as11-40-5902.jpgAS 11-40-5902 - Buzzin' Buzz!58 visiteCaption NASA originale:"110:42:14 MT - Buzz is standing just beyond the north strut. Note the distinctive dust smudges on Buzz's legs. The photo also shows the furrows in the bulk sample area and the area to the left of the footpad that shows unmistakable signs of sweeping by the descent engine exhaust. In a detail Ulli Lotzmann notes a reflected image of the rendezvous radar. Karl Dodenhoff writes that the strap hanging down from behind Buzz's RCU is the neck ring pull-down strap. It connected to the pull down locking mechanism that also served as the upper PLSS/RCU attachment fitting on the chest of the A7L suit." Mick Hyde provides a photo taken in 2002 of Bill Ander's Apollo 8 suit at the Science Museum London. The strap is tucked into a pouch. The A7L suit was used prior to Apollo 15, when the LM crews started using the A7L-B".

as11-40-5936.JPGAS 11-40-5936 - Up-Sun (2)59 visite110:55:49 MT. Rightward of 5935 but without overlap because Neil has avoided the up-Sun view. The Southern part of East Crater on the lefthand side of the image. Part of the rim of West Crater can be seen faintly just above center. We can locate the approximate azimuths of the north and South rims of West Crater from Figure 3-15 in the Apollo 11 Preliminary Science Report and a detail from the USGS site map.
As indicated in Figure 3-15, Neil took the minus-Z pan from a location about 20 meters roughly southeast of the LM. The exact location has been added to the inset at the upper right, which shows that Neil was about 55 meters due west of the south rim of East Crater. From the site map detail we see that, from the south rim of East Crater, the north rim of West Crater is about 460 meters away on an azimuth of about 92.7 degrees. With the help of a little trigonometry, this information gives an azimuth of the north rim of West Crater from Neil's location of 92.4 degrees, with the south rim azimuth being about 112.4 degrees. During the Apollo 11 EVA, the solar azimuth was 88.1 degrees, which allows us to plot the relevant azimuths on a detail from 5936. The plotted azimuth for the south rim is very close to the lefthand edge of the horizon feature that is obviously a partly shadowed portion of the rim while the plotted north rim azimuth is close to the righthand edge of what is probably a sunlit, rock-strewn portion of the rim.

as11-40-5931.JPGAS 11-40-5931 - "Buzz", Lunar Module & various Equipment55 visite110:55:49 MT. In this second photo from Neil's minus-Z (East) pan, Buzz has removed the Passive Seismometer Package from the SEQ bay. The foreground object with the handle is the Gold Camera, designed to take close-up photographs of the very top layer of the Lunar Soil. Note, also, the split rock at the right edge, just below the center of the photograph. This boulder was probably ejected from a nearby impact, possibly West Crater, and broke into two pieces when it hit. A different boulder, just to the left of center near the tip of the LM shadow in 5883, appears to have suffered a similar fate.
