA: That was the idea.
CDR-EVA: Yes, but I didn't think we'd ever really quite get to that far corner. Not 2, but this other one. And we' re going to make it.
LMP-EVA: Bob, that blue-gray rock near the contact with the anorthositic gabbro does get some vesicles in it. I think they'11 show up in Gene's pictures.
CC: Okay. We have that too, Jack.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I Just ran out of film at 160. And I'm about two pictures short of the pan, and they're upslope. I think I can cover most of that with the 500.
CC: Okay, Gene. You going to go to the Rover and change your mags now?
CDR-EVA: Well, Jack's going to need some help from me.
CC: Okay. Let me know when - -
LMP-EVA: I'm starting to rake.
CC: Let me know when you get to the Rover to change the mags after you get done with that, and I'11 tell you what mag to change.
CDR-EVA: Jack, if you got - -
CC: But press on and help Jack with those first.
CDR-EVA: Jack, if you got enough film, I'11 Just come and help you.
CDR-EVA: Remind me to dust my camera, too, will you?
LMP-EVA: Don't forget to dust your camera.
CC: Okay. We'11 keep track of that for you, Gene.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Did you get any before pictures?
LMP-EVA: I 'm getting them now.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) It ain't easy, McGee.
CDR-EVA: Man, I tell you, these slopes are great. I wouldn't mind being up on top coming down; but - hey, that boulder track is quite a trench.
CDR-EVA: That thing must be a meter or 2 deep, huh?
LMP-EVA: Okay; the big rake. Well, I think I'11 try - -
CDR-EVA: Wouldn't it be easier to rake downhill.
LMP-EVA: Right? z
LMP-EVA: It 's a thought.
CDR-EVA: Make sure you get that one by the - -
LMP-EVA: Yes, I will.
LMP-EVA: We're not really supposed to be selective about raking.
CDR-EVA: Well, you're not; you're Just covering the area.
CDR-EVA: A selective sample is better than no sample at all. Let me put some in there. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Bag 558.
CC: Copy 558.
CDR-EVA: Bob, most of them are - -
LMP-EVA: Let me go another couple of flights [? ].
CDR-EVA: Okay. There's one a couple of inches. Most of them are an inch or so or smaller. They're angular to subrounded fragments. Some of them look like the inclusions. As a matter of fact, the ones that are broken open look like some of the light-colored inclusions we saw in the big boulder. The others are too dust covered to say anything about.
LMP-EVA: A couple of them look fairly coarsely crystalline. Okay. Put these in there.
CDR-EVA: Big deal. Now we ended up with three more.
LMP-EVA: Let me get an after, such as it is. Oh, we want the - -
CDR-EVA: They want the soil here.
LMP-EVA: Soil - that 's right.
LMP-EVA: Okay. You want to put that in?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'd better put it in before I - Okay. Let's try for the soil. 559's the soil.
CC: Okay. Copy that. And, 17, our present plans from the back room are that we'd like to get the single core, the 500 millimeter shots - and, I guess, maybe one could do one, and one could do the other - and then we'd like to press on and do a short station 7, unless you think you have _ got a fair variety of rocks here. The feeling _ is to do that ... variety of rocks.
CDR-EVA: Little more, little more, little more.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob. I'11 get the core and let Jack get the 500. 559 is the kilogram of soil. I think we've pretty much covered the general variety we've seen here. I think we've seen most of them . in that boulder. _
CC: Okay. And so we'd like to go on to station 7, · then, when you get the 500 and the core, in hopes i of finding a variation of boulders along the front. _
CDR-EVA: Okay. Let me know when you get it. Okay. The after. Okay, why don't you get the 500, and I'11 _ get the core. i
LMP-EVA: And the LMP's on 120. And,
CC: Copy 120 there. Gene, if you want to change, we recommended magazine Foxtrot or Fran, as the ease may be.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Will try Foxtrot - Franny. Dont' forget to get that boulder track.
CC: ... And while you're at it, Gene, you might remember to ... when you're leaning over the seat.
LMP-EVA: Hey, Bob, I think we could use an upper here if you want to save the lowers.
CDR-EVA: I think so, too.
CDR-EVA: No, I'11 get it. Why don't you get your 500, s_ld I'11 - -
LMP-EVA: Well there's some under my feet if you want to use those.
CC: Stand by, Jack. We have three lowers and two uppers, so we'd Just as soon use the extra lower here in the single core. That'11 give us two uppers and two lowers left - -
CC: - - for doubles.
CDR-EVA: Yes, Bob, any special place you want that? Just out here on the slope?
LMP-EVA: Should heve put the gnomon up. Well -
CC: Just out there on the slope. I guess if you saw a crater ... you might look at that, but primarily we're looking at the crater.
CDR-EVA: I'11 get it. I'11 get it, Jack. Don't worry. Okay. We have a couple of dents in our fen - in our wheels. That's better than having a flat tire.
CDR-EVA: Did he say in a crater?
LMP-EVA: I'm not sure what he said. Thinking - How do I get this doggone -
CDR-EVA: ... to come off?
LMP-EVA: You got to unlock it.
CDR-EVA: Yes, it is unlocked.
LMP-EVA: How am I going to see up there to shoot this thing?
CDR-EVA: Well, why don't you lean against the rock? Go over there and lean against it.
LMP-EVA: Well, I have to do something. I was trying to get so I could lean against the Rover, but that ain't going to work.
CDR-EVA: The Rover isn't steady enough for you to lean against.
LMP-EVA: Well, it's steady enough. There's Just no place to lean.
CC: Okay. And, Jack, and if you'11 listen for a minute, I'11 tell you some possible 500-millimeter targets the people have in mind. One, the LM, if you can see it from there. Two, Nansen, if you can see it from there. Three, Lara; and four s Shorty. _n other words, I guess they're talking about looking along your traverse from yesterday. It would be mostly the back shots, apparently. And then, also, the South Massif, and I don't know what you can get of boulder tracks leading up the North Massif. And most of those will be looking downhill towards the LM, stations 2, B, and 4. Over. Nansen, Lara, and Shorty.
UNKNOWN: Okay. I got a set of the - the - what looks like the outcrop from which the boulder came.
LMP-EVA: I'm afraid they're moved a little bit. Oh, I can't - That's it. I got a few pictures looking up the boulder track and then off to the right - to the left a little bit - and one off to the right. And I think - I'm not sure how well ·they overlap; that's Just an awful hard shot.
CC: Okay; good on that. And if you're done with that, have you got a frsme count - or you're still taking them, I guess, it looks like.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Ny camera is clean. Magazine Foxtrot - is on about framp 2, and I cycled through it. And I've got the core all set, and I'm going to go get it. And I didn't hear where you said to put it, Bob.
CC: Anywhere.
CDR-EVA: Oh, man, you're easy.
CC: And did you get your camera - -
CDR-EVA: Anywhere. Not the bottom of a small crater, huh?
CC: Any place. And did you get your camera dusted?
CDR-EVA: Yes. I got it all dusted and the mag's changed.
CDR-EVA: It's _48.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'11 even get you a picture of it.
CDR-EVA: Oh me. Oh my. 109A/hB Tape
CDR-EVA: Oh me. Oh my. Can you get the LM from there?
CDR-EVA: That core went in very easy, Bob. I pushed it in about a quarter of the way. And about another five or six whacks, and it's in all the way.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Come on out now, baby.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Bob. Shorty, and station 3, and station 2, and what else.
CC: And any sort of outcrop you see in the South Massif.
LMP-EVA: I tho?,ght we shot those.
CC: Okay. If you got those, fine.
LMP-EVA: No, I mean the other day.
LMP-EVA: I'11 try again.
CC: Stereo is stereo is stereo, I guess.
LMP-EVA: Okay, and I got you a little soil me - Well, but it's not stereo; it's right along the same line. Little soil mechanics of the hole, which stayed intact; very nice and round.
CDR-EVA: Yes, sir, we got a couple of dented tires.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Ny hands have had it.
CC: Okay; good enough.
LMP-EVA: You aren't going to get anything else out of me if I keep taking pictures.
CC: And, Gene, what's a dented tire?
CDR-EVA: A dented tire is a little - oh, a little golfball size or sm-ller indentation in the mesh. How does that sound to you? Doesn't hurt anything.
CC: That sounds like a dented tire; that's how it Sounds.
LMP-EVA: Frame 3I, Bob.
CC: Yes, Roger.
CC: And we'd like to get you guys rolling as soon as feasible there.
LMP-EVA: Yes, sir. It's our policy.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'11 need your rammer, so if you'11 Just turn right. f,,11 .
CDR-EVA: I knew it was. Okay. You take this and put this under your seat, if you want, Jack. And I'11 get the TGE. Oh, let me put your shovel back on for you. I '11 get it.
LMP-EVA: Get that?
LMP-EVA: Don't lose that. Boy, if you do -
LMP-EVA: Okay. Did you give them the number?
CC: Roger. We got it. Copy that - under the LMP's seat.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) I'm sneaking up on the TGE.
CDR-EVA: You need some help?
LMP-EVA: No. No, I was - Just sneaking up, that's all.
CDR-EVA: ... let you lean on me.
CDR-EVA: 670, 109, 801; 670, 109, 801.
LMP-EVA: I wish we - the one thing I didn't do. While you're doing that -
LMP-EVA: Didn't get pictures of those foliated vesicles. I don't think the ones you had were in that kind of rock.
CDR-EVA: I don't want to lose that thing, so I guess - -
CC: Okay, 17, when you get back on here, we don't need any charges, and we'11 leave the sets turned off.
LMP-EVA: I'm not sure. Did you turn it off, Gene?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I turned it off. I turned it off. Okay. Let me see. We want to move on to 7 here. Rake, talus, doc_nented core, you got your stereos, we got two pans, TGE, camera. Okay, we're going to head east and look for station 7 - block variation, contact change, and get a different sample of rocks. Okay, I sure want to get one or two of those nice ones in the big bag while you're over there.
LMP-EVA: Open the gate, and I'11 bring one.
CC: - - Seven - Okay. And let me know when you get ready to get back on the Rover there, 17.
CDR-EVA: Guess what isn't opening again. Should, though. It's all set right.
CC: You could put them under Jack's seat if it's easier.
CDR-EVA: Okay. What do you want done to the SEP while I'm here? Do you want the blanket stayed - left open?
CC: Okay, we'd - Negative. We'd like the blankets closed and taped down again, if possible, and both switches left off. We won't touch it again until station 8.
CDR-EVA: Oh, tape's not going to stick anymore, I'm afraid.
CC: Well, try.
LMP-EVA: Get me a - I need a normal sample bag for one here. It's pretty fragile.
LMP-EVA: Here, let me get this big one. I'm about ready to drop it. It looks like a gabbro.
CDR-EVA: There's sample bag 560.
LMP-EVA: And 560 has an undoc - undocumented except by tho pans - very white - looks like a crushed anortho- site. It looks like the - some of the inclusions in the breccia - in the gray breccia - gray and recrystallized breccia.
CDR-EVA: Jack, when you get around, and we close this gate, you might try and hit that - top of that SEP down again.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Bob, you're staying keyed an awful long time. We can hear a lot of what's going on back there. Wait a minute. Let me get this out of the way. Okay. Close it. Yes. That's got it.
CDR-EVA: That 's got it. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Well, because it's not locked. It's ... never was locked.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) We lucked out.
CDR-EVA: Okay. We're moving. Sort of.
CC: And, before you get on, remember to close the battery covers if they -
LMP-EVA: Your camera lens looks all right, Geno.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I dusted it already.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Cover closed-
LMP-EVA: Okay. Do they want it on or off? Leave it off, huh?
CDR-EVA: Leave it off, but try and close that cover as best you can.
LMP-EVA: Well, I'm afraid the tape has had it.
LMP-EVA: You want us to tape it again, Bob? What did you do with the tape?
CC: If you can grab the tape right off, but don't spend a lot of time on it.
LMP-EVA: What did you do with that tape?
CC: Let's worry about - let's worry about it at station 7, if we're going to worry about it. Press on.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Let's - let's forget it now. It's too hard, to work on there, and it's not going to take Just a minute. It's going to take too much time. I'm not sure I can get back on here·
LMP-EVA: Well, let me give you a hand. We need any a - we don't need any -
LMP-EVA: Nothing· As a matter of fact -
CDR-EVA: I can drive, Jack.
LMP-EVA: Why don't you drive down and get - so you're not · .. You can get on -
CDR-EVA: Okay. Let me get the TV; The battery covers are closed - Let me carry - -
LMP-EVA: Why don't you Just go down there.
CDR-EVA: - - I'11 carry the Rover samples ....
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'11 head down to that, ... that side hill over to those boulders right over there and then see if that's any change.
CDR-EVA: Okay. You might, if you get another sample - a large sample, you might grab it, and we'11 throw it in the footpan here - and - and I'11 see if I can't find a level spot to - -
LMP-EVA: I sort of ought to have my scoop, too.
CDR-EVA: - - help you get on. No, don't take too much; just take that. That's all you need.
CC: Okay; and, 17, can you verify that the - that the gnomon is back in the Rover?
CDR-EVA: Gnomon is on the Rover. The TGE is on the Rover.
LMP-EVA: The rake.
CDR-EVA: The rake is on the Rover. The scoop's on the Rover. We got the - you put the core under your pan, right?
LMP-EVA: Yes, that 's right.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'm going to power up and see if I can't come down and get you.
LMP-EVA: It's fun walking downhill. Boy, that boulder track is impressive.
CC: Okay; and, 17, when you get moving - when you get moving we want to get, and I quote, a maximum variety of hand samples with a minimum amount of documentation, in a minimum amount of time at station 7. It's Just an attempt to see what kind of variety we can get along the face of the front. Over.
CDR-EVA: Roger. Okay. Well, I'm not sure I can get down without ending up in your seat.
CDR-EVA: No, no. I don't need any help. I'11 get on.
LMP-EVA: I probably ought to turn my water off of MAX if that's where it is. It's cold. I don't want to run out today.
CDR-EVA: Well, the roll indicator says 15 degrees; and the pitch indicator says about 12. I don't know if I believe all that. Bob, you with us?
CC: Go ahead. Right. We're with you.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I 'm rolling.
CDR-EVA: Man, this is still a slope. Jack, I'm going to pull around and in the front of the way you're facing.
LMP-EVA: I can go down - There's a crater over here. Don't drive through it.
LMP-EVA: That 's great.
CDR-EVA: We ought to be able to pick up lots of those fragments out in that field out there.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Bag 48 Yankee has a sample of about a half - one-third-meter boulder that was lying in - that's sitting right smack dab in a little crater of it's O_ln.
CC: Copy that. 109A/51 Tape
LMP-EVA: I'm sorry. I Just fell, too.
CDR-EVA: Did you? You all right?
LMP-EVA: Yes. Got your h_,mer?
CDR-EVA: I got to drop it in the pan here. Hold on to it, I think.
LMP-EVA: Couldn't help that one.
CDR-EVA: Yes. I think we can get some more level spots. I can dust this thing back there.
CMP: Oh, I hope we got a pan camera picture of that - what the - Condorcet [?] or ... or something like that, the one I was describing had a little bit of diamond down in it?
CMP: Because what that - little diamond turned out to be with the binocs - It's a dome of material in there, and the reason it looks like a diamond is because you have slide material or talus-type stuff that's slumped down around it. And in that dome- type material, there are three or four black spots in it. I call it black; they're really a - I con - I kind of consider it a greenish - greenish black, you know?
CMP: I sure hope we - If - Why don't you check with Farouk and see if our pan camera coverage covers that - that crater? I think it probably did. That's an interesting one to take a look at any- how.
CC: Ron, Farouk thinks it is on the pan.
CDR: ° Very good.
CMP: You know, in the eastern wall of Picard - I'm looking at it with the binocs now, and you can definitely see the first part of it up there has some vertical ensearpments [sic] - escarpments along the edge of it. And the vertical escarp- ments are kind of in irregular layers - well, just kind of like you would suspect if you - you eroded out a bunch of lava layers. In other words, they're noncontinuous, but they're kind of inter- mingled along, and they go about - oh, a third of the way down from the top of the rim, down to where the talus starts sliding on into the - into the crater.
CC: Good show. We'11 tie that - tie that up with what you gave us last time on Picard.
CMP: All these dark-halo craters in the - in that one picture by that little diamond we've got up there by Yerkes. The one that's farthest to the south looks like an impact type of crater. In other words, you've got a definite ejecta lopping out around on those. The one that's hard to look at in the middle of mY picture, but I think it's probably the second one down from the top. It has rounded ridges - rounded rims, and - coming up on the side here I don't know if I am going to be able to see it until I go by it. It has rounded - a rounded rim. The eJeeta pattern or the dark halo is about twice the size of the ... one crater diameter. And it doesn't - it's - it's either a highly eroded impact-type crater, or it's a volcanic-type structure. And, to me, it doesn't look like a highly eroded impact one. Again, that's a little one we can probably pick up ground truth, so to speak, off of the pan camera film.
CC: Ron, are there any similarity between the highlands, west of Crisium and those east of Serenitatis?
CMP: You know, I loo - that's just what I was looking at. And the ones east of - west of - well - yes, east of Crisium and west of - No.
CC: West of Crisium- -
CMP: What I was looking at was the - -
CC: - - and east of Serenitatis.
CMP: Yes, west of Crisium and east of Seren_tatis. _nose are different - seem to be a different type of islands, and I want - I want to check the other ones when I go by, but it looked like when I was coming up on - on those west of Crisium, they're more of a tan-type colors, smaller - undulations smaller - They have a corn-cob effect, I guess is what you'd call it - what I call it anyhow. Smaller - smaller ears of corn or smaller mounds closer together as - as opposed to, when you get over to the landing site - The ones on the landing site seem to be more - raised, I guess. In other words, you still have a - a group of the small mounds and what have you, but they're a little more massive; you get more of an appearance of a dark flow - or a dark albedo between the mounds and between the bumps.
CC: Are you getting the landing site into view now?
CMP: I got it in window 2.
F: Crater.
CDR: ... back to the other window.
CMP: Did they kind of find that orange stuff on the north side of it?
CC: Let me check on that, Ron. I'11 be back with you in a second. I don't think so; their stop was at - station 4 was on - -
CMP: ... I'11 get ...
CC: Station 4 was on the south side of it.
CC: Just go ahead with what you see and - -
CMP: I'd say they just barely got into the stuff, then, becau - But it - but it looks like - kind of the north rim of it has more of a - a tint of a d_?- ferent color to it.
CMP: I ... my pictures.
CC: Is the color differentiation concentric around the - the crater or is it just in - in splotches?
CMP: No. It's just in the - kind of the north side of it.
CC: What would you say the color is then? Is it one of the different tans?
CMP: Yes, the color - (chuckle) Yes, it's a kind of a different - Would you believe kind of an orangish - tan through this - mic - through these binocs? I got to take another look at that when I go by the next time.
CC: Roger. I'm with you.
CC: Ron, when you get back - when you get done with this, we'd like you to sketch - when you get a chance, the color variations - just some thoughts on where the color splotches are with respect to Shorty, in particular.
CMP: Okay_ The - I'11 do that when I finish up here.
CC: Roger. Did you get a chance to look at F Crater?
F: Crater is - is sharp - just like - Shorty. I hope I was getting
F: Crater is about the same size as Shorty, isn't it? If not, I was getting one between Family Mountain and -
CC: Just about the same size, Ron. Maybe just a tad bigger.
CC: Ron, is there a cone associated with F Crater?
CMP: I didn't get a chance to look at it that much. I'11 have to check it the next time.
CC: G_ay. Have any thoughts on how - what's its origin?
F: Crater again the next time I come over on the thing, because I spent most of the time looking at - Shorty.
CMP: You know -
CMP: This - this formation again from- Tacquet on down to Menelaus or Melinor [sic]. Just went over that again, and I was looking at it with the binoculars, and I saw one sharp crater in the area that had a - an ejecta - almost the same color as the stuff around Shorty.
CC: Roger, Ron. You may point - pinpoint that crater between Tacquet and Menelaus when you ... down here.
CMP: Boy, oh boy, D-Caldera is going to be - between all the windows.
CC: You have any flow scarps in that unit - near that Menelaus Crater?
CMP: No. I'11 tell you what. There aren't any scarps there at all. That's why - That's another thing I was looking for, il;'s just a gradual degradation or gradual change in the color.
CC: You have any topography changes with respect to that color?
CMP: Yes, but the - the - No, the topography change is just a gradual - gradual change - with - There's a mound- There it is. I got to switch to all the windows.
CC: Are - are you able to get up on the D-Caldera?
CMP: Yes, I got D-Caldera into my sights now. The mound - ... in the center - are the same type of l material - same type of material as that sur- rounding the D-Caldera itself. Down in the caldera, the gray blocky-type of stuff - and you know what? I'd almost say that - You know how water drops kind of form on a - on a - on a sur- face as you - as you - Have you ever had a high spot and something kind of slowed up - up to it, high spot - and water kind of flowed up to and didn't quite stick to it - you know it doesn't stick to it, all in one spot - -
CMP: - - but it wo_d leave a - a depression due to a surface tension as you come on up there - and then you have kind of a little - little bubbles that - float across there, and that's what that looks like to me.
CC: Roger. We copy that. Keep - keep going; that sounds great.
CC: How about the dark-halo crater west of the D-Caldera?
UNKNOWN: Hey, I'm finding out with - with the binocs, your observation is - is cut ih about a half, and I_m going to have to get that the next time over.
CC: Roger. You think the dark halo crater is any relationship to those marelike patches in D-Caldera itself?
CMP: No, I don't think so. Just a - because the color differences are - or the color is completely dif- Ferent. So that - that's what - that's an open question on that one, and I'11 have to find out the next time around.
CC: Any thoughts about the light-colored annulus around D-Caldera.
CMP: No. I couldn't see a light-colored annulus.
CC: Okay. Hey, we need a RECORDER, ON, here on the lunar sound%r.
CMP: Oh, okay. Let's see. RECORDER is - The RECORDER is ON.
CC: Okay, Ron, let me read you some questions here real quick on D-Caldera. Determine the color difference between D-shaped expression and it's surroundings. I think you pointed some of that out. You got any more comments on that?
CMP: Okay. There is nothing - surrounding D-Caldera that looks anything like the - the silver - silver- gray meterial that has depressed. It's definitely depressed with - with respect to the surrounding terrain. The little bumps that are in D-Caldera are the same color and the same - smoothness - kind of - smoothness as the rest of the material - the mare material surrounding the area.
CMP: I could not detect the - an external annulus around the caldera itself.
CC: Okay. Do - do you feel that any of the material on the caldera is related to the material in the immediate vicinity?
CMP: The smooth-looking - let me get _ picture - the smooth-looking - bumps in there are definitely - doesn't look to me like they're the same material as the stuff in the whole area.
CMP: They're smooth - taunish.
CMP: You know, if I look at that picture, the dark-colored stuff looks to me like it's a depression, you know? And it's - and it's the other way around. The li_t - light - the light-colored light-albedo stuff in the picture is the part that's depressed and the darker portions that look like the - the material surround- ing the area is the part that's raised up.
CC: Roger. We copy that .... on D-Caldera, do you have any view Of any more of this terrain below you, or are your windows pretty well messed up?
CMP: It just got dark.
CMP: Yes, I - I stopped talking Just about the time we got to the terminator.
F: Crater, if you will. I know you didn't get a chance to look at it because - If we can tie up the - what you see from orbit on Shorty to what we know we've got from the ground truth, we might really have something here, as far as matching up on some of these other craters.
CMP: Uh huh; that's a good point.
CMP: Guess I can change the DAP here and get that out of the way.
CMP: Well, let's see, just kind of fouled that one up. Really wanted 142, narrow dead band, don't you, at 142, 269, and 0 - and 359? Thought we were already in that attitude.
CC: Ron, you might want to trim your attitude that - you were not to go to that VERB 49. That was the deleted at one thir - at 166:36. That VERB 49 was deleted, and your attitude is back to the - 142, 269, end 359, and you might want to trim that up.
CMP: Okay. Just did it. Thank you_ Bob. I'd have done it by myself if I hadn't gone to CMC FPEE, but I'd forgotten we were already _n that at bitude.
CC: Roger. No sweat here; you got a minute _r so before we're in the l_uar sounder attitude for the Marius Hills there.
CMP: Okay; 166:42. 109B/9 Tape
CC: And, Ron, you may be interested that, after we got the lunar sounder unsaturated there with the dif- ferent attitude, we - we could detect the SEP in lunar sounder the data.
CMP: Oh, very good. Kind of proves it's working anyhow.
CC: Yes, that's for sure. Everybody seems to be pretty tickled with what they're getting so far. Just hope the film comes out as well.
CMP: Oh, I'm sure it will. People out at Goodyear out there at Litchfield Park do a good Job.
CC: Ron, we got 30 seconds to T-start.
CMP: OPERATE; she started at 42:12. Okay. RECORDER's ON; RADAR is ON. Go to work.
CMP: 9- -
CMP: - - 10, 11, go. Hey, it worked out fine (chuckle). Must have hit it 3 seconds early.
CC: Roger. I still haven't figured out how to time this thing, I guess.
CMP: (Laughter) No, that was good. I got the mark the same time I did it.
CC: Okay, and you can relax, Ron, and I'11 give you a call at 40 - about 30 seconds prior to 47:10, so you don't have to sit there and watch for anything.
CC: Okay, I'11-
CC: Got to earn mY pay down here somehow.
CMP: (Laughter) Boy, you already have, i'11 tell you.
CC: Okay, Ron. We're about 30 seconds from T - from LUNAR SOUNDER STANDBY time.
CMP: Okay; 7:10, OPERATE to STANDBY.
CC: 5 seconds.
CC: Okay. There's your i minute, Ron.
CMP: Okay. RECORDER is going OFF, not to HEATERs.
CC: Ro_er. G00d show, Ron. - Farouk just came out and said a real good show. He's real excited about what you saw there, and we're real pleased with it.
CMP: Okay. I think I said north and as I look at the map -the orange distribution goes generally about a - a crater diameter to the north, but it essenti- ally starts - Well, if you'd cut a - on a 60-degree angle - from Dog Sierra at 63 - cut a 60-degree angle there and then - and then make that go around - out about a crater diameter.
CC: Okay. To the north at Dog Sierra at 63?
CMP: Yes, Dog Sierra at 63; that's on the bOO-meter scale there.
CMP: On TL-50. And, at the right-hand side - if you're looking at the thing from the bottom, the right- hand side is 0 - go up 60 degrees. You're 60 degrees up from the horizontal and 30 degrees down from the vertical. It'11 be something about like that.
CMP: It had kind of a brownish-orange tint to it.
CC: Ron, I guess one of the things that at least goes through Stu's and my mind on that Shorty Crater - and I think you dispelled it when you say it goes out like in a 60-degree angular cone away from it. -_ But the question we'd really like to be thinking about - Is that a concentric coloring around there, like it might be just a l_yering from a flap ov - you know, a turned-over flap or something like that, or Whether it Just seems to be some sort of a - I don't want to say flow, but something that would give it direction that one - the one 60-degree direction like that.
CMP: Yes, i see what you're saying. And - It all - almost looked to me llke it was gradational, as you, - as you went away from the crater. In other words, more - more orangish - more orangish closer - closer to the crater than as you got away from it.
CC: Okay. We're - we're ending up looking at futUre passes, not today probably, but for the future and see if we can fit in one or two more observa- tions to you here, where we can set up the back room like we had in all the - if you'11 go along with that, and if we can fit it in, would you like to do that?
CMP: Oh, sure. The crater that I described as looking comparable to Shorty, I don't think is the one on Family Mountain. I think it's the one on - bright dot - about the same size dot as Shorty on the l?-l leadin for the - 17-1 for the landmark tracking.
CMP: I think FsEily Mountain is the bigger of the two mounds to the west of the landing site, isn't it?
CC: Stand by a minute, Ron. Let me clarify that. Roger, it's west of the landing site, and I believe it's the bigger of the two.
CMP: Yes. Okay. The one that I saidthat looked like Shorty is kind of between the two mounds, and that's the one I looked at.
CC: You say it looked like $horty or looked like the other one?
CMP: - - ... a little bit.
CC: F Crater or Shorty?
CMP: Looked - looked like Shorty.
CC: Ron, we'd like the H2 TANKs and B FANs to ON, please.
CMP: Okay, H2 TANK 2 FAN is ON now; TANK 3 FAN is ON.
CC: Ron, I Just might draw your attention to the Flight Plan at 167:20, in that area where the lunar sounder finishes up, and it says that there will be no SIM bay or PCM data recorded until 169:03 and then you have to Configure the DSE there. Just want to draw your attention to that.
CC: Okay. That's a good point.
CMP: Hey, when you all drew that 60-degree angle, were you making that 63 degrees up from- not 60 - 60 degrees up from line 63?
CC: Yes. I -I di_Lu't know how to handle on 63, but I took a point at Dog Sierra and 63 and kind of - caught - created a 60-degree cone away from the crater at that point.
CMP: No, you want to create a semicircle. That's the center of the sem - Well, let's see. With the flat half of the semicircle along the line that goes through Dog Sierra 63 and Dog Whisky 57.
CC: Dog Whisky 57? Roger.
CC: Okay. I've connected a line - -
CMP: Connect a semicircle to the right of that line.
CC: Okay. To the right of that line or - to the north side of that line?
CMP: Yes. Actually, it will be kind of to the northeast, but to the north side of it, yes.
CC: Ron, we're going to lose you shortly, and all the systems look GO here. I've got a bet with EECOM that you'11 get everything in the Flight Plan. You won't miss anything for me.
CMP: (Laughter) Okay. We'11 try. Hey, before I go, take a look at Crisium and Serenitatis, 3 of 5; and the second one down from the top - or second one from the north, is the one I was looking at as that - is described as - as a partially subdued and - I mean a rounded-type thing with - with the kind of breaches in the side of the wall - what I consider breaches in the side of the wall.
CC: Okay. We got it. Crisium, 3 of 5, second one from the north, huh?
CMP: Yes. And the other one's not even circled; it's Just north of the - the one in the bottom, and that's the one that even shows up on here and the - impact-type, because it's got ray - ray material, but it's a fresh impact bringing up bluish - bluish-type material.
CC: Okay. Good show. You're - you're saying that the two of them are distinctly different from - when you're viewing. One's impact and one is possibly volcanic ...
CC: Good show. Tape ll0A/1 APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CDR-EVA: Yes. I think we get some more level spots, I can dust this thing back there.
LMP-EVA: Am I really on? CDR-KqA You're high. You're twisted. Go away from me one twist.
CDR-EVA: Is it caught in something? Yes, it is. You're - Hold it - wait a minute - get up, get up, get up. You've got - you're sitting on - get up.
LMP-EVA: What am I sitting on?
CDR-EVA: Can't get out. You didn't put this away. Wait a minute. Get up, out - all the way.
LMP-EVA: Oh, that thing.
CDR-EVA: Yes, this thing.
LMP-EVA: That's right. That's where it's setting high. I knew I'd forget that. Okay. Now, let me get this thing out. Okay. Okay. Let's press. Better get latched.
CDR-EVA: Okay. All set? I_-EVA Yes.
LMP: frame - is 130.
CDR-EVA: You got a lot of static now?
LMP-EVA: Hey, you got a rock on your right. I guess you - -
CDR-EVA: Yes. I got them. -EVA ...
CDR-EVA: I got the low gain set. Hello, Houston_ Do you read?
CC: Roger. We read loud and clear.
LMP-EVA: Okay; how about that field, not this block but there's sort of a collection of them - -
LMP-EVA: Oh; going into the Sun, I can't see a thing to tell you about Wessex Cleft.
CC: Okay. Station 7 is nominally 208 and 3.3, but it's any group of any significant boulders you want to stop at in reality.
LMP-EVA: Oh, easy.
CDR-EVA: You feel like you're on a downslope over there?
CDR-EVA: Do you? I don't feel that at all up here. Sun the way we are.
CDR-EVA: We must be about 200 meters up the slope, looking at that little valley down there, J_ck. Am I right? Tape llOA/3
LMP-EVA: Yes. I think you're right. The pattern on the slope really doesn't look much different than on the light mantle. Matter of fact, it looks very much like light mantle, except for these large blocks that are in it.
CC: Okay. Copy that. And you guys may still have your visors up. We can't tell, but you might be better off with them down, if you've forgotten they they're up.
LMP-EVA: Well, boy, I can't see. My hands work Just as well as my visor, as a matter of fact.
CDR-EVA: No, I can't believe - mine could be up.
LMP-EVA: You've got a crater right in front of you.
LMP-EVA: Okay. That looks like a pretty good pile to work on.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Let's go over in there.
LMP-EVA: Hey, wait a minute. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Bob, what heading are you going to want me to park on? I want to get in that flat area, Jack, so I can dust the radiators.
CC: We have no constraints, Gene. This is going to be a very short station. Probably not more than 10 or 15 minutes. But Just to grab, as I say a maxi- mum variety of hand samples with a minimum amount
CDR-EVA: Okay. We can do a pan, and pick up a lot of those small ones, Jack.
CDR-EVA: Rather than trying to chip.
CC: Okay. We would like to have the - -
CDR-EVA: I'd like to see us a little more level.
CC: - - TV camera and its mirrors and stuff dusted there, however. But we won't do anything to the battery.
LMP-EVA: I thought you were going to stop back there.
CDR-EVA: Well, okay. I was going out - out here around this big one.
LMP-EVA: I 'm sorry. I misunderstood you.
CDR-EVA: Yes. See, there's a lot of little ones up in here I want to -
CDR-EVA: Okay. Do not do anything to the batteries. Understand.
CDR-EVA: Right in here - right here to give you as much of a level spot as I can. That's about as level a spot as I can find. I'm inside the slope of a crater.
CDR-EVA: Bob, I'm at 200/3.3.
LMP-EVA: You want me to help you with it - that thing, Geno?
CDR-EVA: No, I'11 get it. Only one guy can do it.
CDR-EVA: I Just - we'11 take - you take a pan before, and we'11 start picking up some of those samples, and I'11 take a pan afterward.
LMP-EVA: Well, let's see here.
CDR-EVA: See what kind of variety we can get here.
LMP-EVA: There is another one of our blue-gray breccias I think, over there; recrystallized breccias with some of that crushed anorthosite in it. I think right in here I'm going to take the pan at about - - Tape ll0A/5
CC: And, Jack, what's your frame count?
LMP-EVA: lB1.
LMP-EVA: Bob, I'm going to take the pan at 11 - feet, so you can see the fragments that we are going to pick up here. Then we can take another one at - for location work.
CC: We've got a TV. And, I repeat, we'd like to get some dust both on the mirror- dusting of the mirror and the lens of the TV; TCU and the TV.
CDR-EVA: Let me get you - let me get you out of the Sun.
CDR-EVA: I wouldn't do this for anybody but you, you know that.
CC: Okay. Looks good, Gene. Thank you.
CDR-EVA: You know what? I'm getting tired of dusting. My i! primary tool, the dustbrush and the h_mmer - and my head. Okay. You ready to start picking?
CDR-EVA: You notice the temperature difference with that high Sun angle?
CC: Roger. You're probably letting in a lot of infrared through that - without having that gold visor down, too. That's sort of an infrared shield.
CDR-EVA: Yes, but mine's been down all the time, Bob.
CDR-EVA: Except in the shade.
LMP-EVA: Okay, 540 is the first bag of selected samples.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm going to leave it open, but don't let me - let me get -
CDR-EVA: Here, put that one in there.
LMP-EVA: Wait a minute, let's get a bag on it. We're getting too many rocks, and we don't know where they came from.
LMP-EVA: I don't think it will fit. Know it?
CDR-EVA: Yes, we'11 wrap it a little bit .... it will fit. ... fit.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Bag 541 is partially around another big rock in Gene's - Gene's collection bag.
CDR-EVA: Did you get pictures of this thing here?
LMP-EVA: I was Just collecting in this area.
LMP-EVA: That's what I'm doing.
CDR-EVA: That's one of the blue-gray rocks, Bob. And it's got a light-colored fragment that runs the full height of it, about a meter and a half thick. And then it's got the gray or blue-gray rock on the other side. As a matter of fact - Let me look at it closely. It's a fr_mment in it all right.
CC: Okay. Copy that, Gene. And remember to document around the corner at your ... get some photo doc_n_entation of the boulder. Tape l10A/7
CDR-EVA: Bob, I wouldn't be absolutely positive, but it sure looks like I see a dikelet in here that's in the inclusion. And I'm going to get a closeup stereo of it. I'd call it a dikelet, if you pinned me down.
CDR-EVA: I wish I could break a sample right off. Here's another one. It is a dikelet' There's three or four of them.
CC: Okay. Copy that, Gene. Very good.
CDR-EVA: Oh - me; oh, my. The material in the dike looks - Yes, it is, it is, it's not covering it. It's between the - it's between the - lighter colored rock, and it's the blue-gray rock.
LMP-EVA: 542 is another bag of goodies.
LMP-EVA: Gene, let me get rid of this.
CDR-EVA: Oh, wait a minute. I got - I got - Well, maybe it isn't a dikelet. Maybe it's just a screen covering, a flow covering.
LMP-EVA: No, you got - They're - they're dikes.
CDR-EVA: Let me - let me -
LMP-EVA: They're little veinlets of -
CDR-EVA: Let me get this whole thing in a bag.
CDR-EVA: I got a - I got a rock, Bob. It's fractured, primarily around the dike. It's in several pieces, but we're going to put it all in one bag.
LMP-EVA: 543.
CDR-EVA: Some of the men are going to have to assemble that.
CC: Copy, 543.
CDR-EVA: Here, I got - I got - Let me get it piece by piece.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We need to get a - put one of those dikes in another bag. Bob, it looks like some fraction of the blue-gray material has obviously - -
CDR-EVA: Not too full. That 's all right.
LMP-EVA: - - intruded. Huh? Now, can you get that dike there? Piece of it?
CDR-EVA: That 's right. Yes.
LMP-EVA: Can you get that?
CDR-EVA: I can get it right here.
LMP-EVA: No, I think - No, get the piece with the - you get more of it, right there.
CDR-EVA: Yes. It's this soft, white inclusion again. It breaks pretty easy.
CDR-EVA: Oh, it's got to be a dike. Look at that.
LMP-EVA: It is. It is.
LMP-EVA: Okay, 544.
LMP-EVA: Yes, sir. Looks like - although the blue-gray up on the hill looked like a fragment breccia, if this is still related, then it's - been some partial melting at some time. ll0A/9 Tape
CDR-EVA: There's a preserved contact between the dike and the - -
CDR-EVA: Why don't we get this big piece of dike now?
LMP-EVA: See if you can get - Whoa! Don't hit it again. There, you've still got some - still got some contact there.
CDR-EVA: Now, there's some good contact. Man, that'11 do it.
CDR-EVA: that'11 do it.
LMP-EVA: Dike and intruded rock in 544. Now, these dikes are a dark bluish-gray. And it looks like there are some - it looks llke they're very finely Crystalline - maybe with some - - _: /
CDR-EVA: Get my bag. I'm taking some closeups. ,_
LMP-EVA: - - very fine phenocrysts.
LMP-EVA: We ought to get - Well - we ought to get a piece of the normal gray that the dikes are coming from. You got your h_mer handy still?
LMP-EVA: ._.
CDR-EVA: I want to get this - -
CDR-EVA: - - finish documenting this thing.
CDR-EVA: Ah-hah ! Ah-hah !
LMP-EVA: Hey, over here on this side, it looks like the vesicular anorthositic gabbro.
CDR-EVA: I got to get some regular pictures on this set. Okay. Here's the - if that one won't come off, this one will. Got it?
LMP-EVA: And - Yes. 561. That's a sample of the gray, looks like recrystallized breccia that the dikes are continuous with.
CC: Okay. And a -
LMP-EVA: And a - Bob, that's my turn to say "and a." And the - the vesicular rocks -
CDR-EVA: Let me finish the stereo around the corner here.
CC: Okay. And you guys have dropped the scoop there on the ground. And we're ready for you guys to leave.
CDR-EVA: I know you are.
CC: And you might grab one FSR on the way out.
CDR-EVA: Okay. We'11 do that.
LMP-EVA: Okay. There's that one. The vesicular anorthositic gabbro is in 5 - What is it? 62.
CDR-EVA: 62.
CDR-EVA: I'11 get this in there, and you take the -
LMP-EVA: i got to get the scoop.
CDR-EVA: Scoop, and I'11 get the hA_mer. Then make sure your bag is closed.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I've got to check yours, too. Let me get uphill from you, though. Tape ll0A/11 Can you get it now?
LMP-EVA: Thisis one of the worst bags we've had - packing. It Just doesn't stay down. Probably - If we get time somewhere, we ought to change that out.
CDR-EVA: Two of the corners are - -
LMP-EVA: Yes. Well -
LMP-EVA: It's okay. It'11 hold for a while.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Here's an FSR that's about -
CC: And, Jack, you're untied on one - one side of your bag is undone again.
LMP-EVA: Oh, I'11 get it - for you.
CDR-EVA: Here's a football-size rock that was 50 percent varied.
LMP-EVA: Can you grip it? I got the gate open.
CDR-EVA: I'm going to get your bag. Hey! Did you see the way I handled that hammer?
CDR-EVA: Tell you what, I'm getting accustomed to things.
CDR-EVA: Boy, I think everything is so full of dust, nothing wants to move any more.
LMP-EVA: Okay. That one looked like a piece of the gray rock, I think.
CDR-EVA: Yes. I'11 bet I didn't push the gravimeter here. Did I, Bob?
CC: No. We'11 get it at station 8.
LMP-EVA: No. They didn't tell us to.
