APOLLO 16 AS 16 117-18818.jpgAS 16-117-18818 - Alignment of the "high-gain" antenna125 visiteThis is a frame from Charlie Duke's Station 10 Prime pan, taken at about 169:19:42 MCT. The image shows John Young aligning the high-gain antenna. The object at the upper left that includes an arc of white spots is the rake basket under unusual lighting conditions. The magnetometer tripod is next right with its ref/orange ribbon cable. The BSLSS bag hangs from the back of the LMP seat. Gen 06, 2005

APOLLO 16 AS 16 113-18379.jpgAS 16-113-18379 - Lunar equipment112 visiteJohn Young's photo from the northeast of the mortar package. Charlie Duke offers this description of the scene: "This picture shows the mortar package with the red flag extended and it's facing off parallel to the geophone line. You can't really see the geophone line in the background, but you can see where John walked. That's basically his footprints along the geophone line and it trends off to the northwest. And you can see the spaghetti cable that goes back to the Central Station - not only for the data but also for the power. The magnetometer's in the far background, just over the mortar package. You can see the RTG and Central Station."Gen 06, 2005

APOLLO 16 AS 16 113-18339.jpgAS 16-113-18339 - A "Postcard from the Moon"123 visiteJohn Young jumps off the ground and salutes for this superb tourist picture. He is off the ground about 1.45 seconds which, in the lunar gravity field, means that he launched himself at a velocity of about 1.17 m/s and reached a maximum height of 0.42 m. Although the suit and backpack weigh as much as he does, his total weight is only about 65 pounds (30 kg) and, to get this height, he only had to bend his knees slightly and then push up with his legs. In the background, we can see the UV astronomy camera, the flag, the LM, the Rover with the TV camera watching John, and Stone Mountain. Gen 06, 2005

APOLLO 16 AS 16 109-17791.jpgAS 16-109-17791 (HD) - Lunar Rover near Plum Crater (4)115 visiteFrame from Charlie Duke's 1st Station 1 pan. Rightward of 17790. In the distance, we can see the raised rim of South Ray Crater. Note that the rim crest to rim crest distance is about one fiducial spacing. South Ray Crater is about 700 meters in diameter and is about 5.5 Km south of their present location at Flag Crater. On the far rim of Plum Crater, note the partially buried boulder, which John and Charlie will sample after they finish their work near the Rover.
This is the boulder that Charlie Duke mentions at 123:27:36 MCT.Gen 05, 2005

At high-resolution, the images shows details of the South Ray rim profile. Gen 05, 2005
