LMP: DUMP valve to AUTO. My feedwater is on.
CDR: Okay, that DUMP valve look in AUTO?
LMP: Let me check. I can't see. Yes, sir, it looks in AUTO.
CDR: Okay. Now, let's just hold this door open right here like that. Get my feedwater on.
CDR: While we're standing here, why don't we jettison this gear? If you'd just back into the corner.
UNKNOWN: ° Just a second, Pete. Wait until the suit pressure goes down a little bit.
CDR: Ail right, leave that right where it is.
LMP: What do you want to do?
CDR: Close it.
LMP: I will. If you stick it in the crack here - No, stick it in that crack right there. There's a good spot. (IONFIDENTIAL ,
LMP: Yes. Get that hatch all the way back, I'm going to get this gear out of here.
CDR: That's all right.
LMP: Will you stand there and make sure that my water is on all the way?
CDR: Okay. You'11 have to turn.
CDR: You're on.
CDR: Turn further than that, please.
CDR: Wait - wait. That's outgassing (laughter).
CDR: It's all the way out.
LMP: Okay. My water light is out; I have a good boiler.
CDR: Mine isn't out yet.
CDR: Now. Get rid of this baggage here. Back up.
LMP: Caution and warning status check is okay.
LMP: Get it.
CDR: Did it make it?
LMP: No, it's sitting on the front porch, but it's okay. My suit's still pretty high, 4.3. LIGHT- ING ANNUNCIATOR/NUMERICS, DIM.
CDR: Okay, let me turn.
CDR: Towards you.
LMP: 0k%v. It's DIM.
UNKNOWN: Okay, I'm just - Tell you what_ why don't you release my antenna? Adjust that flap, no, that flap right there.
CDR: Flap.
CDR: I'm pulling mine and then when you go down to go out, I'11 take yours out.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Up?
CDR: Fine. I'm ready to go.
UNKNOWN: Okay, just a second.
CDR: Ail right. Let me - hold my knee against that - That Velcro doesn't hold worth a hoot.
UNKNOWN: Okay, out you go.
UNKNOWN: Don't get hung on there. Anything?
UNKNOWN: Okay. That's the way; you're centered good this trip. That's good. Move a little bit to the left - little bit to the left; there you go. You better get that antenna as you go.
CDR: Okay. It's out. Get it?
LMP: Yes, ready to go.
CDR: Okay. CONFIDENTIAL-
LMP: Move a little bit to your right - and you're out the hatch - and I'11 be standing by to get the LEC.
CDR: Wait a minute. Must be going off; did the bag go off?
LMP: I can't tell.
CDR: I can't either. Okay. Good shape. Okay. Do you want to hand me the LEC? I mean the - the left-hand side stowage, you want to get rid of it?
LMP: Let's get rid of it.
LMP: You okay?
LMP: Check it. Open the hatch a little more and give it a kick.
LMP: And I'm standing by for the LEC.
CDR: Ail right, wait a minute. The LEC, coming at you. I've got to bring it up. Wait a minute.
CDR: There you go. I'm headed down the ladder.
CDR: Now, the cameras.
CDR: _oops, long step. Okay, Houston -
CDR: I'm on the lunar surface.
CC: Roger. Copy, Pete.
CDR: One of these contrast charts fell down here yes- terday, Al, so there's only two good ones; the other one's too dirty.
CDR: It doesn't rap off; it just -
UNKNOWN: Okay, ready to transfer ETB when you are.
CDR: Okay. Coming right after it, right now.
LMP: Looks like the lock on this ETB - I mean the lock on the LEC is - jammed with -
CDR: Dirt?
LMP: Dirt, yes.
UNKNOWN: D Pull away.
LMP: Pull away.
CDR: Oh, it may - have to let it out easier. Okay, let it go. Just lower it. Lower. Ail right, just lower it some more - and hold it right there.
CDR: Boy, I'11 tell you, I'm going to learn - two things I'm going to learn to dislike, and one of them's a _J cable and the other one's the S-band antenna cable.
CC: Roger, Pete. We copy that.
CDR: And they are constantly underfoot.
CDR: Ail right. Now, let me take it across to the other side - where it's out of your way.
CC: Al, before egress, would you confirm that the TV circuit breaker is out? CONFIDENTIAL
LMP: Confirmed; out.
LMP: It is out, Houston.
CDR: ..., my friendly gnomon. In all that - ... activity yesterday, I forgot all about him sitting here.
CDR: What you up to, Al?
LMP: Getting this camera set.
CDR: Okay. Got SRC 2 - Working away here.
LMP: Okay. Let me check all the circuit breakers and I'11 be out with you.
CDR: Down that side.
LMP: Do you have enough?
CDR: I'11 tell you, these Teflon bags don't hold up too well in a vacuum. In a lunar environment, I'11 put it that way.
CC: Roger, Pete. We copy that comment. Any clari- fication?
CDR: Yes, they tend to have fatigue failures along the cracks when you go to open them up. I notice the two bags that I put in the SRC yesterday - they're that way. And, let me get back here just a second; let's see, pass LEC, ETB transfer, geology PREP, stow on HTC; contrast charts, ex- tension handle, hammer, small shovel, and gnomon.
LMP: Here I come, Pete.
CDR: Okay, have fun. Place SRC 2 on MESA, attach weighbag to scale, attach saddlebag to LMP. There's one thing that's bothering me; I don't have that saddlebag. I wonder - why I don't. Might I find one? Ah ha ha, here's one .... , how are you doing?
CDR: Check. Okay - keep coming - you're in pretty good shape. There you go - a little - a little ... - -
CDR: I'm trying to close this hatch.
CDR: Right now, this stuff, this - material around the spacecraft reminds me - in this Sun angle, looking into the Sun - a very rich brown color - it re- minds me of a good plowed field.
CDR: Looking down-Sun, it's still the same old ash gray, very light white ash gray.
LMP: Okay. _2P's off the footpad.
CDR: Okay, !JvlD. How about let's get a - a Surveyor parts bag here?
LMP: Ail right, just a second, Pete. Ail right, and thermal visors.
UNKNOWN: I'm going to pull down those little side visors.
CDR: They are - Houston. I think A1 and I both find that these little side Sun visors are extremely handy.
CDR: Watch that rock box, I've got a strap down.
CDR: Almost cold today on MIN cooling. How are you doing? (I[ONFIDENTIAi
LMP: About the same .... put that line right there, Pete.
LMP: I'm going to set the tether right there and - -
LMP: Okay, and I'11 put it on you here, babe.
CDR: How's that? Is that - You want me to stand low or high?
LMP: Low.
CDR: Okay. How's that?
CDR: Okay, got that one on - ... other side - Looking good so far.
LMP: You know, other than the large-size rocks - very, very difficult to determine a contact around here.
CDR: Okay - we looked.
LMP: Okay. Now, around to the side. We're putting the parts bag on Pete right now, Houston. Going on, okay. Real well ...
LMP: Boy, Houston. That COMM is super; it sounds like you're right inside my helmet.
CC: Roger. The best SIM we've had.
LMP: I wonder what happened since yesterday?
CDR: I don't know; I think everybody learned a little - -
LMP: Okay. That bag's on there; now, let's see what else.
CDR: I need to get the tools tool, tool (singing). And before you put the tool in, we got to cut a TV cable.
CC: That's affirmative. Cut the TV cable below the adapter - -
CDR: Understand. Got it. On my way.
CC: - - about 1 inch and then - that's 1 foot below the adapter, and then stow the TV camera in the ETB.
CDR: Okay. Hey, look at that Surveyor, Al. That's not anywheres near as bad a slope - -
CDR: - - Now that it's out of the shade.
LMP: Hey, Houston, that Surveyor looks a lot better today. Yes, now that the Sun's up on it, shone on it.
CDR: Get those TV cables cut. Now, wait a minute; leave it right on there for a second. Come on over and put the thing in my back and let's mount our cameras and then ETB. Is that all right?
CDR: Or either that, bring it back - I'm sorry.
LMP: It's okay. Doesn't make any difference. Here it is.
CDR: Z think you got ... right here.
LMP: Got the right idea; that's the lunar walk. Okay. Stick it in here.
CDR: Look at that part number on the side of the tool.
LMP: ... that a few times. KZONFIDENT.AL4
CDR: Say, Houston, while hers putting the tool on, it's a very interesting thing. There is a angular rock that's literally 6 inches from the engine exhaust skirt. It's just sitting on the - on the lunar surface, and I really find it hard to believe that the engine exhaust couldn't blow that rock away. It's only about 3-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches, and it's not stuck in the ground; it's just sitting there loosely about 6 inches from the engine bell; and, of course, the ground. is blasted clean all the way around it and yet the engine exhaust blast didn't blow that rock away.
LMP: Pete, where's the saddlebag? You don't have one.
CC: Roger, Pete. We copied that comment. Were you able to get a photo of that in the first EVA?
CDR: No, we'11 get that right now. Is there one in here, Al?
CC: And, Pete, now for your reference on the photos. Your shadow length now is 18 foot.
LMP: Here's a couple of sneaky bags first ... this one.
CC: Al, also if you would, before you start that traverse, would you get a good photo of the solar wind to show us how that foil is wrapped around?
CDR: Will do.
LMP: Okay, Houston, that won't take a second. Okay, let me attach this bag to - would you attach this bag to me, Pete?
LMP: I'm going to slide that off at the same time. Ail right.
CDR: Okay, I'11 tell you what, if you'd go put one camera - Here, the saddlebag's on - If you'd put one camera on, you look at those little - Go get the TV, I'11 mount this other - gear on here. My compliments to the man that packed that SRC box; it looks Just like the training boxes.
CDR: Hand me those tongs a second.
LMP: Yes, sir. Here's the tongs. Where are you?
CDR: Right behind you. Hold on just a second. Hold on; let's see what this is.
LMP: That's what left of - -
CDR: - - some of those parts bags.
CDR: Got you.
CDR: Okay - the core tubes. Come on; get out of there. If I didn't know better, I'd say there was solar wind up here, that blows hard enough to blow sample bags in the wrong direction. Okay, Ad, three core tubes and the film.
LMP: Okay - take them.
CDR: - - got this stuff here coming up.
LMP: Saddlebag.
CDR: Chart fits right in its back.
LMP: Worried about that.
LMP: Yes, sir. It's in the saddlebag.
CDR: Okay. Now, here's the other thing here, that safety line. CONFIDENTI
LMP: Huh? Oh, yes.
CDR: When I hook those on there, too, that thing's a pain in the neck over there, the way they spread out in the vacuum.
CDR: And I got the gas sample tube here.
CDR: Gas sample tube coming up.
CDR: Now, I need to get that safety line.
LMP: Okay, I'11 put that over here, babe.
CDR: Okay, I'11 get the safety line. One safety line - Whoops, excuse me.
CDR: I'11 put my camera on; we'11 put the TV camera in the ETB, and away we go.
LMP: ... - ... take the ... There.
LMP: Yes, sir. It's in.
CDR: Okay. If you get your camera, I'11 put that TV camera in the ETB.
CDR: Per their request.
CDR: Okay, from the local terrain, Houston, as you know it right now, and with the polarizing filter, have you got any particular place enroute to the ALSEP or to head crater that youtd like polarizing pictures taken?
LMP: Hey, hold that, would you, Pete?
CC: We'11 get back to you on that. Press on now - the nominal plan right now.
CDR: Here, let me have it.
LMP: Okay, let me film the handle - -
CDR: Film the handle, yes. Hold it tight.
LMP: I got it as far as I can. Permanently mounted that baby - -
CC: Pete, we have no preference on that. Go ahead and take it as called out for in the cuff checklist.
CDR: Okay. Stick it in the ETB and we'11 screw with it later.
CDR: Handle in.
CDR: Drop her. Okay_ Houston, one TV camera in the bag and - our plan of attack is - Al?
CDR: One picture of that rock under the descent stage - -
LMP: Shall do.
CDR: - - Grab the handtool carrier and head for the solar wind and grab a picture of that. In the meantime, I'11 lope off to the ALSEP and check the SIDE's; I'11 meet you at point 1 at head crater.
LMP: Okay. ONFIDENTt ,
CDR: If you see any Indians, don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.
CC: Roger; we copy. And, Al, have you gotten the readings on the contrast charts?
LMP: Not yet and I plan to do that real quick.
CDR: Houston, Pete's on his way to the ALSEP. Okay.
CC: Roger, All we copy. And at ... minutes into the VA - EVA, you're pretty close to the nominal time line.
CDR: Can the guy with the seismometer hear me running?
CC: Pete, we're watching you down here in the seismic data - looks as though you're really thundering right by it.
CDR: Yes, I - I ground to a halt there to switch to intermediate cooling. I noticed that - it is obviously a little bit hotter out here with the higher Sun angle right now. Okay, I'm approaching the infamous SIDE.
CC: Roger. And we're able to copy your rest and now that you're moving again.
CDR: Okay. Ail right, Houston. The status is - Oops, I'm going to get dust in it. The cover is off, and it's pointed up at the sky at about a 60-degree angle.
CC: Roger. Do not touch it right now, Pete. Which way is that pointing - relative to east-west?
CDR: It is pointed down-Sun.
CC: Roger. Pete, no need to change the configuration; let's press on.
CDR: Okay. Now - -
CC: We copy that you've stopped on the seismic.
CDR: Yes. Where's me handy-dandy LM_?
LMP: He's contrast charting.
CDR: Oh, okay. Meet you at the head crater, pal.
CDR: Oh, boy, is ... like I want that rock. Here's a dandy extra grapefruit-size-type goodie.
LMP: Find a crater with a shadow in it first_ there's one .
UNKNOWN: Okay, Houston, I'm approaching a crater now, and I'm going to put the contrast chart in it - one on each side; one on the sunny side, one on the shadow side. I'11 give you a report.
LMP: There's the one on the sunny side.
CDR: Man, have Z got the grapefruit rock of all grape- fruit rocks. It's got to come home in the space- craft_ it'11 never fit in the rock box. Okay, Houston, I'11 tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to wind up at the right place at head crater; and, while I'm waiting for Al, I_ll roll a boulder for you. Okay, Houston? I'm now looking at - -
CDR: - - That crater is - -
CC: 0kaM, Houston. Can you give us a mark when you roll over - -
UNKNOWN: Yes, I sure will. That crater is, by golly, a rather steep crater - a lot steeper than it looks from out the LM. It's - CONFIDENTIAL a
LMP: Houston?
CC: Yes, go.
LMP: I'm looking at the contrast chart in the Sun, and I can see all the different shades. And I've taken a photo of it; now, look at the one in the shadow. In the shadow, I can see - Well, depends on how close I am. If I'm within about 3 feet of it or _ feet of it, I can see all six shades. I'11 take a picture here, then I'11 back up.
CDR: Let me ask you a question, Houston. How big a rock?
CC: Pete, Houston. I presume - whatever's a con- venient size for you. We'11 check that out, though.
CDR: Okay. The other rocks that I was talking to you about are pretty well buried, and they're pretty large; I don't think I could get one of them going.
CC: Roger. We copy. Grapefruit-size or any size is fine.
CDR: Okay. Al, are you standing still?
LMP: I'11 stand still; go ahead.
CDR: Okay. I'm standing still. Houston, on my mark, they're rolling -
CDR: It's starting down - hit, hit, hit, hit. Now, it's just rolling. Roi1, roll, roll, still rolling. Roll, roll, roll - -
CC: Roger, Pete. We've got some jiggles that I can see here. We'11 get a reading on it for you.
CDR: Still rolling - still rolling. Very slowly, still rolling. And it's stopped -
LMP: Okay, Houston, I looked - I'm looking at the con- trast chart in the shadow; and, as I mentioned at 3 feet, I can see all six. If I back up maybe to 10 feet, as long as I stand here a moment and adapt Nv eyes, I can see all six also. Now, the thing that seems to have the biggest effect on it is how low the Sun is. The Sun is high now and so I don't have to squint my eyes particularly, looking in that direction. Yesterday, looking into the same crater, even though it wouldn't be any darker in there because the Sun was there, I could - I would never be able to adapt. Right now, I can see all six marks, and I've taken the photographs. Going to go out and do solar wind now .
LMP: I can't see a lot of difference in visibility -
LMP: The only major difference I've noticed is the fact that when you're out here on these - this area, if you look cross-Sun, the Moon appears one color; if you look down-Sun, it's another; if you look up-Sun, it's another. But looking into shadows or anything else like that, it's pretty much the same as on Earth.
CC: Copy that, Al.
UNKNOWN: Okay, I'11 take some pictures here of the solar wind for you.
LMP: It doesn't look as pronounced, wrapped around the pole now that I get out here, Houston. It - looks pretty much like yesterday, just sort of, I guess it was sort of an optical illusion from inside the spacecraft. I took a couple of pictures of it, but I don't think there's anything unusual going on there.
CC: Roger, Al. And, Pete, if it's convenient, and you can find another rock there and give her a heave, Experiments sure would like to see another one. 'CONFIDENTI Ab
CDR: Okay, I was setting up my rock hole and all that - good things for the polarizing light. And - Say, I was looking at a rock that has small crystals in it. One of them is shining very, very bright green, like ginger-ale-bottle green.
CDR: Okay. Al, are you on your way?
LMP: That's affirm; I'm now making sure that everything is in the tool box - handtool carrier here.
LMP: I'm mounting them pretty firmly. Hey, Houston? As I was working around the handtool carrier a moment ago, the canvas bag came loose. It took me about 2 minutes to put it back together again; it came off the metal sides. And it looks like those clips that hold it on are going to be com- pletely inadequate, and I expect that we're going to have some trouble with it all day today. We ought to think about fixing it before next time.
CC: Roger, Al. We copy that. Do you think once you put a little weight in it, she'11 hold better?
LMP: I don't know; they don't - the - they don't seem to have a lot of friction on the sides there, and the bag just floats around it. It needs to be more firmly attached some way.
LMP: I'm just leaving the LM.
LMP: Boy, this handtool carrier is - is light and nice. Compared to carrying it around on Earth I think it's going to be - We might be able to just slip it right down inside the Surveyor crater with us. Piece of cake. Okay, I see you over there; I'm on the way. Oh, don't tell me, you ding-a-ling camera. Man.
LMP: I can see anything - everything from fine-grain basalt as I come running across the area here, to - coarse - a few coarse-grain ones; I see some - sort of light reddish-gray colored rock that I would call - I don't know really what I would call it; it looks almost like a granite, but, of course, it probably isn't, but it has the same sort of texture. The individual components - constituents, so to speak, are crystals, but it still has that same appearance. They'11 have a chance to examine one closer.
CC: Roger, Al. We copy that. And, Pete, can we give you any help with that camera?
CDR: I got it going - just fine.
CDR: I'm taking the polarized pictures right now - but Al, when you get up to me, if you'11 just stop up-Sun at 15 feet and take that shot of what I'm shooting at, 11 15, two pictures; one before, one after.
UNKNOWN: Okay, let me take something out of this crater hole, Pete. It's sort of unusual; it's got a lot of those little droplets on it, those blips. But - but the - the fragments in this crater looks different from - the others. Take a couple of quick pictures, then I'11 be right with you.
CDR: Okay. It's all working out just fine.
LMP: Get me a stereopair of this. Good. We'11 use the tongs here and I'11 pick it up.
LMP: It's right exactly - this is a very small crater, Houston, probably about 3 feet in diameter and looks like it was made at - not very fast-moving heavy/ or energetic or projectile. Yet, right in CONFIDENTIAL, the middle of the hole is some of these glass- covered rock fragments. And, on some of the other rocks that seemed to be rested in the hole, I'm putting them all in a - sample bag 1 here, I mean - some of the others don't have any coating on them at all. I'm picking them up with the tongs, but I can't tell how strong they are but they don't seem - they don't seem to hold together too well; they seem kind of weak. There you go. Now, I'11 head on over where Pete is.
CC: Roger, Al. We copy that. If you're going to document that, try to get some of the material around the glass as well as the glass itself.
LMP: Okay. I want to - I'11 just get this as a bonus, and I want to get over here to start working with Pete as a team, here. Just didn't want to have to try to remember where that was.
CDR: You're going to get a big surprise when you look into this head crater, Al. It's a beck of a lot deeper than it looks.
CDR: Here's a nice white, small crater - a white rim on it, about a 5-foot diameter one.
LMP: I've been concentrating, Houston, as I came walk- ing over here to head crater, to see if there were any possible changes in either texture, slope, color, anything you could think of or anything that I could think of, that would say to me that I was walking on a different surface than I was when I started. And I can't - haven't seen a thing yet; it all looks the same - it all looks like it's covered with this - black rock.
CDR: Slow up. Don't - don't - don't kick dust in the middle of my polarized picture area, here.
LMP: Okay. I'11 stop right here.
CDR: Okay. Put the tool carrier down and get - get your up-Sun pictures. You see where my footsteps are, that rock that's half buried and the two rocks that I've turned over in my footsteps?
CDR: Okay, it's 15 feet, f:11, two shots - Now, you're not going to get the before, unfortunately.
LMP: Okay. How about right - Better have my shadow here or over there?
CDR: No, that's the pile, right there. See where my - see where I turned over the two rocks alongside the great big rock, where my foot tracks are?
LMP: On yes, way down there at the end.
CDR: No, right here. I'11 walk over to it.
CDR: Right straight in front of me. This rock pile, right here.
CDR: Oh, okay. Want me to shoot it from right here?
CDR: Yes, and you aren't 15 feet; back up; you're ... feet.
LMP: Ail right. I sure will. Fifteen feet - okay, it ought to be about f:11.
LMP: Okay, got those two. Got a couple of pictures there, Houston. Let me tell you what my camera reading is now, and then we can try to keep up with it from time to time. Next time, I'11 come over here by Pete and we'11 - -
CDR: Yes, Houston, I've shot three - six - nine - 12, 15 - 15 pictures.
CC: Copy 15, Pete.
CDR: Okay, and on my mark, I'm going to send a slightly smaller rock into the crater. Are you ready? Get set - ¥CONFIDENTIAb
CC: Roger. We're watching.
CDR: I didn't quite kick it hard enough; wait 1 and I'11 do it again.
LMP: And, Houston, that sample bag that I put the fragments in that I memtioned earlier, that I found in the bottom of that small crater?
LMP: That's sample bag 1-D.
CC: Copy your mark, Al, or Pete, and 1-D on that sample bag.
CDR: You know, it's a funny thing, Houston, in one- sixth g, these - even though slopes are steep and everything, these rocks just don't want to go anywhere.
LMP: Okay, Pete. I need you to - -
CC: Roger, Pete. We haven't been able to pick it up on the PSE here.
CDR: Okay, that was too small a rock.
LMP: - - take the filter off the front of my camera, would you?
CDR: Okay. Let me set this down.
LMP: And you might want to take the ... tools in a sec ond.
CDR: Okay. Here's your camera. Filter's off.
LMP: Okay. That's it for the filter. Goodness, that thing goes.
CDR: Okay. Okay, I've got a rock over here.
CDR: _at are we supposed to get here?
LMP: We probably ought to come over here to the other side; it looks the best, and do a little trench, and compare some of the soil profiles.
CDR: Okay, they wanted it - look, Itve got an area right over here that looks like a good area to work in. Okay?
LMP: These little white spatterlike craters; it looks like they're very fresh impact, like that little one right there.
CDR: Yes_ that's a good idea.
LMP: Let me go over here; there's three in a row, and let's work this area a little bit, which is the corner of head crater they wanted us to work.
LMP: And we can work right here and up to the top of it.
CDR: What - what corner is this?
LMP: We're in the northwest corner.
UNKNOWN: Right as I indicated on the map.
LMP: Okay. Now, Z don't want to get any dirt in this thing; it's pretty interesting.
LMP: A little secondary impact crater, huh?
CDR: Okay, you want me to step - down from here?
UNKNOWN: No, I'11 - I'11 get the cross-Sun.
CDR: Okay. i'11 set this - - CONFIDEN , t
LMP: Well, you've got to, also got to be careful with this tool carrier, Houston. Did you want to put the gnomon in, Pete?
CDR: Oh, yes, let me have my tool.
LMP: Here's your - grabber.
CDR: Grabber - ... at it.
CC: Roger, Al. We copy that comment; and, on the northwest rim, we're looking for two partial PAN's.
CDR: Okay, that's - -
CDR: We'11 get them - in a little - -
LMP: Okay, wait, let me get my pictures, Pete.
LMP: Let me get over here and get the gnomon and - a sample of this rock right here; this rock is very - typical of all the fragments around here.
LMP: Hey, that's interesting; look where you kicked. Got some lighter material there.
CDR: Boy, sure did, didn't I!
LMP: Yes, that's interesting; that's the first time we've seen that.
CDR: In fact, you know what it looks like here, it looks like it may be this darker material - Well, I don't know - -
LMP: I'm going to photograph that, too. Let me get - -
UNKNOWN: - - let me get this. Houston, kind of interesting here. Pete walked across one edge of the rim here. We're about - oh, 50 feet inside the - the upper rim and he happened to scrape an area there with his foot. It's a much lighter-colored soil - -
CDR: Like cement.
LMP: Yes. Let me take -
CDR: Get your picture?
CC: Ro_er_ Al.
LMP: Here, let me get my bag, Pete. You got to be careful with that handtool carrier; it'11 fall over.
LMP: It's light and - -
CDR: Sa_ple bag number 13, okay?
CDR: Okay. Al, let me photograph this thing, and let's trench this whole area.
CDR: I dropped the gnomon in right here over my foot- steps and the light soil versus the dark, and we can trench there - -
LMP: OkaM, I just put it into 3-D. In just a second.
CC: 3-D, Al.
LMP: Okay. 1/250th.
CDR: Let's see. Five feet, f:8, Okay. ICONFIDENTIA :
LMP: Okay, and let me get a picture of what you're doing.
CDR: Get the stereopair on, I think.
LMP: Okay. You're going to trench right there, huh?
CDR: Yes, let me get my shovel.
LMP: Okay. That's going to make an interesting shot. What can I give you, Pete.
CDR: I need the shovel.
LMP: Ail right. I'11 hold the tool carrier while you grab at it. Got her?
CDR: Yes. Let me have the handle.
LMP: Need the handle?
LMP: Can I get it?
LMP: Okay. Move over here where I can bag it better for you.
LMP: Very interesting things about this side of the mountain - I mean, this side of the crater - is that these boulders aren't uniformly distributed around. They all seem to be over here on the western side. If you look over th? eastern side or the north or south, you can see some; but there's quite a bit more over here on the west, for some reason .... - -
CDR: Here you go, A1 - quit baloneying and help me.
CC: Roger, Al. We copy that.
CDR: Look at that.
LMP: Stick it right in there - -
CDR: In that white soil with the brown, huh?
CDR: There you go. Now, let me trench it.
CDR: We get some photos of that.
LMP: Okay, look, you can see where you dug in that; there's still some under you; why don't you give me another scoop right in there?
CDR: Okay. A good idea.
LMP: There's not much in here. Okay. _ere Pete digs up - sure enough, right underneath the surface. you find some much lighter gray - Boy, I don't exactly know why at this point, and you can look around now and see several places where we've walked that the same thing's occurred. We never have seen this at all - Boy, that's going to make a good picture, Pete. Never seen this at all on the area we were before. Hey, that looks nice. There's really quite a contrast there between the - -
CC: Roger, Al. We copy that; you think it could be the Sun angle?
UNKNOWN: Listen. No, not at all. This is definitely a changeto light gray as you go down, and the deeper Pete goes - he's down about 4 inches now - it still remains this light gray. It's - this soil must be of a different makeup than that we were on outside the crater, because we have to - - iCONFIDENTIAL
CDR: Say, this is different than around the spacecraft, because we've kicked up all kinds of stuff around the spacecraft and it's all the same color - -
LMP: Top and bottom, this is quite a bit different.
CDR: But this soil looks like it -
LMP: I tell you what we should do here, Pete.
LMP: Why don't you dig deep - -
CDR: Deep?
LMP: Yes, dig as deep as you can, then get me a sample right out of the bottom, because this will be something new. I'11 put it in sample bag number 5-D.
CDR: Kind of hard to get down in there - -
CC: Al, we copy 5-D. And would you give your location relative to the center of head crater? Specifi- cally, are you just on the west side of it, where we have the triple crater?
LMP: We aren't; we're on the northwest corner of it - -
CDR: Right where you told us to go, Houston.
LMP: Give me another shovelful there, Pete.
CC: Roger. You should be very close to that triple crater.
CDR: Triple crater. Well, there's one crater right here - -
LMP: There's a couple of craters right over the rim here; we're sort of - Pete's down now about - -
CDR: That's not a good one, Al, let me get another one - -
LMP: - - down about 6 inches and - looks just light gray down there. Now, in the bag, you'11 f_nd there's some darker gray material that fell in off the side.
LMP: Hey, I want to - -
CDR: Let's throw this little rock in that I dug up from down deep.
LMP: Is that a rock?
CDR: Get another sample bag.
UNKNOWN: Ail right.
CDR: That's a good one, because I don't want - -
LMP: Well, wait a minute; let me get a picture of it first.
CDR: I dug it u_ out of a hole. It's hard to keep this soil in the bag. Stereopair. Okay, in bag D.
UNKNOWN: There's, of course, a little of the top soil mixed in because the sides collapsed. Angle of repose is about 85 degrees, but - -
CDR: The minute you bump the side, it falls in.
UNKNOWN: - - it's not cohesive at all, even though it - it seems to remain nearly vertical; I guess it's the low gravity. Hey, that's a nice rock. Pete just handed me a rock from the bottom of the hole, and it's covered with graM: I can't see - a_uything in it other than just the gray dirt covering, soil covering. Let me get a final shot, Pete.
CDR: Okay. ONFIDEN .
LMP: Okay. As you move off, Pete, every once in a while, I can see some white; but, most of the time - Hey, you kicked over a rock that had a white bottom - quite a bit different than the top. Right behind you; you might - you might want to take a picture of that. It's quite a bit dif- ferent than those others.
CDR: Houston. You're going to have to budget our time now. How long do you want us to spend it - in head crater?
LMP: Because it looks like we could just spend all our time here if we wanted to - -
CDR: That's what's bothering me; we could do that any place right here on the Moon.
CC: Pete, we show that you're 58 minutes into the EVA, and we'd like to get you over to bench crater, and leaving there something on the order of 1 plus 12; we can slip that a bit. So, we sug- gest you finish up where you are - what you're doing there at head and move on.
CDR: Okay. Al, where's the map?
LMP: Got the map right here, Pete. Let you take a look at this.
CDR: By the way, this is the smartest idea we came up with, Houston; this map just works great out here.
LMP: Okay, let me take a picture of this rock. I'm going - -
CDR: This isn't going to show much.
LMP: Let me - let me use your shovel.
CDR: Ail right. Now, I'm trying to find the triple craters they're referring to.
LMP: Kick it around - be right over - -
CC: Pete_ that triple crater is just south of your present position, and why don't you just go ahead and move on?
CDR: Okay. I got you.
LMP: Okay. Now, there's a good picture, Pete; let me get that one.
CDR: Okay, now, let me see which side is which.
LMP: T_eli, we've got it; turn over one of the rocks on the rim. The bottom part of the rock is gray, about a half of itl this rock happens to be about a 6-i_ch-diameter rock. I'11 give you stereo of it. And the top is the same color as the - -
CDR: Wait a minute. You got it in your shadow.
LMP: I do. Take another one. Pete, maybe you want it.
CDR: Even these rocks out in here - even the ones that are almost completely covered with the soil; if I look at them, I can see glints of crystals or something.
UNKNOWN: Yes, every one of them.
CDR: Ail right, let me have that.
UNKNOWN: There's your tube.
UNKNOWN: Ail right, we're going to head for bench crater.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Now, did we - We didn't get a PAN view, did we?
CDR: _'_o_and I'm going to get it when I get to the triple craters, which is right over here.
UNKNOWN: Sou_nds good.
CDR: They think they're right over here; I can't see them_ I've got to look over the hill.
UNKNOWN: Ail right. [ON FIDEN'!;;IA tl
CDR: Here they are. Ho, ho, ho.
LMP: Hey, things are quite a bit lighter gray up here on the top of the hill.
LMP: The ... we're approaching - -
CDR: Oh, look - look - at these craters, Al.
LMP: Boy.
CDR: Now, Houston, do you want head crater - from triple craters? Is that what you want or do you want the triple craters?
CC: Pete, we suggest you just move on to bench - and a comment on that double core tube; if you find a spot that looks soft, go ahead and sink the double core tube.
CDR: We'11 do it at bench. It's really a shame, Houston - -
CDR: - - we could - we could work out here for 8 or 9 hours. The work is no strain at all.
LMP: I took three quick pictures of triple craters, Houston.
CDR: We're not going to get to that other one - bench, is it; but that looks like a real interesting area in - on the far corner of bench, Al. See all those big rocks? Some of them look as if they could be bedrock out of somewhere.
LMP: I'm kind of wondering, we're passing up these here - and they got to be bedrock from somewhere; we need to get a pretty large-sized one here, be- fore we leave this area, Pete.
CDR: I'11 tell you what we'11 do is, I'11 stop right here and take a PAN.
CDR: How's that grab you?
UNKNOWN: Because these rocks obviously came out of the crater, because they're scattered more uniformly around it. There's a bur.ch of them on the rim and there's not many far away. We probably ought to grab a big one of them.
CDR: ... 4.
UNKNOWN: We're moving - straight south now.
UNKNOWN: There's an interesting rock; let's - Hey, that's all right; let's get it.
UNKNOWN: Let me reai your camera and you can read mine, if you would. Help them out a bit down there.
UNKNOWN: a minute. Okay, your camera right now is on 36. How about mine?
UNKNOWN: That's !6 also.
CDR: ,Okay, move.
UNKNOWN: Did you copy that, Houston? Every crater you come - -
CC: Roger. We got it, Al.
UNKNOWN: - - every crater you come to and look in, you see the glass beads. Move out of your way, Pete.
CDR: Okay, now. Back to rock-taking settings, 5 feet, f:$, 1/250th. Okay. Ail right, Al, where do you want to grab the sample here?
UNKNOWN: Right here, i'd like to grab that rock right there, because =_'s got kind of a sharp edge on it and all the rest of them are - I don't know, it's got kind of a - an oblique edge on it, and you don't see many like that arouzld here.
UNKNOWN: _ich one you mean? CONFIDENTIA:
LMP: This one right here, this gray one. It looks a little bit different than the rest.
LMP: No, right there, a little bit further - that one right there. I'11 just grab it and put it in the box, if we can pick _t up.
CDR: This one, the big one?
LMP: The big one.
CDR: Ho, ho, ho, wait until I get the pictures.
LMP: Okay. If we can do that, we can just put it in the bag. I think that's kind of a different - looking rock. This rock is different, Houston - just in the way it's shaped, and it's partly rounded and got some oblique angles on it. Maybe under all that dirt is something a little bit different.
LMP: Sorry.
CDR: That's all right. All right. Picking it up; don't sweat.
CDR: That a boy. We know you got the rock; that's what counts.
CDR: Okay, put it in the bag.
LMP: The thing that was giving it that unusual shape was the dirt that was adhering to it (laughter). _nat's okay; we'11 take it back with us.
CDR: Good rock. this crater, Houston. So, it will be a good sample for us.
UNKNOWN: I'd say in the area we're moving along now as we head south - is, what do you say, Pete, there's about 5 percent rocks?
CC: _'_' Something like th_, yes, they go anywhere from 2-1/2, 3 feet all the way down to small fragments.
UNKNOWN: That's right. There's even one by you there that's 3 feet that's ... - Look at the fillets around that rock.
CDR: Look, that's deep fillets ... - -
LMP: That's a beauty. Wait a minute; I'd better stop and get that. Hold the tongs.
CDR: Okay, let's do; let's - - sides. Have to watch - The trouble is - There you go- that's a - that's a good rock. Hey, look at the pits in it, too. That's obviously been struck a lot by - meteoroids; this is going to be a good rock, Houston. It's about 3 feet in diam- eter, about 2 feet thick - -
CDR: Got to back around it.
UNKNOWN: - - well-rounded, got a - lot of surface pits in it. i can see the glitter -
UNKNOWN: I _ot to hack off to 15 feet on this one.
CDR: Get a good stereosair.
UNKNOWN: tc fall down in the crater behind me '-_'_ _1,_ a minute. %here; CIONFIDENTI.AL
LMP: Don't back up - -
CC: Roger, Al. We copy that. Are you able to find any chips from that rock in the near vicinity?
LMP: This is not unlike all the other rocks around here, Houston. All the rocks are just about -
CDR: Al, did you get some off the far side - of that?
LMP: Yes, let's get that. That's a good idea. Ail the rocks we've been looking at, Houston, in this area, seem to be the same. They seem to have a - The rock has got dirt built up on all sides of it, all directions.
CDR: Sure does; looks about equal too, doesn't it?
LMP: It looks about equal; that's right. Very interest- ing. I don't know what the means of transport, but it's - it's just built up around it.
CDR: Here's something here. Go ahead. I want to look here, for a second.
LMP: If you look real closely at the rock, the surface of it is coarse pitted and there's some pits that are maybe even up to three-eighths of an inch in diameter on it; however, most of them are small. It doesn't look like a basalt, although the grains are too small for me to see anything - identify any specific one. Some of the pits have glass in it, which is not too surprising_ and many of them don't. That's about all we can say about that rock, Houston, and that's typical of the - of the ones in this area.
CC: Roger, Al. Could you give us a sample bag number and then press on?
LMP: Okay. Well, we didn't take a sample there. The couple that we did take a sample of previously are the same types, so the last couple of samples have been of the same type rocks that we're dis- cussing.
CDR: Okay, Houston, I'm coming up on bench crater right now. i loped off and left Al. And i'11 get you a PAN in bench crater. This looks like a very in- teresting crater; it's different. Oh, and I see some really different rocks - a big one. Hey, that looks like bedrock. Gee, what a cra_er. Wow. Oh, boy. Hey, Al, look at - Come on over here.
UNKNOWN: i'm corning.
CDR: Ougiit to get some of this. Let me get some cans in there. Al.
CC: Sounds interesting, And, Pete, sounds as though 'you're getting down to bedrock. Is that affirm?
CDR: Yes. They got to be bedrock, and this one in the bottom is - As a matter of fact - -
CDR: _oy, there's some big fragments around here. is melted in the bottom of it. I - can't swear that, but I'11 get you some pictures. Starting right now. f:8 - B - I - fix. Okay. Let me go ever on the other - little bit here. Get you a good P._.
UNKNOWN: Yes. This rock looks pretty much the same from a distance, Houston. -
UNKNOWN: Yes, there's -
UNKNOWN: Soil.
CDR: - - we kicked out of this crater.
LMP: I'm just sorry you guys - -
LMP: - - aren't all here. %._at
CDR: a fantastic sight. Al, look in the bottom of that crater.
LMP: Ney, look aS that. -ON_F4 EN$1
CDR: Do you think that stuff melted or what? What's that look like to you?
LMP: Well, it looks to me - Those rocks look - What it looks to me like is, we've got one of those central - little bitty central peaks, you know - little rebound there, like the - -
CDR: Yes. But don't _hey look melted on the top? Don't they look like they've been - they were molten? They're not - they're not completely jagged.
LMP: No, they're not; it's hard to tell. I noticed when I was looking at that rock back there, up real close, that it had been hit by meteoroids so much, I guess, it had given it a rounded appear- ance, something like those in the hole, except there's a couple over there, like you say, that don't look that way. We ought to grab one of these pieces of - -
CDR: - - me, I want to cover the ground.
LMP: Okay. I'm going to beat your ...
CDR: You can baloney about it all day long in the LRL; the name of the game is to get the business done.
CDR: One potato - ... potatoes; there's another one.
CDR: Look at that baby; that rock looks a little dif- ferent.
CDR: Okay. I don't think - don't think it's going to fit. Let's put it in one of these bags. It'11 fit in there, Pete.
LMP: It's going to go in sample bag ... 4. I think it's - - in there.
UNKNOWN: Ch, it won't fit in there, Pete; that box is too big. eicture of it, so we can tell where it's from - -
UNKNOWN: a super rock.
UNKNOWN: - why don't you pick up two or three others - little ones, and put them in 64 here, from that s_me area? Here, all this - all this stuff is from head crater - -
CC: Copy. Sample 64.
CDR: - - from - ... rock. Get some here that we took the picture of.
UNKNOWN: Yes. Wait a minute.
UNKNOWN: i got that in the picture.
CDR: Okay. Hay not have.
UNKNOWN: notice that underneath this soil on the rim, too, it's the light gray.
UNKNOWN: Look. See that stuff over - Let's go over to that corner and tFy to get a - break off a piece of that big rock, hub.?
UNKNOWN: Le_'s dc that. Okay, I'm putting 6_ in there, Houston. There are a couple of small rocks that we jusv picked up from the area we've been dis- cussing. It doesn't - I don't think they appeared in the photo, but that won't make any difference. It's ou=_ ts_pical of the other rocks around here. gONFIDENTtA
CDR: Holy Christmas! What's this? Look at this, Al. We're kicking up the same sort of light gray.
LMP: Apparently, on the rims here, you get that light gray, out in the - -
CDR: No, no, look at this stuff.
CDR: Hey, that's interesting.
CDR: What do you suppose that is?
CDR: Hey, we can't - Here's something interesting, Houston. Hey, it looks like a surface - What we got is what looks like kind of a semiburied rock. Hey, there's a small piece of it over there to the left. See it, Pete? We'11 be able to catch it and put it in the bag.
LMP: See that over there?
LMP: What it looks like is a - a buried rock, not unlike the others around here, except it appears to have some sort of coating on it that's very iridescent. A lot of crystals shining in it - -
CDR: I'11 tell you what's happened is it - it - it's been laying in the ground and it's been hit by another fragment.
LMP: Think so?
CDR: Yes. Look at the glass beads, too. They're all over the place.
CDR: Okay, you want to - you want to catch that - -
CDR: - - piece over there and I'11 put it - - CONFIDENTI 6
LMP: Yes, let me get the - let me get the - the sample of it.
CDR: Sample in sample bag ... - the numbers.
CC: Copy, 7. And would you go ahead and give us some picture numbers, also?
LMP: Okay. We'11 give you some in Just a minute. Pete's picking up a small piece of this rock. Maybe you could get a piece that's fractured right off the middle.
CDR: That's what I wanted to do.
CDR: Okay. Let me get out of your way so you can see it. Let me hand you the scoop - There it is, right there. Okay.
CDR: It's got an interesting coating on it; it's dif- ferent from what we've seen. Maybe this is more newly exposed - struck ...
LMP: Is that all you want to put in that bag?
CDR: Listen. Hand me the scoop - -
CDR: - - let me get some of those glass beads and stuff there - -
LMP: Ail right. Let me get you the scoop.
CDR: Okay. How long have we been going, Houston?
LMP: Got it, Pete. 1 plus 15.
CDR: No, more than that.
CC: Pete, we show you're 1 plus 14 into the EVA, and we'd like you to move on from this crater at about 1 plus 27. If you could, then, go on down and take a look at the bedrock on the bench. ©NFIDENTI
LMP: Hey, I - I'd better not put that in there; that's what we wanted to show, was the - -
LMP: Let me get you another sample bag.
CDR: I hate to try and get down to the bottom of this fellow; it's awful steep.
LMP: Yes, I don't think we want to do that.
CDR: In fact, I couldn't get down in there.
LMP: Let's forget that - -
CC: Okay. Then hold off on that; don't go ahead.
CDR: But - but - but I'm going to get you -
CC: Negative on the request.
CDR: - - We're trying to get you some of the bedrock; it looks like it's up in the lip here. Ail of it looks the same - on the edge, Houston.
LMP: I'm working on it; I'm working on it.
CDR: It's 8-D.
LMP: Ridiculous, Pete!
CDR: What happened to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?
LMP: (Laughter) Catch you another one, okay? What we're putting in here now, Houston, is some soil that's right next to the rock that we previously described; in fact, Pete's got a nice fragment of that rock that's going to end up in this bag, too. Oh, catch that one.
CDR: Oh - ooo.
LMP: That's a beauty. That thing is barely - a weak - it fractures right off - -
CDR: (Laughter) , CONFIDEN' ' 6
LMP: You've got to get some control there, babe; you're overpowering it. This one-sixth g up here, Houston; you lift something up in your scoop; and, when you stop the scoop, it Just keeps going up in the air.
CDR: I'11 tong it (laughter) if I can't do it the other way.
LMP: Looked good, though. Okay. Put that in the bag. There you go.
CDR: We need to put more samples per - in the bag.
CDR: And they're saying they can't hardly use those little ones.
CDR: They won't fit in it any bigger.
LMP: Thank you. Okay?
CDR: Okay. Let's go over here and get some of this good rock. Like bedrock to me.
CDR: Looks a lot like the fragments we've been seeing laying all over the place, but this stuff obvi- ously - I'11 bet you we have a total of about 3 pounds of rocks right now.
LMP: Okay. I'm with you.
CDR: Okay. We're going to have to grab some bigger ... better ones.
CDR: Got to dip down in the side of the crater there; see how it is going up and down - -
LMP: Yes - it would be - down - -
CDR: Boy, this is interesting here; I want to get this area right here and see if I can't sample it - - ONFIDENTI
LMP: Good move.
CDR: - - if I don't fall down in the crater. Go. That's a boy. Well, this is different; look at this, Al; this is different; we'11 get some of this.
CC: Al, Houston. Over.
CC: Al, we'd like you to go to intermediate flow for a minute and a half. We'11 give you a call.
LMP: Okay. What's the problem?
CC: We're looking at a slightly lower than nominal feedwater pressure.
LMP: Okay. Been cooling real fine. Look at the glass all over those rocks.
CDR: Yes. I need to -
LMP: I want to bring this back; look at it.
LMP: Here, let me put this - put that in there.
CDR: If you fall, it's going to fall.
CDR: Let me get up here. Okay?
LMP: Watch it - it - You're going to -
CDR: Okay. Now, you're going to - I'm going to get a bunch of these.
LMP: Let's do; let's get a bunch of them and then they'11 - have any rocks to bring back.
CDR: Doing the best I can.
CDR: There you go; there's a good one. Put that thing in here.
LMP: Except I'm closing the bag, but we'11 make it work.
CDR: I had to take that big piece right there .... of it got spattered glass or something all over it.
CDR: Let's take it. Why don't we take a big piece of it? And - sample bag - what's wrong with these sample bags, whether they're the - the round ones, or the square ones, or the flat ones, they're all the same size. What you need are sample bags - little ones for these and some big ones for the bigger rocks. Okay, 9-B is the sample we Just picked up and described, Houston.
LMP: Okay. Put this right in here, Pete.
CDR: No. Wait a minute; here's a better one.
LMP: Okay. Now, we are working on sample bag - 10-B.
CDR: 10-B. Wait for me.
CC: Roger. Copy 10-B; and, on your way out, would you get that partial PAN with a 75-foot base line?
LMP: We'11 sure do that, Houston - -
CDR: I already got the PAN.
LMP: Well, Pete says he's already got it.
CDR: Got a stereo partial PAN. Okay?
CDR: Okay. That's a good rock, and that fills that one up. QIDNFIDEN
LMP: Okay, Pete, what's your next pleasure?
