APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6787.jpgAS 12-46-6787 - The RTG package132 visiteCaption NASA originale:"At about 116:43:02 MCT, Al is using the dome removal tool. The fuel element's temperature is at about 1500° and even the dome is hot enough that Al wants to avoid touching it. The RTG is the dark object at his right. The Handtool Carrier (HTC) is at his left with the hammer sticking up out of the corner nearest the camera.
The foreground object at the lower right is ALSEP Package 1, the one that Pete off-loaded. Note that Pete has removed the SIDE from the RTG pallet. It was attached on the side which is now facing the right edge of the picture. Pete took the SIDE off the RTG package at 116:41:29. Note that the Universal Handling Tool (UHT) is sticking out of the right side of the base of the RTG pallet. Pete used the UHT to release a Boyd Bolt that was holding the SIDE on".Giu 07, 2005

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6786.jpgAS 12-46-6786 - The RTG Package133 visiteCaption NASA originale:"At about 116:40:44 (MCT-->Mission Clock Time), Al is pivoting the RTG fuel cask into the horizontal position. The graphite-lined cask contains a plutonium fuel element and was designed to protect the element in the event of a launch abort and re-entry. Once he has the cask lowered, Al will use a special tool to remove the protective dome on the cask and then to remove the fuel element for placement in the RTG. Note that the SEQ bay doors are closed. The object just beyond Al is the Handtool Carrier which he took out of the SEQ bay after the RTG package".Giu 07, 2005

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6785.jpgAS 12-46-6785 - The RTG Package136 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Al has placed the RTG package on the ground. Note the cooling fins on the RTG. Note the pull rings on the edge closest to Al. These pull rings are used to release 'pip pins' with which some pieces of equipment are attached to the RTG pallet. The light-colored piece of gear that is attached to the part of the RTG pallet that is on top in this picture is the SIDE (Suprathermal Ion Detection Experiment). Note the deployment rail and pulleys extending out from the SEQ bay above the upper ends of the lanyards. The distinctive ring-shaped top of the fuel cask can be seen behind the left-hand SEQ bay door. Note the saddlebag on Al's left hip and note, also, that Pete's shadow shows that he is wearing one too".Giu 07, 2005

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6784.jpgAS 12-46-6784 - The ALSEP Package162 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This picture shows ALSEP Package 1, the one that Pete took out of the SEQ bay and then moved to its present location to get it out of the way. Note that Pete's shadow shows that he is wearing a saddlebag".Giu 07, 2005

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6807 HD.jpgAS 12-46-6807 (HD) - The "Aura" around Alan Bean198 visiteLa famosa immagine dell'"aura" intorno ad Alan Bean, su cui il Prof. Hoagland (ed altri) hanno discusso.
C'è un artefatto di cristallo davanti all'Astronauta o si tratta solo di un riflesso ('effetto prismatico')? Secondo noi (ed abbiamo visto anche il frame originale uncompressed) la risposta è piuttosto ovvia, oltre che evidente: è un riflesso.
E Voi che ne dite? Avete dei dubbi?!?Mag 04, 2005

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6756 HR-2.jpgAS 12-46-6756 (HD) - The "unlucky" TV-Camera186 visiteUn intero frame ad AD dedicato alla 'cinepresa' che fece i capricci e, di fatto, impedì al Mondo di vedere quello che gli Astronauti appena usciti dal LM "Intrepid" stavano vedendo e facendo sulla Luna, durante questa semi-sconosciuta Missione Apollo 12.
Una Missione di cui non si conoscono molti dettagli ma che (pare) abbia segnato in maniera piuttosto netta e pesante la vita di uno dei tre Astronauti: Alan Bean.
Sarebbe interessante se, un giorno, fosse lo stesso Alan Bean a raccontare che cosa intendesse quando raccontò, al rientro sulla Terra (e per spiegare il violento esaurimento nervoso che lo afflisse a lungo), di "...visioni distorte della Luna..." che, a quanto parve, apparivano nei suoi sogni.
Una dichiarazione autentica e, se ci pensiamo bene, che riesce a mettere i brividi addosso...Mag 04, 2005

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6716 HR-2.jpgAS 12-46-6716 (HD) - Going down the ladder (1)150 visitePete Conrad scende dalla scaletta del Lunar Module e sta per diventare il Terzo Uomo ad aver messo piede e camminato sulla Luna.
Splendida l'immagine ed eccezionale la qualità dei dettagli (nota: osservate il riflesso della superficie Lunare nel visore di Pete e notate il susseguente cambio di colore che ne deriva a causa della particolare schermatura del visore stesso).Mag 04, 2005

0-The launch of Apollo12-s69-58564.jpgThe Launch of Apollo 12120 visiteLa seconda "Avventura Lunare" sta avendo inizio: un cielo cupo e nuvoloso aspetta il vettore Saturno V che, in questa immagine, si sta appena sollevando da terra.
Una "missione di routine", si dira' in seguito.
Routine.
Che equivale a dire "ordinaria".
Andare sulla Luna era, a parere degli "Esperti", una cosa "ordinaria"!
Eravamo all'inizio degli anni '70... Oggi, andare sulla Luna, e' poco meno di un sogno.
C'e' da pensare, non credete?!?Feb 11, 2005

APOLLO 12 AS 12-49-7318~0.jpgAS 12-49-7318 - Pete Conrad among Moon rocks167 visiteBean took this picture of Conrad from the north during a stop at the south rim of Surveyor Crater. Note the large blocks that have been dug up by the small impact at Pete's right. The Handtool Carrier (HTC) is forward of his left foot. He is holding a scoop in his right hand and the gnomon is on the ground in front of his right foot.Gen 05, 2005

APOLLO 12 AS 12-49-7278.jpgAS 12-49-7278 - The "Special Environmental Sample Container"158 visiteThis superb picture shows Al holding the so-called "long can", a vacuum sealed sample container more formally called the Special Environmental Sample Container (SESC). Photographer Pete Conrad has just poured soil into the can. We can see that the can is nearly full. The long-can lid is hanging by a cord from the bottom. This photo gives us a good view of the top of Al's Hasselblad camera and the cuff checklist and watch on his left sleeve. Note also that reflections of Pete and the Handtool Carrier are visible in Al's visor. Pete Conrad took this photo during the stop at Sharp Crater. Gen 05, 2005
