LMP-EVA: Five is under my Seat.
CDR-EVA: Five, akay, You got 5 there, we got 2 and 3 on the Rover, LCRU blankets are open lO0 percent, battery cover are closed. I want to - Push that battery cover over there down Just to make sure it goe_ down.
LMP-EVA: The warning flag is up ...
CDR-EVA: It's probably that - Already, huh? Yes .... down on there,
LMP-EVA: Rover - Rover warning was up.
LMP-EVA: It's down. CDR-_ZA I'11 take a look at that gage again, but the gage on the high battery looked like it may have failed. Okay, LCRU blankets are open, battery covers are closed and pushed closed, dust LCRU -
LMP-EVA: I'm going to the SEP.
CDR-EVA: Wait a minute before you do. You got a second? Just come over here by the left front wheel. I know you got a second. Just a little bit closer to the left front wheel, towards me. Oh, that's good, anywhere in there. Wait a minute.
CDR-EVA: Can you do that likewise? Or can you hold it with that other camera? It's already set at 30.
CDR-EVA: And you might want to take a couple - -
CC: 17, Houston. We think somebody lost their comm. Jack, it's probably Gene going to zero.
CC: Roger. Read you now.
LMP-EVA: Bob, Gene's calling you.
CC: You read me.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I didn't do anything. I Just Jiggled my MODE switch here. Okay, we got 2 and 3 on the EPs, plus one under Jack's seat. LCRU blankets are opened 100 percent; battery covers are closed; dustbrush. I've got; TGE, I've got; mags and polarization filter is taken care of; and I'm ready to traverse to the SEP.
CC: Roger. We understand TGE stowed and you're taken care of in the comm. And you might give us a Rover read-out either now or when you get to the SEP. CDR-EV Okay; we'11 see which is convenient.
CC: Yes. SEP is probably more convenient while you're sitting there waiting for the nav to warm up or initialize - waiting for us to give you the reading.
CDR-EVA: Okay, checking your TV. MODE switch is 1. I_4P-EVA Hey, Bob, are you watching LMP?
CDR-EVA: Not anymore he isn't. I took the TV. Bob, you still read?
CC: Roger. Read you loud and clear. We're now watching the LMP.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I Just wondered because I Just took the TV. I Just want to make sure we got corem here.
CC: Yes. We're reading you in MODE 1.
CDR-EVA: And, for your information, we both got our cover gloves off.
CDR-EVA: Okay, that's in, that's in, that's in. Should have dusted my checklist on the Rover. I can't read down there.
LMP-EVA: Bob, the old tape fix on the SEP's still working.
LMP-EVA: There's a little- both mirrors have a little angular displacement but not more than 5 degrees.
CC: Sounds like that's the _ least of the SEP's problem, but we have hope.
CDR-EVA: I don't believe this. !AtP-EVA What's the problem?
CDR-EVA: Oh, nothing. That roll indicator isn't worth a dingdong ... roll 10 degrees.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Roll zero, pitch is zero; heading is 291; distance, 001; range, 000; amps hours are 90 and 85; volts are 65 65; Sun shadow device, by the way, is 0.
CDR-EVA: Batteries are 100 and off scale low, and motors are all off scale low.
CC: Okay, and, Gene, we'd like to torque to 287, 287.
CDR-EVA: Okay; in work. Let's see, 287. That's a heading from Dodge City to Tindall. Okay, 27 28, 287 right on the money.
CC: Copy that, Geno. And - -
LMP-EVA: Oh, well. I got the sample any_ay.
CC: We copied 45 Yankee near the SEP. That's all we ha%_. If you give us a frame count when you get done, and give us an &l_roximate location for the Rover, at least _roSswise from the Y, we'd appre- ciate it. And we also need SEP receiver power and DSEA both on. And we'd like %he cover taped back - taped down when you get done, Jack.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jack, keep me honest on those rilles. IA_P-EVA Okay, you're okay now. Let me get over on the rille. I don't see -
CDR-EVA: See me? IRP-EVA Come on. You're good.
CDR-EVA: Oh, there's the SEP. Wait - did I miss this other rille? _P-EVA Yes. There's the - I'm on the antenna.
CDR-EVA: Okay. GOing to look back.
LMP-EVA: You want to look - head towards the SEP. You're okay.
CDR-EVA: I see it. I'11 go over to it. I_4P-EVA Matter of fact, turn on these tracks.
CDR-EVA: Yes. I'm in good shape. I see it. I see it.
LMP-EVA: Bob, that h5 Yankee was a fine-grained basalt, I think. One of the few around here. That's why I picked it up. 108A/37 Tape
LMP-EVA: Okay, you stopped?
CDR-EVA: I'm stopped and I'm ready to go. I'm 2 meters to the west of the north line.
CDR-EVA: And I guess I'm certainly within 5 meters of the transmitter. CO Okay, we'11 get that in the photos. And Gene, how's the low gain located - oriented?
CC: .Okay, copy that.
CDR-EVA: Okay, you want the receiver on - -
CC: Roger. Both - -
CDR-EVA: - - and taped down again, huh?
LMP-EVA: Yes, ... put ...
CC: Roger. Both the receiver and the recorder on, both switches on and then tape the cover down.
LMP-EVA: Okay, good luck.
CDR-EVA: I don't know if that tape is going to hold. Okay, ON and ON. Okay, it's taped down more or less.
LMP-EVA: And then I guess I'm supposed to get on, huh?
CDR-EVA: Hey, Bob, the NAV RESET has been - NAV RESET is now OFF and I'm all zeroed up.
CC: Okay. Copy that. And we're ready for you guys to roll.
CC: Okay, it will be 185 and 1.5 on the range.
CDR-EVA: Okay, 185 and 1.5. 185 and l-l/2. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Okay. IA_P--EVA Did I want a chart?
CC: No charts, Jack; no charts.
CDR-EVA: Got it. Got it; 185 and 1.5 and I'm going to bead on at about 012. We ought to go right through Jones. Oh, baby - Jones.
CC: Okay, and, Gene, remember the driving fairly slow - or fairly well controlled the first 300 meters, and a mark at the end of the antenna. antenna
CDR-EVA: Watch that, Jack, watch that lean - - I/4P-EVA Uh-oh. Keep going.
CDR-EVA: Look to you?
LMP-EVA: Okay so far; keep going.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let's do that again--
CDR-EVA: - - but a little different. I'11 pick up that same spot, I can see right where I was.
CC: Okay. Give us another mark when you start up on that side.
CDR-EVA: Okay. We'11 give you a hack, Bob.
LMP-EVA: Okay. You're a little - -
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'm right on the track. Same tracks exactly.
CDR-EVA: That's exactly - I Just came right over. Okay, we're starting Bob -
CDR-EVA: We can't go too far in this heading. We've got a big hole up here.
CDR-EVA: Like a big one. LMA°-EVA Wonder if that's Rudolph?
LMP-EVA: Well, let's see, this is east - looks awf - it's a double crater but it's much bigger than I thought Rudolph would be.
CC: No, if you're where you think you are, you're beyond - you're east of Rudolph quite a ways.
CDR-EVA: Hey, I think you ought to know where we are by now, Bob.
LMP-EVA: Maybe that's Lewis and Clark.
CC: After you give me a mark there, we'11 give you - I'11 talk to you about it.
CDR-EVA: I'm sorry, Bob. I guess you - you didn't hear it. I - we're passed the end of the antenna and we're headed south or north - northeast.
CC: Okay, I - -
CDR-EVA: That screw you up?
CC: Did you give me a mark when you started or a mark when you passed the antenna?
CDR-EVA: Is that good enollgh or do you want me to go back?
P: in SEP is, Just below the
P: in Poppy. In which case you're probably driving through that little crater that's Just to the northeast there.
CC: That's probably the one you came upon.
CDR-EVA: Not very little, though. I_4P-EVA Okay, Bob. Boy, I wish I could see a little bit better.
LMP-EVA: I think you ought to bear left, don't you?
CDR-EVA: Yes. That's where I'm going here. I just want to get across this mounted boulders.
CDR-EVA: I tell you, going is a little bit rough; there's a population of blocks as Jack said and there is an awful lot of small craters.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I was just going to add that the frequency of craters in the 10-meter size range is quite a bit higher than we were used to yesterday. Oops, there's one.
LMP-EVA: Snuck up on you. And they all - although not ex- ceptionally blocky rim - they all have a slightly, maybe 2 or B or 5 percent more blocks in their walls and on their rim than do the - does the normal terrain.
CC: Roger, Jack. Copy that.
LMP-EVA: Still no - still no obvious structure within the dark mantling material itself.
CDR-EVA: Bob, you said 185/1.57
LMP-EVA: What do you want? For the Rover?
CDR-EVA: Yes, for a sample. I24P-EVA Oh, they changed it on us. Okay. Okay - there's - still seeing the little pit-bottom craters with the glass in them. I've forgotten the acronym already, Bob, I'm sorry. And you asked me for an
LMP: frame count awhile back and I believe it was 5. That was at the SEP.
CC: That was after the SEP photos, right?
LMP-EVA: That's affirm. Negative; that was before the SEP photos.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Bob, looking up at the North Massif, we see the scattered, strewn field of boulders, that generally seem to start from a - more or less, from a line of large boulders, which might in- dicate some structure. And those lines are roughly horizontal across the face that we're looking at. The boulder tracks are irregular in shape, obvi- ously downhill, but you'11 see in the pictures that they - that they are curved in places but they're all - that I see - tend to be aggregates of little craters - where the boulder was ob- viously tumbling and bouncing a little bit. We're out in population of fragments now in the immedi- ate area at i - is that 1887
LMP-EVA: It's generally about i percent between craters. But at the crater rims, it's up to about 5 percent.
CC: Okay. Copy that, Jack. And how far down the North Massif - -
LMP-EVA: And these craters - -
CC: - - is the line of boulders? 108A/4B Tape
LMP-EVA: Oh, there are several of them, Bob. What I'm talking about is about 100-meter-long lines where the boulder trains initiate and they are - there's one about - looks like about halfway - maybe two-thirds of the way down in perspective. Another one that's probably about halfway - they're Just sort of scattered around on the Massif.
LMP-EVA: I think we're getting close to - No, we couldn't be.
CDR-EVA: I've got to move over here a little.
CDR-EVA: Yes, our heading that they're sending us down here, it really should put us to west of Jones. So that's about right. A lot of static in the background today.
CC: Yes, I think we are t_lking to you guys through the LM right now, and how about a speed reading?
CDR-EVA: Sculptured Hills.
LMP-EVA: - - Sculptured Hills, though, is evident as soon as you come out of the Wessex Cleft. APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION

CMP: ... they just put that decal for the heck of it. Do I use the rest of them for targets of oppor- tunity?
CC: Stand by. I'11 check with Chuck here.
CMP: Well, it's clear we've got one or two of them left here, you know, and I'11 just keep it handy, and take them until - until the ... turns red, you know?
CMP: The next one might be the last one (laughter).
CMP: Is there any way the Surgeon there can tell which - which two things are out of service or is it all three of them or - You know, those things come in packages of twos, not threes.
CC: Okay. Why don't you say it again, Ron? I just punched up the Surgeon here. Why don't you say it again, please?
CMP: Okay. Is there any way the Surgeon can tell which lead needs to be fixed or which two leads, because the ... of all those things come in packages of twos, you know?
CC: Hey, Ron, we Just talked it over down here. EKG is good and just forget the ZPN for another day. Just go EKG and forget the ZPN. That's compli- ments of Dr. Z.
CMP: Oh. Hey, beautiful. No wonder it looked kind of erratic, because I didn't even have ZPN on (laughter ).
CMP: Yes, last night I moved those - moved all three sensors on the EKG to different spots and put some of that cream stuff on them, and I think that helped.
CC: Roger. He can tell and he noticed that. And it's i_roved their signal on the EKG part.
CMP: Oh, ok_v.
CC: Ron, we're about ready to lose you in about 10 minutes. Everything's fine. We'11 make one more final go-around the room before you go out of sight. I'm watching your buddies down there. They're up against a rock, which is about twice as tall as they are, and they're trying - pounding away on the side of it. Doesn't look like they're having much luck getting anything off of it, but they're beating on it.
CMP: (L_,_hter) Tell those guys that if they don't roll a rock down a crater - They're supposed to do that for me.
CC: Right. I think, I think Jack got the nickname "Twinkle Toes" last night. He was bouncing around very graceful. Every time he'd hit the rock, he'd fall over down there.
CMP: (Laughter) Oh, great.
CC: Ron, everything's looking good as you go here to LOS; no problems at all. Your buddies are down at station 6 right now.
CMP: Oh, okay. We thank you much.
CC: Okay. See you around the other side. On the Flight Plan schedule now -
CMP: (Chuckle) Okay.
CMP: ..., I think.
CMP: Houston, America. Roger. Loud and clear.
CC: How you doing up there, Ron?
CMP: Okay; real fine. I just saw a - part of these rilles - type things, and it's got a light-brown - well, dark-brown - it's almost a mare-type coloring - heading in the southeast-northwest direction. And it's down from - oh, yes, there's Saenger, east of Saenger yet. Let me find it on my map.
CC: Down east of Saenger there, you get into the first Arabia ring of Arabia or the second ring of there.
CMP: Yes. Hey, you know this is - Let me get this picture. This is the first time I've really been able to see that first ring of Arabia.
CC: You think - think you see it, huh? And
CMP: it shows up as - Yes. It - I'11 take two of them. First, I'd better get the dark slide out. The way the Sun is shining on the darn thing, and it shows up as a bright - I'11 be darned!

CMP: Okay, I better I guess.
CMP: Okay. Frames - last three frames before 128 were also looking east. Okay, we had an update, huh?
CC: Lunar sounder pad is at 166:40 on the Flight Plan. Let's do that one first, okay?
CC: Okay. T-start time, 166:42:12; T-stop time, 47:10.

CMP: (Laughter) That's really tweaking it up. 283, 063, and 328.
CC: Roger. And over there at 167:55 where it's - the antenna retract bit?
CMP: Yes; right.
CC: Okay. It's pretty obvious we want to take "HF antenna 2, retract" and move it above "HF anten- na 1." We'11 call for the retract - make sure we're ready, and we'11 also cue it on our cue, Ron. What we want to do is look at HF antenna 2 retract all the way, get the times, et cetera, and then we'11 go ahead and retract HF antenna 1.
CMP: Oh, okay. Sounds reasonable.
CC: Okay, Ron, we're all Just standing by. That takes care of the Flight Plan updates, and we're Just standing by for your visuals. This pass you're to concentrate on the landing site and the D-Caldera, you know?
CC: Ron, we want to concentrate on the small-scale features, and your binoculars may be what you We need. want to look at the dark-halo craters in the site area and examination of D-Cs_ldera with the binocs.
CMP: Okay. That sounds like a good idea. We'11 see what we can - (Lal_bter) That's crazy. I go over in inertial attitude, and every time I look out the window, I've got to look in a different direction.
CC: Roger; we understand.
CMP: (Laughter ) It 's funny.

CMP: l%_.A_ole.
CC: - - an awful lot - Yes, okay (laughter). Looks an awful lot like it and what we're trying to do is see what you see from there, and that may give us some correlation on some of these other ones.
CMP: Okay. I got to take a look and see which one's Shorty.
CC: Ron, it's the dark crater on the slide, the dark crater on the slide.
CMP: Oh, okay. 109A/1 Tape
UNKNOWN: Yes. And they look like there are boulders up on the side of Sculptured Hills, except that they aren't nearly as big as those on the North Massif. The areas where the boulder source is look like they're made up of boulders no bigger than a meter maybe; whereas, the North Massif coulders are up to several meters. Those boulder sources all seem to be up within a third of the height of the Sculptured Hills, just south of - Just east of the massif - of the Wessex Cleft. Here is a boulder track that crossed the slope. See that, Geno?
LMP-EVA: Yes, it does. Looks like it may be broken now.
CDR-EVA: Bob, what did you say - 188/2 point something.
CC: 2.8.
CDR-EVA: Okay, thank you. See that big boulder, Jack, with those tracks?
LMP-EVA: Yes, it looks like - -
CDR-EVA: That's Funny looking boulder.
LMP-EVA: It looks like it may have stopped rolling because it broke up.
CDR-EVA: Looks broken to me now.
CDR-EVA: Boy, they've got the low gain right on. But, I tell you, we still got static.
LMP-EVA: I don't have any, Gene. You may - -
CDR-EVA: Well, I sure do.
LMP-EVA: ... Okay, you've got yourself in some holes here. You've never - I've read you all along, though, so there's no problem. Okay, there's a big crater. I haven't recognized Jones yet. Looks like you're getting up on the rim of Henry here.
CDR-EVA: Yes - no, Henry should be to - I'm well - should be well west of Henry, I think. I wouldn't be surprised if Henry isn't right over that little rise on the right.
LMP-EVA: Bob, the surface structure hasn't changed texture. We're on a little bit of a rise in here now and still about i percent of the surface - -
CDR-EVA: There's Henry right there, Jack.
CC: Okay, how about a range and bearing.
LMP-EVA: I thought you were close to Henry. 188/1.8.
LMP-EVA: On the rim. Oh, Prince Henry the Navigator.
LMP-EVA: It's called a wheel, I think. And Henry looks much like Horatio did. Has boulders on its inner wall - not as many. They look light colored - a light albedo gabbroic appearance. There may be some right down there, though, that are fine grained; they look a little grayer. 109A/3 Tape
LMP-EVA: See the one we've got over there has a boulder track. That's the one, that crossslope.
CDR-EVA: Yes, if we could get up high - -
CDR-EVA: That's the one - That's station 6, and that was the - the turning boulder.
CDR-EVA: Yes, that 's it.
CDR-EVA: Station 6 - we can probably get up there.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Here we are - 1.5 and 185.
LMP-EVA: Okay, is this a Rover sample?
CDR-EVA: A Rover sample.
CDR-EVA: Tell me where you want it.

CDR-EVA: Your bag open?
CDR-EVA: Okay, it's in.
LMP-EVA: - We ought to tape that bead down if we can re- member it next stop. It's in the way of - it's sticking up.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'11 get it. That thing came down - came off that piece of Velcro. I'11 get it when I get back.
LMP-EVA: Okay. And LMP's frame count is 35.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob, I'd like a - bearing and range.
CC: Okay. Bearing and range for the large block, just beyond - let's see, it's just beyond the crater Henry. The large clock there near the break of the slope, which is our next aiming point. The bearing and range there is 188 and 2.8.
CDR-EVA: 188 and 2.8. Roger.
CC: Okay. And, Jack, do you - what do you see in the way of boulders coming down the base of the Sculptured Hills, in terms of sampling opportuni- ties of station 8 and in terms of any boulder tracks that we might - might lead down to boulders that might just possibly be accessible at sta- tion 8.
LMP-EVA: Roger, Gene. Boulder tracks are not obvious on Sculptured Hills at all. It looks like there are fragments over there that would have had their sources higher up the slope. I think we can get boulders there. Tap 109A/5
CC: Okay; copy that. We'11 see - -
CDR-EVA: We'11 have to get a little closer, Bob.
CC: We'11 find out in a couple of hours.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I will give you a reading on that before long. I wouldn't eliminate station 8 for the world - or the Moon, whatever's available today.
LMP-EVA: I think we can; it doesn't look too bad. At the break in slope, right now, doesn't show anything obvious, except that's where the boulders start.
CC: Okay, we hope that's fairly obvious.
LMP-EVA: And on up the hill you have ... -
LMP-EVA: But as I was saying, Henry Just looks like some- what more mantled Horatio (laughter). Getting to be ridiculous.
CDR-EVA: Say, Bob, I'm navigating - headed northwest now - to get around the western rim of Henry.
LMP-EVA: And on that west rim, we've got about 10 or - 10 percent boulder cover.
CC: Okay, And a reminder, Jack, to keep taking your Rober photos.
LMP-EVA: Yes, sir. And when I - By boulder, I generally mean fragment, Bob, in this case. When I say 10 percent, I'm looking at stuff greater than about a centimeter in diameter. I'11 try to say fragment from now on and be more precise. Okay. Here's a little area where there's - This part of Henry - this is the one part of the rim of Henry I see that has fairly large fragments, or boulders, on them up to 2 or 3 meters. But, again, they all appear to be buried. There are very few, except small ones, sitting out on the surface.
CDR-EVA: And, you know, the fragment population out here only goes out to maybe 200 meters, I expect.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Now this concentration of boulders is be- cause of a 50-meter crater in the rim of Henry.
CC: Okay, say that sounds like a lot ... - -
LMP-EVA: I think that was one that we -
CDR-EVA: Take a picture in here, Jack.
CDR-EVA: · I'm getting the pictur e .
LMP-EVA: Okay. That's -
CDR-EVA: Yes, Locke's right ahead of us.
LMP-EVA: This is one on the - about 50 meters right on the rim crest of Henry, almost due - the west rim - due west rim. Now Locke is just ahead of us. It also has boulders in its walls but has relatively few on the rim.
CC: Okay. Copy that. is a re - essentially no change in the average frequency of boulders on the rim. The increase comes in the wall.
CDR-EVA: We're at 184/2.3. We're Just about between Henry and - -
LMP-EVA: Locke.
CDR-EVA: Locke. Yes; right between them.
LMP-EVA: Well, we're - Gene's sort of headed for station 6 now. get a case on it.
LMP-EVA: Bob, the boulder concentrations in the wall of Henry have their upslope start at about - oh, I would guess an average of 30 meters down from the rim crest. The rim crest of Henry is not very well defined, but it's there. And they - from that initiation of boulders, they stream down the slope to the break in - in slope down at the floor. Still no obvious change in the dark mantle, as we're just to the east of Locke now. There's some - there's a 30-meter crater, fairly subdued but still quite deep - subdued rim. Again, it looks as if it were mantled; that - has no sig- nificant increase in blocks on its rim. That crater, in any other place, would have been a very blocky-rim crater. It has - its maybe 30 meters and- by 5 meters deep. Man, that is a big rock up there. Turning Point Rock is a split rock - has a - looks like a northwest-southeast overhang, with another block just this side of it - Just to the south of that overhang. It's a pyramid shape in cross section - triangular shape in cross sec- tion. And it looks like it is pretty well frac- tured, although not pervasively like the rock at Shorty was.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jack, I know I can get up to that - to station 6.
CDR-EVA: I might drive up there.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Now, Bob, station 6 rock - one of them - is from that boulder track that runs obliquely across the contour.
CC: Okay. I copy that, Jack. Sounds like good news.
LMP-EVA: And there's - the pictures ought to be able to - the pictures ought to pin down its - at least the end of the boulder track pretty well.
CDR-EVA: Boy, this is a big rock, Jack. Whew.
LMP-EVA: As I recall - as I saw it, the boulder tracks stopped about halfway up the slope of the North Massif. That is a big rock.
CDR-EVA: We're at Turning Point Rock. And it looks like it's - I don't know if it's mantled on top, but it's certainly filleted. There's a - a lot of the dark mantle up end on some of the shallower slopes of the boulder. And it's on a little mound itself, as if much of it might be covered up.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Okay. It looks like a breccia from here.
CDR-EVA: Can you get a sample of it right here? You see these little chips?
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob. I'm 3 meters from Turning Point Rock on the east side, and I'm reading 186 and 2.8.
LMP-EVA: - - to the - right there, let's see - no_ I can get them. The thing is, I don't know what it is.
CDR-EVA: Well, but ... it's part of these fragments around here. I guess Turning Point Rock is l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, - 6 meters high anyway. It's a - Well, I'd say it's a very rough subrounded type of rock - by the face - let me get this, Jack. Okay. There are two fragments in that sample.
CDR-EVA: 47 Yankee. 109A/9 Tape
LMP-EVA: Plus some dirt. And it's about 4 meters from the - Turning Point Rock on the north side.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I got a couple. I hope they're good.
LMP-EVA: And my locater is - -
LMP-EVA: - - 5, 6.
LMP-EVA: Copy that.
CDR-EVA: Jack, let me spin around this little crater here to the left.
LMP-EVA: Bob, it looks - it's very coarsely vesicular; but, at first glance, it did not look like the pyroxene gabbro - although the rock - that rock does. I - It looks like it might be fragmental, although I'm suspicious that I'm looking at zap pits. That'd be a - Oh, yes - Getting them. I got them. Pick one. That's a nice view.
CDR-EVA: And we're on a little rise looking at this boulder. That's incredible.
CDR-EVA: Okay. We're on the roll, Bob.
CDR-EVA: You know that -
LMP-EVA: Bob, my guess is, right now, is that Turning Point Rock is a big piece of subfloor gabbro.
CC: Okay. I gather you changed your opinion.
LMP-EVA: What looked like fragments is just - what looked like fragments is Just big spalls - spalls of where the zap pits have cleaned off the rock.
CC: Okay. I copy that. And, guys, you might be happy to know that we think we've finally found the LM, because we were calling that for 188 and 2.8, and you got there at 186 and 2.8.
LMP-EVA: That's not bad. Okay - -
CDR-EVA: It's a split one up there, Jack. I've had nV eye on it. There's some big boulders down here.
LMP-EVA: Got it. I sort of lost track of station 6.
CDR-EVA: Now, I got it. I've had my eye on that boulder. You can't see the track from here. I'11 bet you can. I can see it now. We'11 see it - we'11 be looking right up it - looking right up the old boulder track. Man, I tell you, this navigating through here is not - -
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're in a region where the really - the general fragment population is no different. We're up on the - off the break in slope, although you wouldn't notice it - but we are quite a ways. And the - but the fragment population is not much dif- ferent than that on the plains. The big difference is that there are these scattered blocks that are from a meter to probably 10 meters - no, 5 meters in diameter. Hard to say, maybe 8.
CDR-EVA: See that track coming down? We'11 be looking right up that track.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Hit it.
LMP-EVA: Oh, I feel fine. I Just - until I looked down there and saw the slope we're on.
LMP-EVA: And I can't see any obvious change in albedo, like we could see with the light mantle yesterday. You - you - You got a - don't - There you got a nice - nice place. Oh, oh, you don't want to go over that way.
CDR-EVA: I can make it. I want to park right - -
CC: And, 17, you want to park at a heading of 107; we're going to open the battery covers and let them cool at the station. To a heading of 107.
CDR-EVA: Well, if I park on the other side, they won't be able to - I can go right upslope a little bit.
LMP-EVA: That's all right. We can work in there. No, that's all right.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I can't go up there. Let me Just - This is going to have to be good. I can't go up there.
CDR-EVA: That's not too level, but - -
LMP-EVA: Oh, not too - not too hard. Watch that turn.
CDR-EVA: That's not very level, but we're not going to get zGch more level than that.
LMP-EVA: Oh, that's good.
CDR-EVA: Let me - they wanted 107. That's the best I can do. That's not very level for the gravimeter, but - Let me see if I can get comm. Hey, Bob, how do you read?
CC: Loud and clear, 17. How do you read?
CDR-EVA: Okay. We're parked on a heading of 107. Are you happy with that?
CC: Roger. Sounds great.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) You parked on a slope, too.
CDR-EVA: There's no level - there's no level spot to park, here, though.
LMP-EVA: You want me - some help getting off?
CDR-EVA: I've got to go uphill.
LMP-EVA: I Just about ended up down at the bottom of the hill.
CDR-EVA: Okay; 192/3.8, 3.1; 88 and 80; 108 and 0 on the batteries. The forward motors are 220 and 270, and the rears are 0 off scale low and 220. got the brake on, I hope.
CDR-EVA: You betcha. I don't know if I can lean uphill or not. (Laughter) I can't. Holy Smoley. Boy, are we on a slope'
LMP-EVA: You okay?
LMP-EVA: I don't think you can ...
CDR-EVA: Boy, are we on a slope! rocks. It's a beautiful east-west split rock. It's even got a north overhang that we can work with. And let me see what it is. We're right at station 6. You wouldn't believe it.
CDR-EVA: I would. Oh, man, what a slope'
LMP-EVA: And this boulder's got its own little track, right up the hill, cross contoured. It's a chain of Tape !09A/13 craters track, and it looks like it stops ... where it started. It starts in, what looks to be, a lighter colored linear zone - trying to give you perspective; it's probably only about a third of the way up the North Massif. Bob, are you reading us?
CC: Read you loud and clear; and we got a picture.
CC: Okay. It'11 pick up to 15 degrees.
CDR-EVA: Bob, this is a - Well, it is going to have it.
LMP-EVA: It's a coarsely vesicular, crystalline rock - finely crystalline. Looks like a - probably an anorthositic gabbro - trying to see the zap pits. For glass color, I don't have a good one yet.
CDR-EVA: Say, Bob, you want both the recorder and the - and the other switch off?
CC: Roger. Both of those off, and the - -
CDR-EVA: Oh, man, it is hard to get around here.
LMP-EVA: Bob, it looks like the glass is fairly light colored. It's not white. Well no - it's black. It's anorthositic gabbro, rather than gabbroic anorthosite, I think. Yes, that's black glass in the pits.
CC: Okay. And, Gene, did you happen to notice the ... On the stuff when you dusted them?
CDR-EVA: I didn't dust it yet.
LMP-EVA: Bob, some of the vesicles are - they're flattened. All of them are flattened. There's a strong foliation of vesicles in the rock. Most of them are flattened, and they are up to 15 or 20 centi- meters in diameter and about 5 to 6 centimeters thick - or wide.
LMP-EVA: And there's some beautiful north overhangs all around the block. Well, (laughter) on the north side of the block.
CC: Okay. That's the best place - that north overhang; and I guess that means one of you guys might grab can the SEC - the small - before you leave the Rover.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob. It's going to take me awhile to dust. I tell you - -
CDR-EVA: Hard to get around here.
LMP-EVA: Bob, let's get it straight. You w - want - let's get it straight, you want the north overhang sample in the SEC - or the short can?
CC: Miracle of miracles. They don't want the short can. I'm not sure I understand that, Jack, but they don't want the short can here, they say, I guess they're looking for volcanic today.
LMP-EVA: Okay, we'11 put them in bags. Oh, man -
CC: They're looking for volcanic today, Jack.
LMP-EVA: This is - Now, that foliation I mentioned does not go all the way through the rock. There are variations in texture. One zone was strongly foliated. There's another - it almost looks like a large - it is - a large inclusion of nonvesicular rock within the vesicular rock. There may be some autobrecciation involved in the formation of this thing. It really looks mineralogically like the light-colored samples from the South Massif. But I - I tell you, that's only because it's light colored, and I - I can't give you anymore than that until right now, we get a fresh surface. 109A/15 Tape
CDR-EVA: 110 degrees on the SEP and you want the tape - the cover closed, right?
CDR-EVA: Okay. Cover's open.
CC: Okay. And did you get the batteries - -
CDR-EVA: Oh, my golly.
CC: - the LRV battery covers open. We didn't copy that, Gene.
CDR-EVA: No, I didn't copy that you wanted them open. I Just got 107. I was abo_t to ask you that.
LMP-EVA: Oh, shoot! Bob. I gave you one at the rock. It's now 68.
LMP-EVA: I think I'11 - -
CDR-EVA: Man, that - I think we're probably pitch 20 and roll 20.
LMP-EVA: I think I'11 get over here and get a pan while we're ... sample.
CDR-EVA: Oh, I got to dust those radiators. I can't leave them like that. I tell you, this is not a very good place to dust them, though. Let me try one time. Oh, boy.
LMP-EVA: Be careful, Geno. Need some help?
CDR-EVA: No. I need a little finesse, though. It's one thing to reach over - here and do this on level ground. I don't know if I can do that without falling on the battery.
LMP-EVA: Well, I found a place to stand where I can take a pan.
CDR-EVA: Bob, I'm going to have to give you a good battery brushing at the next site. I can't get - I get half of them, but I can't get the other half. It's too slopey.
CDR-EVA: But the covers are open. What are you working on, Jack?
LMP-EVA: I 'm taking a pan.
CDR-EVA: Very good. I'm coming right now. I bet you a dollar to doughnuts that you don't get a TGE reading.
CC: Yes, Gene. If you're - if it's easy enough to take it off, why don't you take it off the Rover; and we'11 try and level it in the stuff.
CDR-EVA: Oh, come on. (Laughter) I'm not sure there's any place to put it on the ground level.
LMP-EVA: No, you have to dig a place.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'11 do it. Okay. It's coming off. Well, I'11 set it right up here.
LMP-EVA: It's going to fall down the hill. You'd better stomp off a good place.
CDR-EVA: Yes. That looks level to me. Can you see it from there?
LMP-EVA: Well, I can see it.
CDR-EVA: MARK. Gravity.
CC: Copy the mark - - 109A/17 Tape
CDR-EVA: It's flashing. Okay; now let me get to work. Okay. ... My fender got a little kinked here, which isn't going to help us.
CC: Hey, Jack. And we see your gold visor up? You may want to put it down out here in the Sun.
LMP-EVA: Well, I think I might - I can't see with it down; it's scratched. Bob, I'11 use it.
CDR-EVA: I think I can monitor that one.
LMP-EVA: Hey, I'm standing on a boulder track. How does that make you feel?
CDR-EVA: That m-kes me feel like I'm coming over to do some sampling. Think how it would have been if you were standing therebefore that boulder came by.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let's go. You got a spot picked while you're here?
LMP-EVA: Well, the big thing is, let's get those - let's get the boulder and then get in that east-west split. Bob, I got an undo_ented sample from the middle of the boulder track.
CDR-EVA: Whew!
LMP-EVA: Soil sample. Gene, if you hit them off in there, it's going to be awful hard to find them, that's the problem.
CDR-EVA: Did you pick a spot - a good spot while you were over here?
LMP-EVA: No, I didn't. I just was looking at it. I think we need to get in the light, though.
CDR-EVA: I - I can see with my gold visor.
LMP-EVA: Let me put a sample in your bag.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Go ahead.
LMP-EVA: It's bag - shoot - it's 534.
CDR-EVA: This boulder looks fairly uniform from top to bottom. soil.
CDR-EVA: Let's get where we can get that 90-degree picture, too; so we want to get on the - really ought to get on the Sun side. Let me get that slab right there, though, to start with. I can get that one off. Well, there's no - let's go over on the Sun side because we can't really photograph it.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I got to get out of here first.
CDR-EVA: Let' s go through the split.
LMP-EVA: Well, okay. Be careful, though. Why don't we sample the split first so we don't - -
CDR-EVA: Look at that overhang. Man, I tell you, if you can get your shovel down there, you'd have a ball.
LMP-EVA: Yes, let's sample in the split first so that we don't get it too messed up. And then we can sample some of this stuff. Not - we want this overhang over here, Geno - the north facing one.
LMP-EVA: Yes. I got to get - sneak by over there. Whoops! Don't shuffle too much dirt in there.
CDR-EVA: Okay. You by me so I can set the gnomon down.
LMP-EVA: Not quite. Don't think I can make it - without hitting you. I can't.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Now try it. !09A/19 Tape
LMP-EVA: Set it down Just outside the shadow here. Right - Whoa - right there. That's good. There's still some good clean ground there. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I can get back far enough to take these pictures. I want to go get a stereo pan around the corner anyway. Let's see if I can't start 5/6. here with about I'm so close.
CDR-EVA: I must have a boulder ...
LMP-EVA: I'11 get it. Let me - -
CDR-EVA: - I'm going to go around the cor - I got it now.
CDR-EVA: All set.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm going to get the shadowed material.
CDR-EVA: It's in bag 312, Bob.
CC: Copy 312.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Can you reach it?
LMP-EVA: I will in a minute. You can turn it a little bit towards me. Okay; 312. And the soil outside the overhang will be next.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Go get it.
LMP-EVA: And the first one is from the upper 2 centimeters.
CDR-EVA: Bag 313.
CC: Copy 313.
LMP-EVA: And the second one is from probably down - from 2 centimeters down to about 8.
LMP-EVA: Bob, it looks like the fragment just to the - or the boulder Just to the south of us has some inclusions in it - light-colored inclusions.
CDR-EVA: Bag 472 on that.
CC: Copy 472 on that. You mean the south half of the split boulder?
LMP-EVA: Yes. I haven't seen inclusions in the other half.
CDR-EVA: Okay? Okay. Now we need boulder stuff.
LMP-EVA: You happy with that, Houston? Let's get ...
CC: Yes, we're happy with that ...
LMP-EVA: It's a little hard, huh? I think - -
CDR-EVA: I've got to find a corner I can get at.
CDR-EVA: Let me get an after picture down in this hole.
LMP-EVA: Oh, that's right. You almost stepped on the - I forgot the after, too.
LMP-EVA: Hey, there are chips up here on top. Also, that's been spalled off.
CDR-EVA: Yes. 109A/21 Tape
LMP-EVA: We can get some of those, but - -
CDR-EVA: Looks like somebody's been chipping up there. Looks like there's been a geologist here before ILS.
CDR-EVA: Let me get the gnomon. I think I can get some of these pieces over here. I want to get that 90-degree angular flight line around this boulder, too.
LMP-EVA: Bob, the more I look at this thing - here's the piece that fell off. Here's the piec_ that was knocked off up there.
CDR-EVA: We ought to bring a big piece of that home. That's obvious it's obvious --
LMP-EVA: How about this one up here? Take your picture. I think we can Just lift that off. See that?
LMP-EVA: I'd better get - -
LMP-EVA: Okay. I was going to get my down-Sun, but I'm ...
CDR-EVA: You may be down-Sun if you do.
LMP-EVA: Yes, we'11 get some. Get it?
CDR-EVA: Yes, will it come off?
CDR-EVA: Just throw it in my bag, It's broken, but it's in place. That's a nice, big piece, too. It's about the size of a - -
LMP-EVA: Don't you put it in mine. I can't get a thing in it.
CDR-EVA: Don't move.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Bob, there's a big spall lying on the ground here that has been knocked off up there, from right on top of the boulder. And, I tell you, the more I look at this - the south half of this boulder, the more heterogeneous in texture it looks. It looks as if it may be either a recrystallized breccia of some kind, or you had a gabbroic anorthosite - magma catch up an awful lot of inclusions. I guess I prefer the latter explana- tion because of the extreme vesicularity of the rock.
CC: Okay; very interesting. well, they're all subrounded to rounded, and a few - and a few of them are very light colored. I'm going to try -
CDR-EVA: I'm coming around the corner ...
LMP-EVA: Are you going to do it now? Okay. Well, you know, I ought to get one shot back here with a black and white. I'11 get this halfblack and white.
CDR-EVA: Okay, if we could get -
LMP-EVA: I think we ought to pick up a piece of that spall there by the gnomon -
CDR-EVA: I can break it off.
LMP-EVA: There's one right by the gnomon we can just pick up. It's a finer-grained vesicular rock than - wait - where - -
CDR-EVA: Oh, oh, oh, oh -
LMP-EVA: I tho_ght I was going to get this half.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I don't care. I've started down, Jack.
LMP-EVA: Well, they like to have some of it in black and white, you know.
CDR-EVA: I'11 get that rock.
LMP-EVA: I forgot to look at the objectives for this station. I hope we're meeting them.
CDR-EVA: Well, we want to get 500s of that boulder track. I know I want to get that.
LMP-EVA: Okay. A piece of that Spalled rock that was sitti'ng by the gnomon - Ooh, watch out gnomon. How about that? - is in -bag 535.
CDR-EVA: You got one in there already?
CDR-EVA: You won't be able to reach - you won't be able to reach my bag.
LMP-EVA: No, but you can put it in mine. Can you reach it?
CDR-EVA: Oh, darn it.
LMP-EVA: Bob, one of the light-colored inclusions looks like it may be anorthositic - gabbroic anorthosite - Let me get my terms straight. The host rock has dark enough zap pits that it's probably gab - anorthositic gabbro, if I didn't say that. Some of the light-colored inclusions have slightly lighter colored glass, and they may be the gab- broic anorthosite.
LMP-EVA: Inclusions like this one and that one.
CDR-EVA: Some of those inclusions get to be bigger than the size of a baseball. There's one here and a couple up there.
LMP-EVA: Let be borrow your h-mmer. higher.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Jack, try a little See that one right on the - right there. Right -
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's a hard rock.
LMP-EVA: Yes, that's a hard rock. You might be able to do it; I can't.
CDR-EVA: I can't get down there. Okay, we need some of the soil outside the shadow here.
LMP-EVA: Yes. How about over where your bag went? Let's move around here - I think there is some - oops! Get on this Slope over here. Okay. How about out over here? Are we supposed to get a - Where are we here?
CDR-EVA: I don't know. I'd like to get -When you face uphill, your camera faces down.
LMP-EVA: We want to get a rake on the rim of that little crater down there, I guess.
CC: Okay, 17. Roger. You were asking about objectives. Of course the primary objective is docu - documented samples of the blocks; and then, also, we'd like to get some of the rake and soil sample out in the surface, namely, the rim crater there, if that's available. And one of the things, of course, we're looking for is the variety of rocks here, if there's more than Just the one boulder. You can sample the boulder for awhile, but we would be interested in seeing if there is more than Just the single type of rock. Probably, also, samples from both sides - both halves of the rock. What we said this morning in terms of combining stations 6 and 7 to an hour and 20 minutes -
LMP-EVA: Come on up here, Geno.
LMP-EVA: If you can.
CC: And so it's sort of your option as to how much time you spend here and how much you go on to station 7 and spend. If you feel that it's worthwhiie, we could spend essentially all that hour and 20 min- utes at this station. But if we did that, we'd like to get a fair variety of blocks, if they're available.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Geno, we sampled some of the light colored group - as a matter of fact, this block looks different.
LMP-EVA: It's gra_er.
LMP-EVA: What it is, I think - it's a big blue-gray rock - itself is crystalline, I believe. The inclusions are much more sharply defined, and it's nonvesicular; and it's included, or at least it's in contact with the very vesicular anorthositic gabbro - right up there. See that?
CDR-EVA: As I bounced around there, I took pictures of it.
LMP-EVA: Look, we can get some of that light-colored stuf_ in there, along with the blue-gray.
CDR-EVA: We ought to get as big a piece of that inclusion
CDR-EVA: Yes. I think we're out of line of sight with them. We're behind a boulder.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob, the boulder downslope is more of a light-gray vesicular boulder. The one Jack just talked about with some of the larger white inclu- sions is less vesicular, and it's a - more of blue- gray rock. And if I don't fall on my tail here, I'11 get - -
LMP-EVA: The locator is of Henry.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let me try and get up there. Henry? We must be high enough to see something. I haven't even looked back.
LMP-EVA: Let me get a closeup before you start pounding.
CDR-EVA: No, I might go from this angle too. That will give them something a little different up in there too, Jack.
CDR-EVA: We ought to try and sample that. Okay. Let's get the -
LMP-EVA: You want me to get my scoop under there? Probably won't fall out.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Get as many of these pieces as we can. I don't know how many are going to come out.
CDR-EVA: Outstanding! Outstanding! This whole thing wi lj come out here in a minute.
LMP-EVA: I'11 watch it. I'11 watch it. Got it?
CDR-EVA: Move your arm up or down. Okay. I got it in case we don't get another one.
CDR-EVA: Hey, we're getting good at that.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Can't hold that much longer.
CDR-EVA: Let me get up on this - up here.
LMP-EVA: Why don't we get a - get a bag out. Let me put these in a bag.
CDR-EVA: That's why I'm getting up here so I can - -
CDR-EVA: - - Just get my balance. Bob, 556 is one of the light-colored inclusions in the blue-gray rock.
LMP-EVA: It's chips.
CDR-EVA: Yes, it's pretty easy to break up; it's really not very coherent at all.
LMP-EVA: You know, I thought last night, Bob, that I should use the word aplitic for a texture that we saw in that inclusion yesterday on the South Massif.
CDR-EVA: If I could keep from falling on my tail.
LMP-EVA: Okay, you going to get some of that?
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's a different kind; that's a more beat up inclusion of some sort. Oh, there's a nice piece coming out. Oh, wait a minute - _n't lose it.
LMP-EVA: I got it. I've got it.
CDR-EVA: Okay. We have another inclusion that, on the surface, has a more reddish-brown texture. In- terior looks pretty much the same; it's a very light gray.
LMP-EVA: This looks like a piece of breccia Looks like a fragment briccia that got caught up in this thing.
CDR-EVA: Yes, well, the whole thing is obviously a breccia. I'd sure like to get that - -
LMP-EVA: Well, I'd say - I'm not sure; it's obviously a breccia. I think it may - may be an igneous rock with breccia inclusions.
CDR-EVA: Well, okay, but -
LMP-EVA: Which is sort of in the same class.
CDR-EVA: Sort of makes a breccia - -
CDR-EVA: - - out of the big rock.
CDR-EVA: Except you can - -
LMP-EVA: I can't get in there, Geno, you'11 have to.
LMP-EVA: No way -
CDR-EVA: Let me -
LMP-EVA: Watch it. Hold still - opps. I think it's easier for you.
CDR-EVA: Did I give them a number on that? - No.
CDR-EVA: It's - 5 - 536.
LMP-EVA: Squash it - cramp it a little bit, if you can; a little more.
CC: Roger. 5B6 for the last one.
CDR-EVA: Let's get a - -
CDR-EVA: How about this one, with the inclusion? Maybe I can get this one.
CC: Okay; and, l?, we'd like -
LMP-EVA: That may have been a little optimistic.
CC: Do you guys have a feeling that the two halves of the big boulder are different rocks? Or is it the same rock split?
LMP-EVA: No, they're - they're two - they were all one boulder, I think. They are just two major rock types in the - whatever they came from. And I tried to describe that to you. We have the con- tact in the control boulder. They're really three big boulders. The central boulder had the contact between the light-gray rock - or the blue- gray rock and the vesicular anorthositic gabbro.
CDR-EVA: I wanted that one cause it had that inclusion wrapped in it. Let me go to high here for a minute. Which one are you talking about? This one here? okay. I've got it. I've got it.
LMP-EVA: ... bag.
CDR-EVA: They're both host rocks; we can put them in the same bag.
LMP-EVA: No, let's don't. No, they're different places. 537, is a chip of the blue-gray rock; and the host - the blue-gray host rock - and let me get that other one -
LMP-EVA: Oh -
CDR-EVA: Oh - Be careful -
