CMP: And I'm all set up for the solar corona. The c_meras are all set. The checklist is complete down to turning the tape on.
CC: Roger. Why don't you take time to eat then, and - I'11 just check out with you at AO - at LOS.
CMP: Ail right, sir. Thank you.
CMP: Maybe everyone else in the world knew about that little toe in the Riphaeus Mountains. I just never had heard anyone mention that before.
CC: Roger. That sounds interesting.
CC: Farouk and the boys in the backroom have been eagerly absorbing your remarks the last couple of days.
CMP: Yeah, but all the questions they ask, I can't answer.
CDR: You know, Hank, one of the things I was thinking about last night that might hel_ remember a lot of the things we've seen - do you suppose there's a - any DAC film that I can use to, say, set to look out the window? And I'11 see if I can maybe just tape the DAC up somewhere and let it take a one-frame-per-second stri_, or something that would give us some reasonable overlap - around the lighted part of the Moon.
CC: Okay, Ken. We'11 take a look at that.
CMP: I think I could probably tape the camera somewhere so it would have a - a view approximately the same as what we've been seeing. 108/37 Tape
CC: Casper, no need to acknowledge. Your consumables look good, and, on the RCS, we're making a little money. We're about 188 pounds now above the rescue red line.
LMP-EVA: Okay, if we can keep Crown Crater and that - there's a big one to the bottom, one down on the first terrace and then one on the second terrace. Those three sort of - in a line, coming home_ we got it.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Go initialize the NAV, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm coming. I got to go to MODE switch 1 before we start moving?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. That in you checklist?
CDR-EVA: Okay, well, let me get me.
LMP-EVA: Okay, why don't you bounce in?
CDR-EVA: Don't put you_ arm there.
LMP-EVA: Boy, that's - umm ...
LMP-EVA: There it is and I support the NAV align by being able to get in the machine.
CDR-EVA: Gee whiz, Charlie. I think you broke it.
UNKNOWN: I hope not.
LMP-EVA: Tony, a point - not that mission before, hut this seatbelt adjustment was just perfect for me - from the airplane.
CC: Okay, good data point.
CDR-EVA: And- Me too? Seatbelt - seatbelts fastened? Okay, we're going back to the normal configuration.
CDR-EVA: PMW [sic] is in BOTH. And the DRIVE ENABLE is in - all those switches are up and the - steering is okay. Going to PRIMARY. We're in for a NAV align.
CDR-EVA: I think I'd better get up here on this level spot.
LMP-EVA: Umm. Now wa - what - wha -
CDR-EVA: That feels pretty level.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, i reckon.
CDR-EVA: I reckon too.
CC: Right. On the DRIVE ENABLEs, we'd like the LEFT REAR and the RIGHT REAR to P_-2.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, we've got that. It's normal configuration.
CC: Okay, good show. That's what we want.
LMP-EVA: Okay, we're in 3 degrees right roll - 3 degrees right roll. Hey, the pitch needle is behind there, and I would say it's saying 2 degrees pitch up if the little needle was right in the middle. But it isn't very much, Houston.
LMP-EVA: _at happened is the - on that - on that indicator is that the - is that the dial is falling off, if you can believe such a thing. The little needle is still back there. It don't know the dial's falling, and it's working fine. One degree right roll - -
CC: Okay, we copy that, and we need an FFD [?].
LMP-EVA: - - ... level pitch. Three de - 3-1/2 degrees right. Almost 4. No, 3 - 3 degrees right, excuse me.
LMP-EVA: And we're are - our - -
CC: And if - -
LMP-EVA: - - heading is 264, if you can believe such a thing.
CC: Okay, and if you want to power up - - 109/3 Tape
CDR-EVA: It's about right on?
CC: I'd like the LRV readings.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're powered up. Okay, 60 on the left. Okay, zero - 264, 000, 000, 000, amp-hours is 60, ll5; off-scale low, off-scale low - okay, volts are sevent - 65, 65; 102, 120, off-scale low, off- scale low, and off-scale low, off-scale low.
CC: Okay, we'11 stick with the normal configuration you've got there, and we'd like to make - verify that you went back to amps on the read-out.
LMP-EVA: That's verified.
CC: Okay. Okay, we've got 258 on the torquing angle.
CDR-EVA: The rascally thing is only off - Okay, 258.
CDR-EVA: How about that? I put my DIVERTER in MINIMUM; I didn't think I'd reach it on this round.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're all set to go. And off we go.
LMP-EVA: Okay. First heading out of here, John, is 030. 030 supposedly. Okay. The DAC is ON.
CDR-EVA: Shoot, that thing drifts.
CC: Charlie, can you turn that DAC off for another 19 minutes?
LMP-EVA: Okay,, Tony. I'm going to be spinning it.
CC: I'11 give you a mark.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Okay, it's off.
CDR-EVA: I'11 tell you, this ridge up here would be a good place to park the Rover, Houston, if you want - We're reading, I think it's working - it's reading 162 and 100 - 0.1 now. And that's how far away we are.
CDR-EVA: This ridge would be a good place to park the Rover. The Rover up north of it. I don't know if you can stand it thermally.
LMP-EVA: I don't think they can pan the camera like that, when we lift off. Okay, Tony. We're topping out of the li%tle ridge. We can now see Dome and Smoky. On top of the ridge, there are boulders in - much like we seen yesterday. Half a meter or so, cobbles about 5 percent of the surface. Looks like a lot of secondaries though. We have a - The - the boulder population is - is really con- centrated around the secondaries, and we'11 get some pictures of that. The regolith up here is identi- cal. You can see these little lineations which is, I think, a function of Sun angle.
CDR-EVA: I think the boulder population is starting te thin, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: i do too. They're getting smaller, and the cobbles are getting smaller. Like we - Could be just out of this ray. We don't see any of the - maybe one or two of the half-a-meter-size boulders now, Tony.
CC: Okay, we copy that. There are a couple of mounds mapped about 200 meters off to your left. We were wondering if you could see those.
UNKNOWN: Nope. I got 1 - 179 at 180 now at 0.3, and - and topping out really on top of a ridge here, and -
CDR-EVA: Better go over this way more, Charlie. Ray
UNKNOWN: Yeah. There's North _ighv up there. Look at the big rocks, John.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. You got a good view of North Ray here, and as we look - as I look at it, there's a - a north-south - northeast-southwest line of boulders that come out from the southwest rim and go up the northeast rim out Smoky Mountain.
CDR-EVA: See, there's Palmetto, too.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, we see Palmetto. Coming down the ridge now, we look like we're going into a - a - a big sag- type area. It's at 12 o'clock of 300 or 400 meters, and we're now at 188 at 0.4.
CDR-EVA: We may be into Palmetto right now, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: May be Palmetto.
LMP-EVA: No. That's over there on the rim, isn't it?
LMP-EVA: That - that big thing right there? No, Palmetto's at - -
CC: You should be about halfway to Palmetto.
LMP-EVA: - - 2.1.
CC: You're looking right below Turtle Mountain, we bet.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. That's where we are.
LMP-EVA: 0kay_. Up at station 11 and 12 - -
CDR-EVA: Any resemblance between this and the topo is going to the devil.
LMP-EVA: 0kayl, we're going downslope now, Tony, about a 5-degree slope, and we're going to go down perhaps 50 or 60 meters before we start climbing back out again towards Palmetto. And up around North Ray, we see two tremendous blocks at about station 11 and ]_2 that appear to be black in color, black with white spots. And there's a - we're just about out of the ray material now. We only see a few cobbles left.
CC: Okay. It might be a good idea to try to get for our station 11.
LMP-EVA: That's what I thought we were going to pick - those two big - big rocks.
LMP-EVA: It's right up on that ridge. That might be - that's PaLmetto right there, I guess, off to the left there, isn't it, John? Course, we only been 0.6 though. Tony, we're at 195 at 0.6, and there's a big depression off to our 2 o'clock position on a heading of 030, with some white boulders on the inner rim. It's a very subdued feature, but it does have stuff - at least around the rim - the south - Wow! Great]
CDR-EVA: Ail right, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: The east side is a very shallow slope into this pit.
UNKNOWN: far are we supposed to go this way before we turn back?
UNKNOWN: Just keep going. Straight out.
CC: You should be heading of about 356
CDR-EVA: 345 ...
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Now at 0.8, you can vurn to about 356.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Tony, this big depression off to the left that I was describing is - on the east side, it's a very shallow slope into it, about h er 5 degrees. But, on the far end, the west side and the southwest side , it has very steep walls, 20 degrees of slope - -
CDR-EVA: Oh, yes ... - -
CC: Right. Understand. You're leoking right at the base of Turtle Mountain.
LMP-EVA: - - piece of cake, John. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Listen, Houston (laughter). I hate to tell you this, but these mountains don't look the same.
LMP-EVA: Which mountains? Those straight - -
CDR-EVA: Where's Turtle Mountain. Right here?
LMP-EVA: - - It's off to the left, way off to the left. We just passed it. We could do a 360 and get a pan of it.
CDR-EVA: How about that rock there, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: And it's got some lineations in it, huh?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. Look at the size of it.
LMP-EVA: Oh, this big one coming up, you mean?
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Hey, Tony, it seems to me this is a - a more subdued surface over here than going towards South Ray. Not as many craters. It's almost - except for three or four meter-sized craters, it's all s_bdued and just hummocky and rolling.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, that's true. It's much better driving. We're doing 10 clicks.
CC: Outstanding. Could we have a - an _ reading?
LMP-EVA: Twenty. Hey, there's about a 4-meter boulder off to our - with a good fillet - -
CDR-EVA: Oh, that's - that's nice. That's been there for a while.
LMP-EVA: - - we're just passing at 195 at 0.9. It's rounded.
CC: Okay. How are we doing now on the rounded versus the angular boulder - -
LMP-EVA: And we can see into Ravine - we can - Okay; most of them over here are, I'd say, probably a good half and half rounded to - to angular.
CC: - - Okay.
UNKNOWN: There are some small, induraved secondary craters. And as we approach Palmetto, the boulder population is beginning to pick back up.
CDR-EVA: This Palmetto right here, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yes, it is. We've got to - I don't - I think it is, John. Yeah, right up there to the left. It's a - we've been 1 - I think that's 1.1, and we're not quite there yet. We've got to go on this heading for 1. Okay, Tony, as you look to the north- east, you get part of a - a spectacular terrain view of rclling hills occasionally pock-marked with large boulders. The craters are very subdued, and the hills almost appear smooth off to the northeast. Occasional craters - -
CC: Okay. We copy that, and - -
LMP-EVA: - - that might be a function of the Sun angle, though.
CC: - - according to our track, you're a little bit easy of - correction, west of course, and probably a 005 heading would take you right along the rim of Pal_.lett o.
UNKNOWN: Yeah. That's what I figure.
UNKNOWN: I think we're coming up on the rim now, John.
CDR-EVA: Right, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: There it is. Beautiful.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Tony, we copped out on the rim of Pa_ettc, and hit it right on the nose at 1.2 at 189, and it's a tremendous crater. The walls to the south - south-northeast - correction, northwest-south - Wow.
CDR-EVA: Sorry, Charlie. I got to keep my eye on the driving.
LMP-EVA: Beautiful. That's great. That's great. And to the southeast here are steeper than the walls to the northeast. Apparently, it looks like it's almost breeched to the northeast.
LMP-EVA: John's cutting away from the rim now, because it's a little hit easier going. There's a good ejecta blanket of half-meter-size boulders around the rim of Palmetto into some of these secondary craters here.
CC: Okay. Do you have an estimate of - -
CDR-EVA: Palmetto is as big as Meteor, isn't it? It's an -
LMP-EVA: Okay; of cobble size, in my usual size of being cobbles, I'd say 30, 40 percent of the surface. Let's make it 30 percent and the half-meter size, maybe one for every 10 square meters.
CDR-EVA: Okay. We're just traveling right around the - we're traveling about 100 meters inside the rim, and we're at 195, 1.h now.
CDR-EVA: 1.7 is the distance.
LMP-EVA: Okay; and to the northeast, Tony - northwest, correction - you can see large blocks on the rim on the - -
CDR-EVA: Hey, Charlie, there's Dot.
LMP-EVA: - - Yeah, I see Dot. Great. Hanging right in there, right on the rim. You won't be able to see the ro - you wouldn't be - yeah, you'11 be able to see into Palmetto from there. Okay; the large boulders over there seem to be 3 or 4 meters to the northwest on the flank of Palmetto, but I think they came :from North Ray. Over.
CC: Okay. Understand they're angular?
UNKNOWN: Angularity is sort of rounded.
LMP-EVA: The - Apparently, the only thing preserved here is - There's the large blocks out of North Ray, but don't see any - very - very many small ones. I think - I - Trafficability is going to be excellent,, though it looks like a steep slope climbing that rim, doesn't it?
CDR-EVA: No, not too bad. It's not near as had as Stone Mountain.
LMP-EVA: Okay. The - the - the boulder field out of North Ray does not reach Ravine, Tony. It stops on the outer flank of Ravine about 0.1 of a crater diam- eter away.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Most of the rocks here are - are rounded; have some real good secondaries. The types are very difficult to identify as we go by. Me're now at 193 at 1.7. The nav system seems to be working super.
UNKNOWN: Palmetto has a very - a very definite raised rim to it, and we're going to be going off vhe rim down probably a 5- to 10-degree slope into a valley before we start climbing up to _orth Ray.
UNKNOWN: That's a real valley, toc, Charlie.
UNKNOWN: Yeah. I'11 say. And these valleys in here, Tony, tend to trend toward Big Sag.
CC: And Charlie, could you go ahead and - -
CDR-EVA: Hey, see Cat?
CC: - - puz that DAC on that? 109/11 Tape
LMP-EVA: Yeah, there's - -
CDR-EVA: Yeah, put it on now, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Ok_r.
LMP-EVA: Okay; it's running.
CC: Good[ show.
CDR-EVA: It's not pointing up at the edge.
LMP-EVA: And I got it pointed off to the right - left. Excuse me.
CC: You_' other right.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're now in an area, Tony, that's at 19 - 195 at 1.9, that is about a half-meter-size boulder every 5-meter square. Some of these blocks are angular; they're fractured. They appear to be grayish in color, dust covered, and most all of them have fillets. Man, look at that slope! That's - that's End Crater right there, Tony - John, just over that rim, there, just to your left. And, Tony, End Crater is on - is on about a 10- to 12-degree slope, pointed toward South Ray - North Ray.
CDR-EVA: Hey, we're traveling due east here for a while to pick up a little smooth ground.
LMP-EVA: What do you say? We're going down a 5-degree slope here or 107
CDR-EVA: Yeah, Charlie; 5 to 10. More like 10.
UNKNOWN: Yeah. Okay, Tony. We're about maybe a half-a- crater diameter to the northeast of - of Palmetto, about a 10-degree slope, and the boulder population is about 5 degrees here. And the small cobbles have just about disappeared. Very smooth regolith, except for these 20- to 30-centimeter boulders, which are not very numerous. We're really moving out downslope at about 12, 15 kilometers an hour.
LMP-EVA: It's remarkable how - how subdued all these craters are. It's almost a smooth plain except for a few of the 5-meter craters or so. The 1-meter size, and all, and smaller, are all just about gone. They're just - apparently, very subdued. Okay. John, we're at 22 at 195. We'11 swing the camera around toward the Sun. It's looking off to the right now.
CDR-EVA: Let's get a better heading here from 22 to 195, Houston.
LMP-EVA: Okay. End Crater was 21. You should - What they want is about - just directly north, John.
CDR-EVA: Forward?
UNKNOWN: Yeah. It looks great to me, that heading.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. It looks like - _ell, we're down to about where the rock population is almost nonexistent. I hope it stays that way for a while.
CC: Y'ail are making some outstanding rime there - -
UNKNOWN: ±t's really easy going, Tony. Uell, he's got it full blower at il clicks, and we're just going over an undulating terrain. The ridge lines here are predominantly - trend east-west, and they are about 5 meters in relief. And really, the only significant craters that you have out here are the ones that are 5 meters and larger, and they're only maybe - cover 30 percent of the surface.
CDR-EVA: Look at that view! Look at those boulders!
LMP-EVA: Look at those rocks! Tony, there are some tremen- dous boulders on North Ray, and they get bigger as we go nearer - near them.
CDR-EVA: Tell you one reason why North Ray is - looks like it had - looks like in the photos, it had such steep walls on one side, is because the rim is raised on one side higher than the other. Don't you get that impression, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Sure do.
CC: Do you think you'11 be gsle to recognize the edge of tke continuous ejecta blanket?
LMP-EVA: Hey, Tony. It looks like - well, I don't - We - we'11 give you a try at that. Right now, I can't - -
CDR-EVA: I th_nk we're starting to get into it right now, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Well, the cobbles and boulders are picking up. We're at 26, Tony, at 199, 192, and beginning to pick up a high frequency, maybe 10 percent now, of cobbles and boulders. John, I think it looks like those - See that white boulder dead ahead? Looks like the greatest variety of boulders is going to be over there. But that's part of the east and our station 11, but farther north than station 11 is called for. It's almost at the foot of Smoky.
CDR-EVA: *** like ... up on the rim and see what we've got up here?
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'd love to.
CC: Okay; and you may get a caution flag on battery 2 temperature - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony.
CC: - - just reset it, and press on.
CDR-EVA: Understand. Reset, press.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Tony, in this area now for 192 at 2.7, we're getting in a - a greater frequency of 1-meter-size craters, and it's making it a little bit bumpier ride.
CC: Okay. You might watch for a change in soil - -
CDR-EVA: Okay. The battery 2 temperature reads wha_ ..., Charlie?
CC: - - color, or albedo as you go along there.
CDR-EVA: That's what we're watching for, and I get - the real change comes up - Oh, me - -
LMP-EVA: Uh-oh. Oh, man.
CDR-EVA: - - a little closer to the - That one (laughter).
UNKNOWN: That's one of those sharp craters out - they call it - They map sharp ou_ here in the plain. John, I don't think we're going to be - go straight between those two big rocks. I think we're going to have to - looks like to me that's a pretty steep slope. If we swing a little bit east here, and then go up just on the edge of that boulder ray right there, we'11 make it.
CDR-EVA: Over here?
UNKNOWN: Okay. Okay. Tony, now that we get over here and can see down off the flank of North Ray, we can see good boulder rays out of North Ray that go for perhaps - I'm going to say a half-a-crater diameter - boulders greater than a meter size.
CC: Okay. Could you take a look up at Smoky area there, and see what kind of structure and texture you can see on the face?
LMP-EVA: Pete, been looking at that. Can't see anything except for a couple of rays of boulders out of North Ray that trend, one goes almost into Ravine that I described, and one goes on up to the top. In the northeast wall of Ravine, you can see the lineation. To the northeast, they're horizontal. To the north, they are dipping east about 30 degrees.
CC: Okay Can you push your camera up that far to get a picture of that?
LMP-EVA: I - Z don't want to break my RCU bracket; I don't think I can - Wait a minute, I'11 take the camera off and do it.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, don't do that.
UNKNOWN: No sweat.
CDR-EVA: Take a picture of that crater. We're driving - We going - the - the road ahead I'm going through.
UNKNOWN: Oh, yeah. I did.
CDR-EVA: That's a nice one.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Tony, there's a - that, to me, looks like just a big sink feature, John. Tony, the road had us - the map had us going - -
CDR-EVA: Okay. We're definitely in the regolith right now, Houston, because see how these blocks are all laid in there?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I do.
CDR-EVA: Remember how it was up at - at that crater - at Schooner?
CDR-EVA: Those rocks are laid into the ejecta blanket.
CDR-EVA: That's where they came from.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. At 191, at 3.1, we're coming into some good-sized whitish-looking rocks that are 3 and 4 mesers across. They're fractured. There's probably a per_nent shadowed sample - No, that wouldn't be - -
CDR-EVA: If you didn't know better, you'd say that they were bedrock outcrop, but the're just laid in there, I'm sure_ from North Ray.
LMP-EVA: And as we go to the southeast side of North Ray, there is a big sink feature, a big pit, that's elongate east-west, and we could drive in it from the - from the east. But once you get to the south of South Ray, it is really a deep pit, Tony. And that ridge line that we saw from the - the LM is on the - the west side of that deep pit. It's probably 100 meters below the rim of North Ray. Over.
CC: Okay. We copy that. And on the boulders you are looking at now that you think might be thrown in, you might talk about the - the fillet size away and towards the crater and see if that corresponds with the secondary.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Well, we - Okay. We passed - we are not close to any of them right now. We're in a very smooth area. We're in this - At 3._, at 190, we're down in this area where I've just described it. It goes into that big pit off to our - our west.
LMP-EVA: About a crater diameter from North - about a crater diameter from North Ray off to the east, I see some 3-meter boulders that are all rounded and sitting in the ejecta with - or in the regolith wi_h good fillets. Okay. Now here's one, Tony, off to the right - -
CDR-EVA: The bag fell off again, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: - - at 34. It did?
LMP-EVA: That's not supposed to happen. Okay. With the 2-meter-size boulder with a fillet that's equi - looks like sort of equidimensional around the - around the boulder.
CC: Okay. Understand. Do you see any ... in these boulders - -
LMP-EVA: - - ... say - We just passed another 1 meter - They just look whitish to me.
LMP-EVA: But that was another one we just passed, 1-meter size. It had a big - the biggest fillet upslope.
CDR-EVA: Here's a new crater right there, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Right to the right?
LMP-EVA: Yeah_ I know it. Tony, these - these 1 - these craters that we call secondary that are indurated, I frankly think are very, very fresh craters, because the - the - it looks very cloddy around them, and the other ones that are secondaries do not appear that way. Over.
CC: Yeah. Okay. Understand.
CDR-EVA: I'm not sure that this isn't such an old crater, that the secondary - that the secondaries aren't eroded down. We've really got good going right here.
CDR-EVA: Now let's - Before we get too far along, let's study this thing and see if we can figure out a way to get up that rim without going through all the boulders in the wall - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, John. See that big one off to the right over there?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. I see that.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I think up that slope, it looks to me to be the best. Of course, it might be straight ahead might be best.
CDR-EVA: Well, I don't see any rocks straight ahead.
LMP-EVA: Ail right. Let's go straight ahead. Okay. Tony, we're heading about 300 and 187. The large boulders, Tony, will be off to our right. There's a - a black to brownish looking one, and then there is a solid white one off towards - that's right at the base of Smoky Mountain and North Ray. That might be worth a little jog over there if it's not too far. It's the most unique white boulder we've seen.
CC: Okay. We'11 keep that in mind on the way back.
CC: Cive us bearing and range again.
UNKNOWN: - - Yeah. See that white one over there, John? Okay, we're at 37 and 186. And we just passed some very frothy, two frothy-looking boulders. The biggest one is perhaps 5 meters across, and they have vertical joining or fracturing to them, and they have a frothy appearance to it. I'm about 20 meters from it now.
CC: This sounds really great.
LMP-EVA: Okay; so - Man, that is a big rock!
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. There are not any house-size rocks, but the biggest ones are maybe 5 meters. And it's really smooth except for the these big rocks out - out here. It's smooth going.
CC: Could you - -
LMP-EVA: ... fresh - There's a real fresh little crater right there. See the ray - -
LMP-EVA: - - off to the left?
LMP-EVA: It's about a meter size - - 109/19 Tape
CC: Hey, could you use a couple more words - -
LMP-EVA: - - and it's 300 degrees at 183 -
CC: - - to describe that frothy rock?
LMP-EVA: It's -- it's got a hackly surface to it - -
CDR-EVA: It's black - black colored. Right, Chartie?
CDR-EVA: Okay, we're going up a pretty steep slope right now, Houston .... I think we're almost at the rim, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, we are. Looks like we're just about 20 meters from vhe rim.
CDR-EVA: I'm going to slow down here.
LMP-EVA: Okay. (Laughter) Think you'11 be all right? How about hooking a right, over here, John. The - -
CC: We go_ you at about 400 or 500 meters from it yet.
UNKNOWN: - - ... coming to the rim. Hey, I - I don't believe it, but -
CC: Okay; we'd like you - -
LMP-EVA: Well, you might be right.
CC: - - to go to 12 frames per second.
CC: Okay. This is going to make some great pictures here.
CDR-EVA: We're on a relatively flat surface now.
LMP-EVA: Okay. The rocks here, Tony, are all rounded. Well, not - most of them - 70 percent of them are rounded, and ti_e other ones are subangular, mostly dust covered, grayish in color. The big rocks are not on the rim, Tony. The big rocks are farther away from the rim. At least, we can't see any big rocks as we approach the rim, but we're still climbing upslope.
CDR-EVA: Man. Look, there's a tremendous one.
LMP-EVA: There's a 10-meter boulder off to the right over there, John. There's a fresh crater, really fresh one, that has a white interior that's punched in about 2 meters deep, and that was at 181 at 4.0. 0kay_ it looks like to me we're - The rim - Hey, there's some beautiful white ones over there - -
CDR-EVA: There we go, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: - - John, at 2 o'clock. Think this is the rim, right here?
CC: We still think you're about 500 meters from the Fim.
LMP-EVA: We'11 be able to sample these white ones. Here's some - We are - There's the rim up there.
CDR-EVA: Sure is.
UNKNOWN: Sure is, Tony. You were right. We just climbed what we thought was the rim of one of these little hummccks.
CDR-EVA: Little hummocks! It was a pretty steep hurmmock.
CC: - - ... just like mountain climbing, there's always another ridge.
LMP-EVA: And I'm gonna pan - Okay. I'm going tc pan the DAC around to get to that boulder field that goes up to north - Smoky Mountain. It's really tremen- dous. The boulders are very angular over there. They're gray - dark gray in color, and some of them are almost solid white. The mcst unioue ones appear to be solid white. Up on the rim here, they appear to be almost white; none of the dark ones. And we're at 180 at 4.1. Smooth regolith. John, the rim's left.
CDR-EVA: The rim's right there.
LMP-EVA: No, sir. I bet - I bet it's over there to the left where those rocks are. But you might be r_ght. That's too far away. You're right. That's probably too far west.
CC: We think the most direct route from where you are to the rim would be about a heading of 350.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're headed that way, and there's a some beauti - Those white rocks are - -
CDR-EVA: Right on the rim, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: - - right on the rim.
CC: Outstanding. Can you see on around to see if there are any black rocks around at 3 o'clock in the crater?
LMP-EVA: Well, we can't see in the crater. But around at 3 - at the 3 o'clock position, yeah, there's a biggy. The biggest one, Tony, is this 10- to 15-meter boulder that is on the rim, and it's blackish.
CC: Okay. Is there any chance of working around towards that contact? And if we could get both the white and black - black in one stop, that would be really fine.
LMP-EVA: Right. Pretty far. I think we can do it with a short stop over there. And we might - When we get up there, Tony, we might be able to find a black rock.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're going through a - We're definitely on the ejecta blanket here_ and oh, within 100 meters or so, I think, of the rim.
CC: Right. We have you about 100 meters from it - -
LMP-EVA: These rocks are just white, crystalline, white looking. Man, you guys are right on. If we copied, I think y'all are right on.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. We're 179 at 4.4 right now.
LMP-EVA: Okay. That's great, John.
CDR-EVA: He wants us to park where?
UNKNOWN: 360. Head on out to the rim. Okay; that's a brec- cia. That white one's a breccia.
CDR-EVA: _here's the rim.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. There it is. Okay. I think we can get over there and maybe get them a picture. We're headed about 360, aren't we?
LMP-EVA: That is that - that big - I can't believe the size of that big black rock over here. And I don't think that's a breccia, John. But, although it might be. I see some large white clasts.
CDR-EVA: Ohs spectacular! Just spectacular!
CC: Charlie, the DAC should be out of film; you can turn it off.
LMP-EVA: I can't reach it.
LMP-EVA: ... to park at this heading?
CDR-EVA: I don't - No, I guess not. _at I'd like to do is park where it's flat, and -
LMP-EVA: Okay. Okay. Where we came up over here, John, it - it won't be quite to - They get a better view. Right here's where they get a great view of the - of the interior of the upper third of the wall. Okay. Tony, we're on the rim.
CDR-EVA: There we go. If we spin - If we go 360 and park right here, it'11 be flat.
LMP-EVA: Great, John. Super! Can't wait to get off. Got to get off.
CC: We can't wait for you to either. You're - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. We're at 36 - -
CC: - - about 17 minutes ahead of the time line.
LMP-EVA: 360, 179, 5.5, 4.5, 60, 115, off-scale low, off-scale low, 130, 110, 2 - 225, 225 FORWARD MOTORs, 200, 200 REAR MOTORs.
CC: Okay. What was that TEMPERATURE on BATTERY 1 again?
CDR-EVA: Okay. PRIMARY is going to OFF.
LMP-EVA: 100 and - about 110, I think.
CC: Okay. Got it. And, Charlie, we'11 need a frame count.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Pan - Okay; stand by. I'm so dusty.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Going to halfway between the INTERMEDIATE and -
LMP-EVA: Gee, I don't know, Tony. I can't read it. Let John read it. John.
LMP-EVA: Read my frame count.
LMP-EVA: Well, I wanted to get in the Sun so you could read it.
CDR-EVA: 165. You better change that out.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Took 165 pictures coming up here, Tony.
CC: Okay; and we concur on the changeout.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm going to put another black and white cn Kilo.
CC: Okay. Kilo.
CDR-EVA: And look at - -
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I'm walking down about a - John, i'11 get the TV for you.
CC: Okay; and DAC off.
CDR-EVA: Chariie, i'11 get the TV.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, okay.
CDR-EVA: Man, does this thing have steep walls.
LMP-EVA: They said 60 degrees.
CDR-EVA: Now, I tell you, I can't see to the bottom of it, and i'm just as close to the edge as I'm going to get. (Laughter) That's the truth.
LMP-EVA: Okay, going to 2.
CC: Okay. Our plan here is vo range along the edge of the crater for about 80 meters, if you can do that. And, Charlie, if you'11 start out with your pan 1 in the 500 millimeter, we'd also like you vo shoot some more pictures of Smoky with the 500, and then take your far field stereo. And then if you range on out as far as you can go, we'd like - taking the 500 millimeter with you, take - and John with you - take a stereo of the inside of the crater with the 500 millimeter from as far - far away from the Rover as you can get, and then stick the stereo - or the 500 millimeter in John's SCB, and then do your other far field polarimetry, and then - from then on, all we've got is sampling.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I think we probably ought to take all those things one at a time.
LMP-EVA: I do too.
CC: Okay_ fine.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Do you want me to start out with the 500?
CC: Right. Gc ahead and start out with your 500.
LMP-EVA: Okay. You say, I start out with the 500? Okay. Okay. Tony, I have magazine Kilo, frame count 1, I think, it was.
CC: And we've got a picture.
UNKNOWN: Okay Those rocks you're looking at now, Tony, are white and they look breccious to me. The big black one is off behind the TV. It's going towards the rim on the crater right now.
CDR-LM: The l_fortunate thing about it, Houston, is that rascally rim - It goes down - It slopes into it abo_; - say, 10 or 15 degrees. It's the kind of slope I'm standing on right now, and then all of a sudden, in order to see to the bottom, I've got to walk another 100 yards down a - a 25- to 30-degree slope, and I don't think I'd better. Maybe we can drive around to the other side and see clown into it.
CC: Man, is that a hole in the ground!
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. The inside - It really is. I see no bedrock, though. Ail I see is boulders around the crater. There's nothing that reminds me of bedding, just loose boulders. Though it might very well be_ it's so shocked that they could be real boulders - I mean, real bedrock there.
CDR-EVA: Now, the - the layering - vhe boulder layers are horizontally oriented and, of course, they are all colored - covered with talus. Over on the north wall, in particular, about 1/3 of the way from the top is a line of boulders that you probably ought to be able to see on the TV, but they're all oriented right in that line, which would lead one to think that it's bedding there. Don't you see - see that line right over there, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: I - i don't - I'm ... trying to get this crazy camera going here.
CDR-EVA: Okay. And the material is ...
CC: Okay. That line of boulders on the north wall, what color were they?
CDR-EVA: They - In this light, they appear to be dark - dark boulders.
CC: Okay. Incidentally, the white rocks you see there. Do they look like the - the Cone Crater type white rocks?
LMP-EVA: No, not to me.
CDR-EVA: Better let me get a piece of one, Charlie. I don't think - This is definitely a breccia right here, a big foot-and-a-half breccia. It's a white matrix with dark clasts, and it looks to be a three-rock breccia. Some of the dark clasts have even darker clasts than those.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. I picked up magazine Mike_ it's on the 500.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Houston, I just picked up a grab sample of a breccia. It's very friable. It looks shocked; it has black clasts in it - black clasts a couple of _illimeters across. And the - It's so worn down that you know what it really looks like? It looks like a - If I can use the analogy - I'm not sure what the heck it is. It looks like a - a tuft. It just looks like a rock with a - You see, the clasts are sticking out of it, is what I'm saying.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. What other pictures you want me to get with the 500? I've done the interior of the crater. You - you say you wanted Smoky or Stone Mountain?
CC: Okay. We'd like some more pictures of Smoky.
CC: And, John, in your mineral description there, could you see a crystal shape?
LMP-EVA: Get up here where I can see.
CDR-EVA: Okay. While Charlie's doing - Can I see a crystal shape? I saw one clast. One - No. Well, the clasts in there are _ery angular; maybe that's a zap crater; that's probably what that is. i don't see in the - The white matrix doesn't have any crystalline structure that I can recognize.
CC: Okay s fine.
CC: And, Charlie, verify that you turned the DAC off.
CDR-EVA: And, Tony, what is it you want me to do here?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I think so. I'11 check again.
CC: Okay. After the 500 millimeter - -
CDR-EVA: What is it you want me to do here, Tony?
CC: We'd like Charlie there to go ahead and take his far field pan of the crater and go on around and do a full pan. It looks like you could probably do the thing from one place. And, John, we'd like you to start ranging out in the most - the best traverse direction for about 80 meters, if you can go that far. And survey the area as you go out, and Charlie will follow you along - along, and then sample as you come back.
CDR-EVA: Okay. That'11 be 80 meters to the northeast here.
CDR-EVA: No problem to do that, and -
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. Pan is complete, and I'm - I'm up t¢ 165 on magazine Mike.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. The - My description of the - of the crater. It's covered - 60 percent of it is covered with boulders up to 3 meters. Make that 50 percent of it on the interior; we cannot see the bottom. The boulders are splayed out from the center in rays that about every eighth of - to a quarter of a crater, you have a definite ray.
CC: Okay. And, John, did you get a hag number on that?
LMP-EVA: Can I - You still want me to take the 500?
CDR-EVA: Oh, yeah. Excuse me. it's 373, I think.
CDR-EVA: It's in the bottom of SCB-7. Anyway, I - I can identify that rock for you.
CC: Okay, that's fine. Yeah, _harlie. After your 500 millimeter - -
LMP-EVA: Tony, do you still want me to get - - 109/29 Tape
CC: - - after your 500 millimeter, do the far field pan _nd the three polarizer settings of the far side of the crater. And then when you follow John along, take the 500 millimeter with you.
CDR-EVA: Okay. You want me to help Tony to get - I mean Charlie to get the rocks - rocks. You want to get the near field first, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: We're not doing it.
CC: We're not doing a near field.
CDR-EVA: - - ... today. Okay.
UNKNOWN: Okay; John, I'm going to bring a sample bag with that 500 millimeter in it, so we won't - -
CDR-EVA: Okay, i got - I got - I've got a sample bag here.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Okay, Tony. I'm starting this polarimetry from - from about the 10 o'clock position of the Rove r °
CC: Okay. You're starting in the right position?
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Yeah_ I'm starting in the right position. f/6, 1/25, I've got at 74. And I'11 do a partial pan with each film - with each setting. It's going to be about ar eight-picture pan.
LMP-EVA: Man, I wish I could see the bottom of this beauty.
CDR-EVA: Did I drop my bags, Charlie?
UNKNOWN: Yeah, you dropped your bags; I thought you dropped them off the Rover. Okay. That was in the right - going from right to lefv in the right setting. Center setting going from left to right.
CDR-EVA: There they are.
CDR-EVA: Should have told me I dropped them, Houston.
CC: Sorry, John. Didn't see i_.
LMP-EVA: Okay. In the left - Okay, Tony. In the left setting going from right to left. Tony, we can look out at the 12 - at my 12 o'clock position here, I can look down and see a large block that's on this inner flank here that I can't - -
CC: John, is there still something behind you?
LMP-EVA: - - It's dust covered, and I can't tell you what type it is.
CC: We thought we saw something still lying there where you fell over.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. Magazine Kilo; I'm up to 40 with a - -
LMP-EVA: - - with a far field - -
CC: Okay, very good- -
UNKNOWN: - - and I'm in the left position; I'm going back to the right. Now - now, you wan_ that stereo base, right?
CC: That's right. We'd like you to leave the polarizer on and take the 500 millimeter with you also, and then range out you_ 80 meters. You can either take take a SCB - -
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're gonna range - -
CC: - - and stow the 500 millimeter, or stick the 500 millimeter in John's SCB when you're through with it.
LMP-EVA: We'11 take one.
CDR-EVA: I've got one - I've got one, Charlie.
UNKNOWN: Okay; your's fell off - Where's yours that was on your back?
CDR-EVA: Oh, _t fell off en route, i can't believe it. Dadg_mmit!
LMP-EVA: Okay. Tony, if that thing fell off, the SES - the SESC was in it.
CDR-EVA: Probably get it on the way back, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: This is giving us - these things are giving us more trouble than the whole - Hey, John, we'11 save that one for rocks. I'11 put the camera in this one.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Have you got - I'm going to get the shovel. Tony_ are you going to want a rake sample along the rim here?
CDR-EVA: Yeah, let's do that now - -
CC: No. Let's go get the polarizer first and - -
CDR-EVA: ... Rover ...
CC: - - polarizing pictures yet_ and we'11 do the s_mpling on the way back.
CDR-EVA: This is about as far as I'd like to go.
LMP-EVA: That's about 80 meters, John. Man, are we dusty.
CDR-EVA: i can't see the bottom of the crater though.
LMP-EVA: I know it. That's a shame. You see that big rock beyond John, Tony?
CC: Yeah, we sure do. How abomt rolling that one over?
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) No way.
CC: And when you get to a convenient time there, we'd like an EMU check.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Okay. Tony, right under the upper dull gray soil, there's a - a layer of a whitish material much like it was in South Ray.
UNKNOWN: Yeah. I'11 go over, and there's the shovel you can use to pick that up with, John.
LMP-EVA: Okay; I'm going to get the far field from right here, and I must have a 70- to 90-meter base, I'd say.
LMP-EVA: Maybe only 50 - Let me move - let me move down a little bit farther.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Charlie, don't back into nothing now, you hear?
LMP-EVA: I'm - I'm watching where I'm going (laughter).
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. I'm going to pick up a s_mple which I think is a black-type rock, but it's sort of dust covered. Page 1_1
LMP-EVA: Okay. Starting the pan in the right position, Tony.
LMP-EVA: From right to left.
CDR-EVA: Oh, boy! Well, I was wrong; it was a very friable - very friable - looks - Must be shocked white rock with a lot of black clasts; 50 percent of the clasts in it are - or the clasts or the matrixes consist - Try that again. Looks like about 50 per- cent of the rock is black clasts, which was a lot more than the last rock I picked up, and it sure is friable, so that means it's taken a heck of a beating. And that's going into bag number 383.
UNKNOWN: Hey, Tony, the pan is complete in all three settings, and I'm up to - I'm up to 80. Do you want a 500 from here also, Tony?
CC: Right, sure do. You probably have 20 or 25 pictures left in that 500, so maybe that'11 give you the entire inside of the crater there. We'11 just shoot up the rest of the roll in there.
CC: And if you're through with your far field, you can just throw that polarizer away.
UNKNOWN: I will in a minute. Okay; you wanted an _4U check. Flags are clear; I'm at 38, and INTERMEDIATE, about INTErmEDIATE cooling.
CC: Okay;, and 02?
UNKNOWN: I think about 75 percent, but it's so dusty I can't read it right now, Tony.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. I - I can't see mine either, Houston.
LMP-EVA: Can y'all see it down there?
CC: Right. We've got about 67 percent - -
CDR-EVA: I'm reading 25, I'm in INTERMEDIATE cooling. Okay.
CDR-EVA: When you get dust on the RCU, you cannot read the 02 quantity.
CC: Okay, you are all doing fine down here.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. Okay, Tony. I'm doing some vertical stereo - stereos of these rays coming out of the crater. 0h! Out of film.
CC: Okay. How much of the inside did you get?
LMP-EVA: Oh, I got one partial pan of abou_ three-quarters of the way up of the entire wall, and then two ray - two vertical - almost two vertical rays - -
LMP-EVA: - - before I ran out.
LMP-EVA: Guess what, John?
LMP-EVA: My bags fell off, somewhere.
CDR-EVA: Well, I've got mine hooked over my little finger. fall off from there.
LMP-EVA: Look at this rock right here, John. Pure white.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, right - And it's really shocked, whatever it is. It - it looks like chalk, Tony, it's so shocked. It's about pebble size, and it's broken open. Ail right, let's - let's make it 5 centi- meters long s broken open. John, could you bring me a - Let me get this one documented.
LMP-EVA: Okay. The polarizing filter's coming off, I hope.
CC: Okay, Charlie. And we'11 just call that the end of the 500 millimeter.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Sorely I ran out of film there. I thought I had plenty.
CC: Oh, that's all right.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. I'm going back towards the MIN in cooling. I'm getting a little frosty.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. The black clasts in this rock are really - really black material. It's either a very fine-grained black breccia - I'11 tell you what it looks like. It looks like that black breccia, fine-grained line that had that white clasts in it on Apollo 15. Although here, the matrix is white, and the clasts are black.
CC: Okay, understand. How large are the clasts?
CDR-EVA: You remember that one, Houston?
CC: Roger. I remember, is this black breccia frothy too?
CDR-EVA: Three centimeters. No, it's not frothy at all. It's dense.
CDR-EVA: It could be - it could be a very dense basalt-like rock. It is - it's cleavage - I mean it looks like it has the 90-degree cleavage on it, and I'm hard put to tell that. That's just the way it breaks. But it's sure shocked. It's too big to go in the bag, but I'm going to put it in there any_.
CDR-EVA: At least it has a shocked appearance. What did you do with the shovel, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: I got it. I'm sorry. I thought you weren't using it. I was just going to get this one over here.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. I finally got the polarizing filter off, Tony.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Looking back from where we are, Tony, towards the west - the souvh, rather, I can see South Ray.
CDR-EVA: I'd like to make sure we aren't overlooking some- thing here, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: That's why I'd like to go on down to that black rock down there, John.
CDR-EVA: Hey, that's one (laughter) you've really got your eye on, I can tell.
LMP-EVA: Big one.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. Okay. Here's a small secondary up here on top of the - of the - of the rim. It's about a meter across, about a meter deep, and it has either angular - very angular black clasts or part of this black rock in total. And they must be - they must be 4 or 5 centimeters across in there, and I'11 get one or two of those babies.
LMP-EVA: Hey, John. Can I get a bag from Mou?
CDR-EVA: Sure. Took my gnomon. You'11 have to get - you'11 have to get the shadow for scaling, Houston. Here you go.
LMP-EVA: Okay_ Tony. I picked up thav white -
CDR-EVA: I'11 get it for you.
UNKNOWN: Thank you. That white shocked rock. It's broke in two, and here are two pieces of it. Partially documented - the befores anyway, and 384.
CC: Okay, bag 384. 109/37 Tape
LMP-EVA: And I'm going back and get some bags.
CDR-EVA: There. I've got Charlie's shovel for scale for the before shooting.
CDR-EVA: You can almost get local vertical on the shovel because you have to balance it before it will stand up.
CC: Okay. Charlie, did you bring the 500 millimeter back with you?
LMP-EVA: See me coming?
CC: No. We're pointed over at John - -
LMP-EVA: It's in the bag. Oh, okay. Hey, y'all must really be zoomed in then.
LMP-EVA: I'm just a few feet to the left of him.
LMP-EVA: Y'all didn't see any bags fall off an_where, did you?
CC: No, we didn't see them.
LMP-EVA: Your big eye.
CDR-EVA: That - -
CC: There we've got you, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: The outer surface of that rock is dust covered. it appears to be a really black clasts that's going into 385.
CC: Okay, 385.
LMP-EVA: I can't believe it. What a spectacular view looking back to the east and to the south, Tony. See Baby Ray, way on past Kennesaw where there's a bright fresh crater down there on its flank. Okay. I need to get some more bags, but I don't have a holder. My holder - -
CDR-EVA: What really attracted me to this rock, even though it's dust covered, Houston, is the fact that - is the fact that it has right angles to it. It did before I picked it up.
CC: Right. Remember those blocks up at Nevada Test Site? From the rim, they broke at right angles, too.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. This next one that's going in, it is so dust covered after I picked it up and dropped it into the dirt, I can't describe it to you other than to say it's dust covered. It's going into bag 386.
CC: Okay, 386.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. The 500 is complete. What do you want me to do now?
CC: Just go back and sample. We'd like big boulder samples, and look for that - Well, I guess, we're just boulder sampling now.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'd like to go up to the southwest around the rim in the other direction from John, and try my hand at these large white rocks.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, do you want to drive the - I don't think we can drive the Rover over to here.
LMP-EVA: No, I agree. I - that's not very much - I was just going up here a little bit, John, and do some flight line stereo of this 3-meter block up here. Tony_ some of these places are - are - Rocks are glass covered. They are al! fracvured.
LMP-EVA: - - ... 30 feet, up looking - -
CC: That's fine, Charlie, if you want to go down that way.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm going -
CDR-EVA: If you're going to boulder sample, Charlie, I'd better come and help you. 109/39 Tape
LMP-EVA: No, I'm just going to whack - I'm not really going to dc the - the true thing. I'11 be down there to help you in a minute.
