CDR-EVA: 8 to 10 degrees. And we can look back and see the whole - we can see the LM just as loud and clear as can be.
LMP-EVA: Agreed.
CDR-EVA: Gosh, I'11 tell you, this Rover is really something. Look at that.
LMP-EVA: Oh, Boy! Okay. I'11 take a pan.
CDR-EVA: And, Joe, when the TV comes on, you're going to get a superpicture.
CC: Yes, sir. We're standing by.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Going FM/TV, now.
CC: Okay, Dave. And we may ask you to dust our TV lens off. We'11 ask you to stand by for a reading on that.
CC: And, Rover, do you read Houston?
CDR-EVA: Yes, we read you, Joe. What did you - We'11 stand by for you. You read us okay?
CC: Yes, sir. You're loud and clear. And we're stand- ing by for the picture.
CDR-EVA: Yes. I have to get the antenna alined. It's going to take a little bit here.
CC: Roger. And just proceed with caution.
CDR-EVA: Sure. (laughing) I don't know why - Yes. I don't know why we always end up on slopes.
LMP-EVA: You know, I want to take a picture upslope, Dave, but I can't. I can't get the camera pointed up that way.
CC: Just do the best you can on that, Jim. No problem.
CDR-EVA: Okay. You've - you must have the picture now, or at least the antenna is pointed.
CC: Okay, Dave. We've got the data. And we're working on the picture.
CDR-EVA: Okay. An - and do you want a dust - Okay, do you want a dust Job?
CC: Stand by on the dust Job.
CDR-EVA: We're starting to move it now. Okay. Well, we're going to leave the Rover here and that's what I wondered - why I wondered.
CDR-EVA: Boy, what a view. Huh?
LMP-EVA: It's something.
CDR-EVA: Boy. Spectacular.
CC: And do we have a picture down here.
CDR-EVA: Hey, you couldn't, Joe, because the camera is pointed straight down.
CC: Roger. It's a closeup of the Rover wheel. (Laughter) And, it's still smoking.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jim. Let's get on with - seeing what's here - here at the front.
LMP-EVA: I'm with you.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Let's go up first, so we can come downhill. And, there's one of those fresh little craters.
CDR-EVA: Let's go sample that one.
LMP-EVA: Got glass in the bottom.
LMP-EVA: (laughter) I thought - I never thought we'd have a problem llke this - on the Moon, like we do on field trips, trying to maintain our balance.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I never did either.
LMP-EVA: Oh, boy.
CDR-EVA: It's a nice little crater, isn't it?
LMP-EVA: It sure is. --_
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'11 get you a bag. And, it looks to me like the best thing to do - would be to - scoop the side - scoop - scoop the center where the glass is. Oh, what a beautiful sight. You know, we're a long way from the LM. At least, we can see it.
LMP-EVA: Yes. That's encouraging. never
LMP-EVA: We did remark on that very white crater out there northwest of the LM, did we?
CDR-EVA: No, I don't think we did. It's really, really your white though, isn't it? Yes, I've got bag, and it's number 1 - -
UNKNOWN: we're going to the glass in the middle of it.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Start with the middle, and we'11 pick up the rim, too. 163.
CC: Copy 163.
UNKNOWN: It all felt kind of welded together.
LMP-EVA: More?
CDR-EVA: Hey, get me another load.
LMP-EVA: I hope it stays together for us.
CDR-EVA: Yes. That's good.
LMP-EVA: Like fragments all glued together. What am intrig - an intricate pattern.
CDR-EVA: Good, That's dandy.
CDR-EVA: Get you another one.
CC: Okay, Dave. And is that still bag number 1637
CDR-EVA: Yes. Yes, the next one coming up is 164. And, why don't you skip the rim there, Jim.
LMP-EVA: A little more?
CDR-EVA: Yes, let's get a good bag full.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. It's very fine light gray - the rim is. Very fine. the other one.
LMP-EVA: TV coming in good now, Joe?
CC: Roger, Jim. We've got a beautiful picture. We're trying to look into the Sun at the moment, somewhat unsuccessfully. But the TV is working beautifully.
LMP-EVA: You ought to look up toward - you ought to look up toward Mount Hadley. You can see the - that linor - linear pattern.
CC: Roger. We'11 take a look, and thanks for the re commendat ion.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jim. Let's find ourselves a couple of frags down here. Here's a - there are three within easy range over here.
LMP-EVA: Frags show up pretty good down front, don't they?
CDR-EVA: Ah huh. Okay. Let's see.
LMP-EVA: We could go after some little ones but -
CDR-EVA: Right there in front of you, Jim. That big one. Get - get that one.
CC: Okay, Jim. And are you still scooping samples?
LMP-EVA: We're - we're sampling a rock right now.
CC: Roger. And, we know you're picking up the repre- sentative ones.
LMP-EVA: Get me a -
LMP-EVA: The number on this bag is 188.
CC: Roger, Jim. Copy 188. And have you noticed a variety of rock types or Just one general kind?
CDR-EVA: Okay. Let us go through them, Joe, as we pick them up, because we can't tell any difference as they sit on the surface. They're all covered with 93/39 Tape dust. And, the first one here is a fine-grained breccia - a microbreccia. And, it's got - it looks like a third order with white clasts in it. The matrix is dark black, and it has glass within a fracture on the side. Not unlike some of the 14's.
LMP-EVA: I'11 put some soll in.
CDR-EVA: Get that other frag right next to it, Jim. Here let me - I'11 - I'11 get it. Okay, good boy.
CDR-EVA: And, Joe, the - the soil is very powdery here.
CC: Roger. Copy, Dave.
LMP-EVA: It Just looks the same - Just the ... here.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Same thing. Some kind of fragment.
CDR-EVA: Okay. You give me the bag, and why don't you take a little scoop right there by the side of the - -
CDR-EVA: - - where those two were.
UNKNOWN: Boy.
LMP: I - I got to get back uphill. I've got most of it, I think.
CDR-EVA: That's good. That's fine.
CDR-EVA: Okay, 188, to confirm again.
LMP-EVA: Dave, there's one upslope with a flat side.
LMP-EVA: Maybe we could take that back as - take it back as a large one. Do you want to wait until we get over to a fresh crater? _-_
CDR-EVA: Let's wait until we get to a fresh crater.
CDR-EVA: See if we can get some more typic - Here's one down here - to your right.
LMP-EVA: Yes. I see it, too.
CDR-EVA: Let's Just make a little circle around the old Rover here and find some variety.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Okay; this is a fairly large subangular _ fragment, which is about 20 percent buried. I'm not sure we'11 get that in the bag.
LMP-EVA: I don't think we will, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Well, we've got it anyway. See what it looks like here.
UNKNOWN: Ah ha.
CDR-EVA: On the bottom - See, it looks like - a light gray microbreccia with some white clast of millimeter size in it, and that's about all. And, the bottom side has slickensides. And I do see some glass spattered on one side. And I also see - one little - looks like an orange crystal in there - like it might be a little piece of olivine. It's got definite reddish-orange color to it. --_
CDR-EVA: Get the picture before I step in it.
CDR-EVA: See if we can get this - oop -
LMP-EVA: I'm sorry. Do you want to try putting it in the bag?
CDR-EVA: This is definitely a different kind of breccia, Joe. It - it's only got light-gray millimeter- size clasts in it, with a fine-grained gray matrix. In the clast, there are about - gee, I'd say 10 percent of the total frag. So it's - it's somewhat different. Here, I can hold it with both hands, if you can stick it in. Let me hold the bag.
CDR-EVA: If you can get the thing in there.
CDR-EVA: Watch my helmet with your - Okay. I've got - -
LMP-EVA: I don't think we will make it, Dave.
CDR-EVA: I - I don't think so either. I got it. Let go, let go ....
CDR-EVA: Okay. That's going in your collection bag as a single. And, I think you can remember it, Joe. Sorry about the bag; it Just fell. I let it go. It's got slickensides on it.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jimbo. Keep going around the old Rover here, and see if we can find another interesting looking one.
CDR-EVA: As you can see, probably, with the TV, Joe, there Just isn't much in the way of debris around here. It's all -
CC: Roger, Dave. We agree. Good description and - -
CDR-EVA: ... Hey, there's one.
CC: - - we might - set you out a little later looking for a fresh crater that's brought up some frags for us.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Jim, there's one sitting on top of this little crater over here. Reckon you can get over here to it. _-_
LMP-EVA: Yes. I was trying to recover that bag, but I gave up on it.
CDR-EVA: Oh, we got plenty of bags. Don't sweat the bags, we got more than we'11 ever - even need.
CC: And, Jim, on your pan, were you able to sweep around the full B60 degrees?
LMP-EVA: Yes, I have a pan. I'11 take another one probably before we leave the area, so you get a little stereo effect.
CC: Beautiful. We've got film to burn.
CDR-EVA: Oh, man. This is an interesting one, I think.
LMP-EVA: You can tell we sank in about 2 or B inches ... mat eri al.
CDR-EVA: Jim, I would say that this - that this fragment here hit right before its position. You see that little spot? See that little spot right there in front ?
CDR-EVA: I think that rock hit there.
LMP-EVA: Yes. You can convince me of that.
CDR-EVA: And it - We'11 Just have to take a look at it. We can get the pictures here. Wonder from whence it came. If it - if it did hit there it was traveling - -
LMP-EVA: Traveling west. 9B/4B Tape
CDR-EVA: Yes. East to west, and it left a little mark about a foot from its present position. And its present position is on the surface, to about 4 inches, sub- it. As a matter of fact, I'11 see if I can't get a closeup of the little spot that it hit here. Now, if I can lean down. Okay. Did you get the down-Sun, Jim?
CDR-EVA: Now, pick it up.
LMP-EVA: That stuff is really soft.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Help me get it with the scoop. That a boy.
LMP-EVA: I'11 try. I'11 throw it up, and you catch it.
CDR-EVA: Any luck at all?
CDR-EVA: Okay. Let me get down here. Let me use my tongs - to pick it up.
CDR-EVA: Okay; good.
CDR-EVA: Hey, hold it right there. Up a little more. I got it.
CDR-EVA: Man, it's really covered. But it's a very rough surface, very sharp, basically a subangular rock, but with quite a Jagged, craggy surface on it. And I can see some spots in there. I guess I'd Just have to call it a breccia. It'11 never fit in there. Just let me put it in your bag.
CDR-EVA: And I think we have it fairly well documented. It's in collection bag number 3, which will help you keep track of it.
CDR-EVA: They're either big ones, or they're little small ones. Okay; got the picture.
LMP-EVA: There's a crater over to the west, Dave, that has a very light albedo that's - -
CDR-EVA: Yes, let's head that way with the Rover when we get going.
CC: Okay. Dave and Jim, when - -
CDR-EVA: Straight ahead of us. Right here.
CC: - - you reach a good stopping point, we've got a couple of questions.
CDR-EVA: While you're asking them, I think I'11 take another pan.
CC: Okay, Dave - or Jim. It sounds good - -
CDR-EVA: Okay. Very good ....
CC: And, Dave, while he is doing that, could you tell us how far away and in what direction is the large block which you described?
CDR-EVA: Yes, Joe. We intend to head in that direction. It's right now - due west. It's probably, oh, 3/lOths of a kilometer or something. And I think it's on the same slope - maybe upslope a tad from where we are now, but not to much. And on the way, there's a nice fresh light-albedo crater, maybe a couple of meters across. So maybe we ought to pick up those two.
CC: Okay. Copy. You can see towards the west a light-albedo fresh crater. As you look back towards - Okay. Sounds good. We copy that. Thank you.
CC: And, Dave, auother question. Do you think this is a good area for a rake sample?
CDR-EVA: No, Joe. Definitely not.
CDR-EVA: It's got far - there's nothing here. We - -
CDR-EVA: - - ... spinning our wheels.
LMP-EVA: Hey, swing around and get the down-Sun, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Here, let me get it. I - I'm in a better position, Jim.
CC: Dave, do you think that that fresh crater you're looking at might be Spur Crater? We put your present position as halfway between Window and Spur.
CDR-EVA: No, I - I don't think. It's too small, Joe. I think we picked up Spur as we went back - went by a little while ago. We saw it.
CC: Okay. We agree with you exactly here, Dave and Jim. And we want you, when you leave this station, to move back towards the west. In other words, to- wards the direction of the rille, and looking especially for fresh craters.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. Okay; another little microbreccia. Bag number is 190.
CDR-EVA: You can take another. Get this other one here.
CDR-EVA: Oh, boy. Look at the bottom of that, Jim.
LMP-EVA: All glassy, isn't it?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I hope. Glass all over the bottom of that one. And it looks like another microbreccia. And I don't see any pits in any of these, at all. -_ I do see a couple of glass - yes, there, this one's got a couple of very small glass-filled pits, but most of them are pitless. Okay; 190.
LMP-EVA: Did you put any other soil in it?
CC: Roger. 190.
LMP-EVA: - - ... It's typical.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. I took the down-Sun from a different side on this one - I mean the cross-Sun from a different side on this one. Do you want to ... that? Okay. And want to stick that in my bag and - -
CDR-EVA: Let's go down and take a look at this little crater right here. There's a little small crater, I guess you can see, Joe, at about 2 o'clock to the TV now. And - -
LMP-EVA: There you go. Having trouble getting up with it.
LMP-EVA: No, I Just got the bag opened.
CDR-EVA: Oh, really?
LMP-EVA: Up on a mound.
CDR-EVA: Well, let me get down. Okay?
CDR-EVA: Okay. Okay; let's move down here. Downhill, with care. Now, it looks like the same - Look down at the bottom of that crater - another little crater with a bunch of debris in it.
CDR-EVA: If I could find a spot on the side here - -
CDR-EVA: Hey, look at the little bench on this one. 93/47 Tape
LMP-EVA: Yes, I was going to remark about that on the - the downslope side.
CDR-EVA: Yes. I took a picture of it.
CC: Jim, it's about time for a stem christy.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) I need a snowplow.
CDR-EVA: Jim, I'd suggest we go down to that little bench.
LMP-EVA: Yes. We could actually walk in. We could do a radial sample.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Boy, look at how this zero phase just wipes everything out. Man. We can get this here easy - because we don't want to go too far downhill, be- cause we don't have ... climb back up to our Rover friend. Jeeper, this - They're all too big.
LMP-EVA: Notice you're kicking up some white material there, Dave ?
CDR-EVA: No, I didn't notice. Hey, you're right.
LMP-EVA: We ought to trench it.
CDR-EVA: You're right. Sure should.
CC: Good idea, Jim. Sounds great. A trench sounds great.
CDR-EVA: Trench sounds great. Okay.
UNKNOWN: Trench or a core?
CC: Yes, sir. A single core would be nice. They're always nice.
LMP-EVA: You guys are easy to please today.
CDR-EVA: Why don't we go to the upper rim up there and pick up the core, Joe - Jim, on the way back up?
CDR-EVA: Let's get this - this fragment here - or a bunch of these little ones I guess.
CDR-EVA: So much dust - on the camera, it's hard to read the settings.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I think the big one is too big to put in, as usual. Of course, we'11 never be satisfied with that, but I'11 take some of these others.
CDR-EVA: I think they're the same. Dust off a little bit. Another breccia.
LMP-EVA: Bag number is 192.
CDR-EVA: Hold it and I'11 get a bunch of these frags right here.
LMP-EVA: Not much glass.
CDR-EVA: Okay. That ought to do it. Why don't you close it up, and I'11 - put it ... here. Dying to look at that big rock.
LMP-EVA: Put this in your bag.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Let me borrow your hammer Just a - I'11 take one whack and see if it will come open.
CDR-EVA: The visibility - Hold my tongs, please. Let's see if we - it's got any variety up here.
CC: Not bad at all.
LMP-EVA: - - ... friable to what you're trying to get.
CDR-EVA: Sure is. Not bad for a beginner. Okay. Give me the tongs, and let's Just get another bag and pick up those two little frags there. What do you say? _
CDR-EVA: Evidently your TV is working okay today, Joe. Is that right?
CC: It's beautiful, Dave. Either that or it's another ESP experiment.
CDR-EVA: Okay. A microbreccia with millimeter white clast, and there's a gray clast in there that's about 3 millimeters. It looks a little different. Let me go down and get this other one that came up.
LMP-EVA: And 193 is the number on the bag.
CC: Roger. Copy 193. And we're standing by when you start the trench.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Well, would you like a trench or a core, Joe? We'11 give you your choice today.
CC: We'd like one of each, if we could, Dave.
CDR-EVA: A trench and a core?
CDR-EVA: Okay. We'11 go up and trench it first and see if it's worth coring.
CDR-EVA: Let's go up on the up - the upper rim up there, and work our way back up to our Rover friend.
CMP: Hello, Houston. Endeavour reads you loud and clear.
CC: Reading you loud and clear likewise.
CC: Al, if you have time to listen, I have some - news bulletins down here; and, somewhere in the middle, I'11 break in for the HIGH GAIN ANTENNA, AUTO.
CMP: Okay, Karl; go ahead.
CC: Right. This is the morning national and world news - the world being, of course, the planet Earth. President Nixon, yesterday, declared his admlnis- tration is determined to revitalize the American country - -
CC: Go ahead. I missed that one; Al, say again.
CMP: That's your world right
CC: That's right; that's our world.
CMP: Our world's up here right now, Karl.
CC: (Laughter) I - I'11 give you some news bulletins on that at the end. Things are coming along good in the EVA. Okay. President Nixon was what - he was at ceremonies dedicating a dam in Iowa, and he said the economic potential of rural areas must be developed, quote, "so that the people who live there can be first-class citizens enjoying a first- class way of life." Unquote. In the labor area, about _000 Houston area steel workers are expected to be off the Job today in a nationwide strike against nine major companies. steel That's be- ginning to loom as a pretty big factor in economic world down here. Senator Mansfield said Saturday chances are good that the Senate will reach an agreement to stop t_lking and speed up a vote on a bill to rescue Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. The President of Pakistan has accused neighboring India of continued artillery strikes across the border and said, quote, "We are very near to war with India;" a very sad note there. And Senator Edward Kennedy and Senator Edmond Muskie are tied for the top spot in the latest Democratic standings, according to the Gallup Poll. I'm sure you'11 be fascinated. And, in the world of sports, in foot- ball, the Houston Oilers lost their first exhibition game to Los Angeles, 17 to 6. In baseball, the Astros won for a change, and beat the Expos 6 to _; and in golf, Jack Nicklaus and Arnie Palmer -_ shot a total of 6_ to take a four-stroke lead in the PGA National Team Championships in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Okay, and we are ready for HIGH GAIN, AUTO, Al.
CC: Up on your planet, the latest word is that the functioning functioning Rover is still - brilliantly, and the fellows are well into EVA number 2 and Just recently passed Crescent Crater and Dune Crater - well on their way to exploring the Front at Hadley Delt a.
CMP: Sounds great.
CC: Yes, everything's doing great, both in orbit and on the surface. Everybody is very pleased.
CMP: Okay, Karl, if you're through with the news, let me give you some words on Tsiolkovsky.
CC: Great, we're listening.
CMP: Okay, I'11 take the items one at a time as they come. First off, the central peak. The central peak is - is a very large - spur peak on the - on the south and east sides, getting blocky on the north side; and there's what appears to be some layering visible on the - on the south and west exposed scarp of the peak, dipping to the north at about 30 degrees.
CC: You're coming through loud and clear.
CMP: The - Okay. The light material - light-colored flow material - around the edges of the - of the basin - texture appear to be nothing more than just simple mass wasting off of the edges - or off the - off of the rims around the basin. The rims themselves are quite - cut with the mass wasting in a - oh, I'd say an extent of about 330 degrees on the north, east, and south sides. Now, on the west side, the rim there is a very, very, large, clean scarp; and when I say clean, it goes almost from the basin floor to the - to the rim itself in one large chunk. And that scarp appears to define the limits of a couple of fault zones that go through that rim of Tsiolkovsky. It was kind - it - I couldn't trace the fault zones beyond Tsiolkovsky from the vantage point I had very well, but they're very distinct in the wall itself. And one falt zone coincides or - occurs in the same location as the su - southernmost edge of what ap- pears to be a rock glacier extending northwest into Fermi_?_. Now, that rock glacier has all the flow- bending and the - and the loping toes characteristic of what we consider a rock slide; however, one - one - feature about that slide that I mentioned before is that it has what looks like fairly fresh crater imp - impacts on the slide itself and seems to have more impacts - in other words, a higher density of craters - than the - than the surround- ing floor of Fermi, although Fermi looks - the floor looks much older - it's much smoother, more like a cayly formation.
CC: Roger, Al; we're copying.
CMP: Looking - Okay. Looking more to the south, I see no evidence of another rock slide to the south. The pictures might indicate - might hint at some kind of a rock slide there, but it appears that it's - that it's more eJecta now. The picture doesn't clearly show the eJecta from Tsiolkovsky, but the ejecta pattern and the flow - the flow lines are - at least observable around the most of Tsiolkovsky, and the ones that we see on the south and west side of Tsiolkovsky seem to be more eJecta than anything else. I couldn't see any distinct unit there that could have been a flow, such as the one in the northwest corner. And it - it appears that what lineaments there are in that particular part of the - of the ejecta are merely e - ejecta patterns. Looking into Waterman, there is a small flow that goes into Waterman, but it doesn't come from Tsiolkovsky itself, and I couldn't locate the source of the flow, but it seemed to Just come down the side of Waterman and out into the basin. I do have some pictures of it; maybe we can tell from the pictures. But the - what looks like on the pic- ture, as you're looking at - at the picture in the landmark book, looking at the V-lA, Victor one Able, it looks like there's a - there's a - maybe a breach in the wall of Tsiolkovsky, between Tsiolkovsky and Waterman, possibly allowing some flow into Water- man. Well, visually that - that particular breach in the wall doesn't - doesn't show up. The terrain there is much more level than it would 93/53 Tape appear in the photo, and there is, definitely, elevation relief between Waterman and Tsiolkovsky. The flow does come from the direction - on the north side of Waterman toward Tsiolkovsky, and I guess my impression would be that it - that that flow came down the side of Waterman possibly out of some fracture or fault concentric to Tsiolkov- sky, but outside the basic rim itself.
CMP: One other conmnent, I guess. And that is, on the crater pair, Just north of Tsiolkovsky - there - the - the smaller of the craters on the west side apparently was - was an original crater, with an impact occurring alongside it. Now, that's a - that appears like mass wasting or some kind of a rock avalanche into the westernmost crater - into the smaller of the two craters, and the - the - the rim of the easternmost crater - I'm sorry - Reverse those directions; I'm looking at it upside down. The smaller crater is - is on the eastern side, has - has what looks like a rock slide in it. The larger crater on the west side has a fairly intact rim, being faulted in a couple of places where it crosses the rim of the crater to the west. But that rim is fairly intact. The rim that was apparently moved or obliterated by the most recent impact was the rim of the smaller crater to the west, and that's where all the rock debris is - has fallen into the crater on the west.
UNKNOWN: Okay, now, we go on to Picard.
CMP: Okay, Houston. Endeavour's coming up over Picard, and I thought I'd Just go ahead and talk while we're going over Pieard. First, talking about the color variations, Picard is a slightly different color than the rest of the mare basin. It's - I guess what I would consider Crisinm - a light brownish gray. Picard, itself, is - is - is more of a brown tone, and it has a darker halo around it. I can see some of the brown - material Just on the outside of the rim; and outside of that is some darker material that gradually turns into gray of Mare Crisis. Inside Picard, I can see - well, let's see now, let's count them - one, two, three, four, five, si - six distinct rings that go around the inside of Picard. And the - and the walls in Picard are very shallow. It looks like a very shallow, almost like a - a dish - kind of basin, and gently from the edges on in toward the center; and, as I say, I can count - five or six rings inside that are all concentric with the center of the basin. And I can see some definite layering in - in the - particularly in the upper boundary of the rim. Now, as opposed to - to - oh, let's - let's say Lick - Lick is - Lick looks like it's almost completely obscured - feature, now. It - it looks very much like a - collapse. All I can see is a little bit of a - of a ring, a color variation, with some positive relief. And then, inside the crater looks very much like outside - crater, as - far as the color and the texture is concerned. However, it does appear to slope gently in towards the center. Looks - Lick looks to me like a very large collapse feature, with the same kind of ma- terial both inside and outside the basin.
CC: Roger; we're - we're copying loud and clear.
CMP: And, I make the same comment about Yerkes. And I'm on beyond them now; I'm looking at Proclus now. And - may as well comment on Proclus while I'm here. Remember yesterday, we were talking about variations in the crater wall to - that - well, don't exactly know how to describe it, but there - there is a tremendous variation in the wall, which does line up with eJecta pattern. If - there's almost a straight wall on the side of Proclus that is minus an eJecta pattern. And then there is some break- - through directly in the middle of that - of that wall, which makes Proclus looks like it's almost a circular crater. However, the - the truth is that Proclus looks like a - a - an elongate crater with - with one wall steeping [sic] - dipping quite steeply into the crater. And that wall is oriented perpendicular to a line bisecting the excluded zone - dipping into the crater. And then right - right in the middle of that portion, it looks like there was a - a small - Well, a small piece of that wall was - was also ejected, but it - it was only at the top part of that - of that fault scarp. And so, if you look at it from the right angle, you can see almost a flat plate, which looks like it's cut right into Proclus, and to the - to the north and west of that flat plate is the Crater Proclus, and to the south and east is a small chunk out of the top of it that coincides with the - the - the cen- tral part of the excluded zone.
CMP: Hope you could understand all that, Karl. I had to talk fast and formulate as I went.
CC: Roger. It came through loud and clear, and I think it was quite understandable. Very good.
CMP: Okay; and I'm drawing a couple of little pictures of it to show you when I get back.
CC: Okay, Al; we have earthshine photography coming up in about 15 minutes. I'd better give you a pad on it, and I also have another pad for later photog- raphy on that page - or on the following page.
CMP: Okay. Okay, Karl. Stand by 1.
CMP: Okay, Houston. Go ahead with the earthshine pads.
CC: Roger. Earthshine pad at about 144 hours and 5 min- utes in your Flight Plan; the number is 144:10:32.
CMP: Understand 144:10:32.
CC: Roger; and on the next page, a map camera photo pad; take it.
CC: Start, 145:14:16; stop 146:13:56.
CC: The - did the map camera photo pad - -
CMP: Okay, I have my mapping camera photo pad.
CMP: Negative; you - you were cut out.
CC: Oh, Roger. Mapping camera photo pad. Start, 145:14:16, stop, 146:13:56.
CMP: Understand T-start, 145:14:16; T-stop, 146:13:56.
CC: Al, we've got 30 seconds until the mapping camera comes off. And then, i minute later, we start rewing up for the earthshine photos.
CMP: Roger, Karl.
CC: Okay, we start earthshine photos in about 20 seconds.
CMP: Roger, Karl; understand. And, listen, since I got all the lights turned out here, how about stepping me through the earthshine photos?
CC: Roger. Okay, we're plus 4 minutes right now in 6 seconds; four frames at 30-second intervals.
CMP: And, Kerl, I hope these all turn out, because this is the - the area on the last rev that I commented on all the lava flows, and we're right over them now taking pictures.
CC: Okay, after your fourth frame, you're going to change the shutter to 1/15th of a second. And - and then take four more frames at 30-second in- tervals. 1/15th.
CC: I'm sorry; I could have been counting time for you, too. We're coming up to plus 6 minutes, which should be about the fourth frame at the old setting. We'11 mark on 6 minutes.
CMP: Okay, got it.
CC: And I'11 call out times for you now, too. We go _ to 1/15th of a second. 93/57 Tape
CMP: Okay, I Just took one frame at 1/15th.
CC: Plus 30 seconds after your first picture.
CC: Take number 3.
CC: Take number 4, and change shu - shutter setting to 1/8th. 1/8th.
CC: Now we're going to take 10 frames at 30-second intervals. Give me a mark on your first one.
CC: Time for number 2.
CC: Take 3.
CC: Take 4.
CC: Take number 5.
CC: Take number 6.
CC: Take 7.
CMP: Roger; take 7, and I Just went past the spacecraft terminator.
CC: Say again? Roger; we copy.
CMP: Okay, I Just went by spacecraft terminator.
CC: Take 8.
CC: Take number 9.
CC: Take number 10. Change the shutter to 1/500th, cover the lens, and cycle one frame.
CMP: Oke_y; thank you. APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CDR-EVA: Right up here where it's nice and fresh.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Jimmy - Dig me a little trench when you get up here.
CDR-EVA: Make it okay?
LMP-EVA: Yes. Taking my time.
CDR-EVA: Good idea.
LMP-EVA: Look at those linear features on Hadley, Dave, if you get a chance - -
LMP-EVA: - - to look up there.
CDR-EVA: On Mount Hadley?
CDR-EVA: Oh, yesl MY word! Look it, they're dipping - to the northwest, right?
LMP-EVA: That's right, that's what I said.
CDR-EVA: Oh, yes! It's a big - looks like a big block tilted up on its side.
CC: Just like you called it, Jim - -
LMP-EVA: Sure does, Dave.
CC: - - and we're going to ask for 500-millimeter pictures of that when you get back to the Rover.
CDR-EVA: Boy, I was Just going to say, we'd better take some 500-millimeter pictures of it (laughter). Okay, Jim's trenching. Hey, the other side, Jim, I can't see you.
UNKNOWN: all right.
CDR-EVA: Need any help?
LMP-EVA: Yes, but I can't - -
CDR-EVA: Well, let me - I'11 move them around. You dig it that way; I '11 come around.
UNKNOWN: No, it's going to be too hard for you to get down in there, Dave.
LMP-EVA: I can trench it here.
CDR-EVA: ##* _ust right, right like you got it. Keep digging. Except you' 11 have to - That 's right - Okay, I can see it. That's fine. Boy, when you - when you put your scoop in, it smooths it out flat Just like plaster.
UNKNOWN: was goingto say like cement.
CDR-EVA: Yes. I can't - I can't see any layering because the - the scoop Just - -
LMP-EVA: Yes. It's all - very similar in color.
CDR-EVA: Can't tell whether - Nice and cohesive, it holds a straight wall very well. It 's very fine powder, Just like - graphite. (Laughter)
CDR-EVA: Okay. Well, why don't we call that a trench? Wouldn't that be nice if you could do that at Station 8?
LMP-EVA: Oh, I hope so.
CDR-EVA: Let me get this - Move to your left - and let me get over here. A little farther, Jim.
CC: Okay, troops. And we'11 be asking for an SESC from the bottom of the trench when you get it built.
CDR-EVA: Okay. 0op! How about a hand, old buddy?
CDR-EVA: Just get in front of me and give me your hand.
LMP-EVA: Okay; stand by.
LMP-EVA: Okay. That's it.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Thank you.
LMP-EVA: Get the pictures?
CDR-EVA: Yes. I think so. The rim, as all rims around are - very soft.
LMP-EVA: Did YgU hear him, Dave, he wants the SESC from the - the bottom of that.
UNKNOWN: Let me get a bag; I'11 sample the bottom.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'11 get your bag.
LMP-EVA: First scoop?
LMP-EVA: ... one.
CDR-EVA: Okay; that's good.
LMP-EVA: Okay; I'11 get the SESC now - -
CDR-EVA: No, listen. Hey, Joe, listen; we're going to go over to this fresher crater, we hope. Maybe we ought to get it there rather - unless you really need it here. Because there's the little trip back to the Rover.
CC: Dave, tht's affirm. You will be moving over towards the fresher crater, and stand by, I'11 get another reading on your core tube. Copy, you've gotten the SESC out of the bottom of the trench now. it. 166 the bag. We didn't get the SESC - -
CDR-EVA: - - we Just got a sample from the bottom of the trench. And since we - since we have to walk back uphill to the Rover to get the SESC - -
LMP-EVA: No, it's on your back.
CDR-EVA: Oh, Just do it.
CDR-EVA: I'm sorry. That's right.
CDR-EVA: Have at it.
CC: And Jim, if material has fallen into the trench, you might want to scoop it out again.
LMP-EVA: No, I don't think any has. We're very neat.
CDR-EVA: Watch it - Stand out of the - Don't get too far down in that - that there crater.
CDR-EVA: I'd Just scoop out the bottom and this side a little bit, Jim.
LMP-EVA: *** out the bottom, you say?
CDR-EVA: Yes, dig it a little deep - deeper, I think you can probably - get the thing deeper and -
LMP-EVA: You want me to hit bedrock, I know.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Okay; I can't see in the bottom of it, but go ahead. Dig her. Have a - have a scoop load. I think the wall collapsed on you. Okay?
CDR-EVA: Get your scoop up. That - that's it. That's it. That's good, Jim. That's about half - can you get another one? Hey, don't slide down in there, that - that's really slippery.
UNKNOWN: I noticed. 94/5 Tape
CDR-EVA: *** ..., that'11 be good. Okay ....
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's good. Boy, it's really easy to - pick it up - dump it out, isn't it?
CDR-EVA: *** you work yourself out of that crater to your left. If you try to come up like I did, you're -
LMP-EVA: Let's see, we probably ought to put that SESC in your bag.
CC: Good thinking, Jim.
UNKNOWN: Here. Give me the easy end. Good.
CC: And, Jim, did you get an after picture of that?
LMP-EVA: Hold that for me.
CDR-EVA: I'11 get it. I'11 - I'11 get it, Joe.
CC: Okay, Davy.
LMP-EVA: Okay; it's in.
UNKNOWN: I'11 take the scoop.
CDR-EVA: Okay. And if you'11 move out of the way, I'11 see if I can get in there and take the picture.
CC: And, Dave, while you're taking that picture, we'11 be asking for a core tube after that. We want you to use an upper core, because we only have one lower in the bag right now.
CDR-EVA: Very well, Joe, we'11 get you a core right here.
CC: Roger. The core, using an upper.
UNKNOWN: You know, it's unfortunate, Dave, that we didn't take that down at the lower rim where the white was -_-_. exposed. Here I don't see the white.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I didn't either. Maybe we ought to go back down there and do that.
LMP-EVA: You ... Seems like we'd save the core for some- place where there was definite layering.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I think so too. I don't think there's - yes.
CC: Jim, we've got that double left. Do you suppose you could drive a single core down where it's white?
LMP-EVA: Yes, sure, I'm sure we could.
CDR-EVA: Yes, we could. Let's go do that. Yes, let's go take advantage of what we know down there on the albedo.
CDR-EVA: Go ahead. Go ahead.
LMP-EVA: Yes. I'm right behind you.
CDR-EVA: By the fresh spot down there.
CDR-EVA: Okay; you sure see the change. *#* up on the high place here.
LMP-EVA: Above the bench. Let's try it right there.
CDR-EVA: Yes, boy, the soil is more granular here, too. Quite a difference from one side of the rim to the other.
UNKNOWN: I'm probably Just about out of film. Why don't you check with my MAG?
CDR-EVA: Yes, 180. Okay.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe. And you're suggesting using an upper here?
CC: That's affirmative, Jim, an upper.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Okay; I have it, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I don't think you'11 need your hammer, but I'11 get it anyway.
LMP-EVA: Yes, and I'11 get up on the uphill side here.
CDR-EVA: That's a good idea.
LMP-EVA: Okay; it's in position.
CDR-EVA: Okay; I got the picture. 07's the n,lmher, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Oh! (Laughter) Easy. Easy, ... Okay; all the - all the way in very easily with a push, Joe.
LMP-EVA: Be very - I wonder - -
CDR-EVA: Yes, it'11 be soft, bring it out - be gentle. Don't auger it; you'11 spill it.
CDR-EVA: You got it?
CC: Anything there?
LMP-EVA: Okay; I have it.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Watch out. Watch out. Jim, watch out. You're over by the bench now; don't go any farther backward.
LMP-EVA: Oh, I thought you meant I was about to lose the core.
CDR-EVA: No. Just don't step backward any farther. Wait, let me get the peiture - I'11 Just walk over there, Jim. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Okay; here's you cap.
CDR-EVA: Good core, Joe.
LMP-EVA: I like those cores like that.
CC: Yes, sir. So do we. That might even be a great core.
CDR-EVA: Never know. Put that in my bag. Don't step back- wards.
UNKNOWN: Hear you talking.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. I'd suggest that we drive on down to that white crater and take the 500's from there. And I can do 500's while Jim's taking a pan. How's that sound?
LMP-EVA: Okay; it's in, Dave.
CC: Okay, Dave. That sounds like a good idea. We'd like a frame count from you before you leave - -
CC: - - and Jim, you may be coming up on a MAG change, depending upon your frame counts.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Mine's 180.
CC: Roger. Better change it.
LMP-EVA: I wish you'd packed the slope a little better, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Yes - we'11 get them to do that next time. But look at the Rover tracks; I'm going to take some pictures of the Rover tracks here. And our boots - our boot prints, both. Look at the difference. That old Rover is light. than
LMP-EVA: It does a lot better we do.
CDR-EVA: Yes, it sure does. Much better.
LMP-EVA: Oh. (Laughter)
CC: A little something for the soil mechanics, sounds great. And we'd like for you to put several scoops of the soil in bag number 6 on the handtool carrier when you get back to the Rover.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Go ahead, Jim. Yes, that's a great picture but don't fall down.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) That'd be even a better picture. Do you know the surface here is harder than it was over at the - -
LMP-EVA: - - near the crater. At least you'11 get a com- parison. Boy, those chevrons do a good Job of compacting the soil.
CDR-EVA: Man, you know - (Laughter) - I'd sure hate to have to climb up here. (Laughter) Boy.
LMP-EVA: Yes, let's work ab - above the Rover from now on.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Well, you got to go up some time.
CDR-EVA: You'd never get here without this thing. Hey.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Joe wants scoops ef soil in - bag 6, huh? That the one on the back of the pallet - must be.
CDR-EVA: Yes, but that's - Hey. Why don't we put them in a s_mple bag, Joe? Why - -
CDR-EVA: I'11 get you a sample bag.
CC: Suit yourself, Dave, that sounds good.
LMP-EVA: ... the sample, I guess, the typical soil by the Rove r.
CC: And troops, before we leave this area, we want you to brush the LCRU and - the TV camera lens. We're running quite hot on the LCRU and think there must be a lot of dirt on it.
CDR-EVA: Okay. There - there is, Joe, it accumulates farily rapidly.
CDR-EVA: Why don't you - yes,,get the down-Sun and we'11 Just scoop - right here.
CC: And, Dave and Jim, we're after a large volume here, so shovel it in.
CDR-EVA: All right. Bag number 167. Beginning to shovel large volume.
UNKNOWN: Yes, I was saving myself for - Arbeit.
CDR-EVA: Maybe if you go uphill, Jim - you stand uphill.
UNKNOWN: happy to but it - -
CDR-EVA: Oh, okay. That's okay.
LMP-EVA: - - I ... to get a full - -
CDR-EVA: This is fine - this is - Sure, that's good.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) Trouble, a large volume means shovel it, but you can't very well transfer it.
CDR-EVA: Whoop! Easy, easy. Okay. Good. Good load - get another one.
LMP-EVA: About all I can put in there.
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's a large volume.
LMP-EVA: Hey, you're a champion bag shaker, Dave.
CDR-EVA: (Lam_hter) --_
CC: Yes, sir; yes, sir; three bags full. 94/11 Tape
CDR-EVA: You know what I like about doing the bag - bags up here, Jim; there's no air in them when you fold them up. Okay; and 167 goes in your bag.
CC: And, Dave, regarding your question on - -
CDR-EVA: After picture.
CC: - - the 500-millimeter camera, we want you to take those pictures from here, and Jim can be changing out his magazine while you take the big camera pictures.
CDR-EVA: Very well.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe. I copy.
CDR-EVA: I guess - I guess you're thinking of - the lighting might change over there and we wouldn't get them because of the - getting closer to - Looking up- Sun, huh?
CC: Quite possible, and we might want some more photos from there as well. We have the film.
LMP-EVA: Which MAG do you suggest for me, Joe?
LMP-EVA: *** more on Papa, yes.
CDR-EVA: Okay; Papa.
CC: And that's ... - -
CDR-EVA: That what you got, Joe, Papa?
CC: Roger. Or Oboe.
CDR-EVA: Well, let's get it on because we're Just stand - Or Oboe, huh? Okay.
LMP-EVA: I've got Papa out; we'11 go with Papa.
CC: Okay. And Dave, can you press on with those big camera pictures?
CDR-EVA: Surecan. Couldn't get them until I got the other film out though.
CC: Roger; agreed. And Jim, when you finish changing you can do dusting and cleaning of the LCRU.
LMP-EVA: You been using the big brush to clean that - the LCRU, Dave?
CDR-EVA: Yes, it works fine. Lens cover's off.
CDR-EVA: We'11 try about - 250 and an 8, huh? That sound all right to you?
CDR-EVA: Yes, the camera seems to be working all right. Ail right, I'11 get you - Oh, there's some outcrops up at the top.
LMP-EVA: Okay; MAG Papa's on my camera, Joe.
CC: Okay, Ji TM. Sounds good.
CC: And Jim, when you finish dusting, we've got some other tasks for you.
LMP-EVA: You'11 have to wait.
CC: Roger, we're in no hurry.
LMP-EVA: Dave, that MAG's on - behind the hand controller.
LMP-EVA: I guess you use the lens - lens brush on the TV.
CDR-EVA: On the - Yes, and it's right in there in that pocket. Don't open the pocket yet, Just pull it out, it comes out. That a boy.
UNKNOWN: Houston, are you going to watch my cleaning operation?
CC: Yes, sir. Looking right over your shoulder.
LMP-EVA: As you can see, it needed it.
CC: Roger, Jim. And could you dust our lens - -
UNKNOWN: Want me to clean this - now?
CC: - - while you are there, please?
LMP-EVA: Yes. Stand by. Try not to look at me, and I'11 clean you off.
LMP-EVA: Can you point up?
CC: Jim, clean the top of the camera first, please.
LMP-EVA: Would you point up a little bit? Oh, okay.
CC: Yes, that's beautiful. Oh, magnificent! That even made us blink down here.
LMP-EVA: Okay. The top's clean, if you'11 point up a little bit I'11 - clean your lens.
CC: Jim, could you give us a little help on the tilt, we seem to be hung up.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe. Point up, I'11 - Okay.
LMP-EVA: How does that look to you?
CC: Would you check the oil, too, please?
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe, I got the 500 pictures and - I took first - Mount Hadley; two horizontal strips up at the top where there are some outcrops, and probably the only two craters that I can see on the side of any sizable size. And then a vertical strip through one of the outcrops, and a vertical strip through __ another outcrop, and then two craters that are in - Guess what we'd call - the forward leading edge of Swarm Mountain over there, which are quite prominent swung craters. And then I over to a bright fresh one that we see - Oh, to the northwest, way out. And then I turned back around to Hadley Delta and shot upslope at Hadley Delta, and picked up the debris that seems to be exposed up on the top of Hadley Delta. And now the frames say 120.
CC: Roger, Dave. 120.
LMP-EVA: Dave, as long as you got it out, don't you think you o,,gbt to take a picture of those large ones? Up - up to the east? In that suggestion of layering Just to the right of the large one?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I guess so. Let's do that. Except that it's so much up-Sun, Jim, I'm not sure we're going to get anything in them.
UNKNOWN: you have some other tasks for me here?
CC: Jim, we're happy. Give us an EMU status check, please. We'd like a frame count off of Dave's camera, and then we're ready to move out.
CC: On - I forgot - the 16-millimeter, we want you to change run out that MAG, the camera at i foot per second for 10 seconds, and then go back to normal. stand
UNKNOWN: Okay; by.
CDR-EVA: I took about _ more pictures on the 500, Joe, looking __ out at Silver Spur and the blocks that are exposed up there.
CC: Okay, Dave. Out of curiosity, did you photograph the LM with the big camera?
CDR-EVA: Oh, how did you guess, Joe?
CC: I Just can't stay ahead of you.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) You're ahead of me all the time. Hey, the film's Jammed in that camera, too. That's a
CC: Roger. Copy, the film was Jammed in the DAC. And change out that magazine, please. Install a new one, and start it running at i frame per second for 10 seconds.
LMP-EVA: Sure, that's in work.
LMP-EVA: Okay; i frame per second, Joe. Here we go - 10 seconds.
CDR-EVA: Okay; and why don't you hop on and let me get your seat belt, we got to get moving. Time's a wasting.
LMP-EVA: Green light isn't working in it. There's 10 seconds.
LMP-EVA: Okay; we tried tha - that ...
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jim. Why don't you hop on? Yes. If you can. **# forget we're tilted backwards.
CC: Jim, while you're there, can you look over and get a frame count off of Dave's camera, please?
LMP-EVA: Yes, as soon as he turns a little bit more to the left.
CDR-EVA: Okay; can you sit back now, Jim? Okay; Just a minute, let me get your pocket. I don't know why your suit is so much wider than mine.
UNKNOWN: I'm wider.
CDR-EVA: Don't sit up, sit back.
LMP-EVA: I'm trying to. Swing around and I'11 give them a camera count on you.
CDR-EVA: Okay, your seatbelt's on. Good.
UNKNOWN: Well, when you sit down, I'11 get yours. --_
CDR-EVA: Yes. Look out there, down-Sun so you won't have to - -
LMP-EVA: Okay; it's lB0.
UNKNOWN: On Dave.
CC: And Jim, while you're there, could you go to - back to normal on the DAC, please? Or, off.
UNKNOWN: back to 12 - back to 12 frames per second. You want me to run it at that speed? You want me to turn it on at that speed now, Joe, and see if it'11 work?
CC: Stand by on that, Jim. Yes, let's give it a go; see if it'11 work?
UNKNOWN: Okay; it's coming on now.
CDR-EVA: Why don't you wait until we start driving? Oh, shoot. I forgot the TV.
UNKNOWN: think it might be - this one might be working, Joe - -
CC: TV's - -
UNKNOWN: - - because we're at the full mark on the MAG.
CDR-EVA: Joe, I'm going PM1/WB.
CC: Roger, Dave. And Jim, turn off the DAC until we start driving and then we'11 get some - moving.
LMP-EVA: Okay; it's off.
CC: Okay, troops, we're looking beautiful. We'11 ask you to move back towards the west - towards the large block you saw there, which we think is near Spur Crater, and drive towards the fresh crater that you've described to us.
CC: Rover, do you read Houston?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'm working, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jim. Here we go. Can you turn on the - 2 DRIVE POWER for me?
LMP-EVA: The up?
CDR-EVA: Yes, the up ones up, and the down ones down. Can you - Oh, I'11 get them. You're in as bad a position as I am.
UNKNOWN: They're OFF.
LMP-EVA: That's a ...
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. We're moving out.
CC: Roger. Got your mark. Dave, we're thinking - we want to drive over towards that large block, and if you think it's reasonable, we'11 ask about a 15-minute stop there. And afterwards, we'11 move on towards the fresh crater. What do you think?
CDR-EVA: Oh, I think that's a good idea. I don't think we're going to get any more variety of anything by going farther to the east on the - on the Front, Joe. I think we've seen the variety that we're going to see - except for working our way back.
CC: Dave, we agree precisely with that down here. _e think - from your descriptions, that's exactly what we've been reading and that's why we want you to move to the west.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Now here's a little fresh crater, Jim - with white albedo, but I think that's probably a secondary. _-_ I don't think that's excavated or anything, do you?
CDR-EVA: Let's head for that block.
LMP-EVA: Yes. I lost that block. I hope you - It's Just over the ridge, I guess.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Yes, we'11 take it sort of slow here going down-Sun.
LMP-EVA: Yes, we're heading 278.
