AS 12-46-6806 - Alan Bean carrying the ALSEP
|
|
Al is carrying the ALSEP package out from the LM. As can be seen in a detail, he is walking flat-footed, in part because the mass of the ALSEP packages is nearly the same as the combined mass of him and his suit and backpack and, in part, because the carrybar is flexing and would be difficult to control if he tried to use a loping stride. Note that he is holding the carrybar in his hands, with his arms hanging down in front of him. Other LMPs discovered that it was easier to carry and control the packages by holding their arms up in front of them and getting the carrybar in the elbow crooks. Note the flag and the S-Band antenna to the left of the LM.
