  • Apollo 14

    Apollo 14 was the eighth manned mission in the United States Apollo program, and the third to land on the Moon. It was the last of the "H missions," targeted landings with two-day stays on the Moon with two lunar EVAs, or moonwalks.


    Commander Alan Shepard, Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa, and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell launched on their nine-day mission on January 31, 1971 at 4:04:02 p.m. local time after a 40-minute, 2 second delay due to launch site weather restrictions, the first such delay in the Apollo program. Shepard and Mitchell made their lunar landing on February 5 in the Fra Mauro formation - originally the target of the aborted Apollo 13 mission. During the two lunar EVAs, 42.80 kilograms (94.35 lb) of Moon rocks were collected and several scientific experiments were performed. Shepard hit two golf balls on the lunar surface with a makeshift club he had brought with him. Shepard and Mitchell spent 33½ hours on the Moon, with almost 9½ hours of EVA.


    In the aftermath of Apollo 13, several modifications had been made to the Service Module electrical power system to prevent a repeat of that accident, including a redesign of the oxygen tanks and the addition of a third tank.
    While Shepard and Mitchell were on the surface, Roosa remained in lunar orbit aboard the Command/Service Module Kitty Hawk, performing scientific experiments and photographing the Moon, including the landing site of the future Apollo 16 mission. He took several hundred seeds on the mission, many of which were germinated on return, resulting in the so-called Moon trees. Shepard, Roosa, and Mitchell landed in the Pacific Ocean on February 9.

    US$ 1,000 APOLLO 14 PANORAMIC VIEW NEAR CONE CRATER THE GREATEST DISTANCE TRAVELED ON FOOT BY ASTRONAUTS FROM THEIR LUNAR MODULE  Large black and white photograph, 20 x 24 inches. Captions along the upper and lower border read in part: "APOLLO 14 PANORAMA - Boulder Field High on Flank of Cone Crater at Point of Maximum Distance from Lunar Module, EVA 2." Large photographs of this type were created just after to flight to assist with reconstruction of the exact path taken by the astronauts during their EVA.  Astronauts Shepard and Mitchell traveled as quickly as possible on foot up the rugged slope of Cone Crater trying to reach the rim during their second EVA (moonwalk). Mission Control advised them to stop their climb and begin geologic sampling and panoramic (pan) photography before oxygen constraints forced them to return to their Lunar Module. This large photograph has the Hasselblad pan obtained near the edge of Cone Crater with the first series of images facing north to east along the top and the second series continuing the view toward the south then west. Astronaut Mitchell is seen in this pan.
    US$ 800 Apollo 14 Descent - Ascent Summary. LUNAR MODULE FLIGHT AND LANDING PARAMETERS—SIGNED ILLUSTRATIONS AND CHARTS FOR ANTARES' CRITICAL LUNAR FLIGHT TASKS  Apollo 14 Descent - Ascent Summary. NASA/MSC/FOD Mission Planning and Analysis Division, Branch LAB, Date 1/19/71. NASA MSC 3579-71. 17 x 21 inches.   INSCRIBED and SIGNED: "We made it down despite the radar, EDGAR MITCHELL, Apollo 14 LMP." Mitchell's comment refers to LM landing radar problems that might have scrubbed the lunar landing.   This chart features two lunar maps and three mission diagrams. The large map at the top plots the LM descent path to the landing site with a table having descent milestones and their associated altitude/flight speeds. The second map shows the planned lunar surface exploration traverses.   The middle diagram has the LM descent, plotting range verses altitude from the landing site. The diagram on the right has Commander Shepard's view out his left side LM window with important craters labeled. The last diagram has the LM's Ascent Vertical Rise plotted with altitude, altitude rate, time from lunar lift-off verses the down range position.
    Lunar Hasselblad Camera Apollo 14 Alan Shepard used this modified 70mm Hasselblad camera for EVA photography on the Moon. He could mount the camera on a bracket attached to his spacesuit or hold it by a handle. To save weight, the cameras lacked viewfinders, so astronauts trained to take photographs by pointing and shooting.
    Edgar Mitchell’s Apollo 14 flown heel restraints This pair of heel restraints was used in the Apollo 14 command module during liftoff.  They were used to secure the astronaut’s feet in place during the violent early stages of the Saturn V launch to prevent injury.  A 14 heel restraints  The restraints are made of a very lightweight metal and heavy duty stirrup straps with Velcro closures.  The items were manufactured by B. Welson Co.

    Alan Shepard captured this pan from a position close to the 4 o'clock side of Lunar Module, Antares. So close in fact that the top of the LM was cropped out of the shot. This pan gives a great view of the landing site, with the LM tilted over on a 7 degree slope, and narrowly avoiding a small crater. You can also clearly see the disturbed surface directly below the descent engine. The umbrella like S-Band antenna is pointing directly at the Earth above, sending back TV pictures. It will also be used at the end of the EVA as a sun shade for the MET. The white rectangular obect in the foreground is the cover for the antenna. Edgar Mitchell is on the right operating the live TV camera, giving mission control a guided tour of the area surrounding the landing site.
