  • Apollo 17 mission

    Apollo 17 took the 11th and 12th people cernan and schmidt (the last man to walk on the moon) to the taurus littrow landing site on the moon and marked the final mission of the Apollo program. By the time the mission launched, on Dec. 7, 1972, public interest in space exploration had declined and the government had shifted focus to the Vietnam War.

  • Apollo 17 mission

    The Apollo 17 lunar mission, the last manned mission to the Moon, occurred from December 11-14, 1972. Astronauts Eugene A. Cernan and Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt performed three separate Extravehicular Activities (EVAs) in the Taurus Mountain-Littrow Crater region of Mare Serenitatis. During the three EVAs, totaling a record 22 hours 6 minutes, Cernan and Schmitt collected 112 kilograms (247 pounds) of material for return to Earth. They also drove a lunar roving vehicle approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles).

     

    Apollo 17 was the first mission to include a scientist in its crew. Geologist Harrison "Jack" Schmitt was one of the first six scientist-astronauts selected in 1965 amid immense pressure to do so from the National Academy of Sciences, which was worried that only test pilots would get the opportunity to walk on the moon.

     

    Apollo 17 side story

    The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) allowed astronauts to go further away from the Lunar Module during their limited extravehicular activity time on the moon. The vehicle was first used on Apollo 15, and then again on missions 16 and 17.

    Just after unloading the LRV from the Lunar Module, Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan accidentally knocked off the right-rear fender extension. He taped it back on but it fell off later, and the wheel kicked a plume of fine lunar dust over the rover and its occupants. At the suggestion of technicians on Earth, Cernan and lunar module pilot Harrison Schmitt taped together several plastic-coated map sheets to make a replacement fender extension.

     

    Apollo 17 Commander Gene Cernan recalls fixing a lunar rover problem with duct tape during his December 1972 mission. Cernan's interview was part of the commemoration of NASA's 50th anniversary

Evans, command module pilot; and scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot -- traveling toward the moon. This translunar coast photograph extends from the Mediterranean Sea area to the Antarctica South polar ice cap. This is the first time the Apollo trajectory made it possible to photograph the South polar ice cap. Note the heavy cloud cover in the Southern Hemisphere. Almost the entire coastline of Africa is clearly visible. The Arabian Peninsula can be seen at the Northeastern edge of Africa. The large island off the coast of Africa is the Malagasy Republic. The Asian mainland is on the horizon toward the Northeast. Image Credit: NASA

    US$ 1,500 - 2,000 THREE LARGE Photos—making a lunar surface PAN of "Split Rock" during EVA 3 on Apollo 17 APOLLO 17 PANORAMIC VIEWS OF TRACY'S BOULDER—SITE BECOMES THE SUBJECT OF AN ALAN BEAN SPACE PAINTING  Three large black and white photographs, each 11 x 14 inches. These combined overlapping photographs create an image approximately 11 x 32 inches. The mosaic is comprised of Apollo 17 lunar surface images AS17-140-21492, 21495, and 21497.  Astronaut Gene Cernan recorded these panoramic views of then called "Split Rock" while at Station Stop 6 during Apollo 17's third lunar surface exploration known as EVA 3. Also seen in the foreground to the left is Astronaut Harrison "Jack" Schmitt and the lunar rover toward the right. From left to right in the background are the East Massif (mountain), Bear Mountain, and the South Massif. Prior to leaving the lunar surface for the last time, Cernan drew his daughter's initials (T D C) in the lunar soil. His daughter Tracy was 9 years old at the time. Years later when Cernan observed an 1984 painting being created by fellow astronaut Alan Bean of the Station 6 site, Cernan commented that he wished he had written his daughter's name on the dust of the large boulder because these photographs had become an iconic image from the Apollo 17 flight. Bean fulfilled that wish by adding "Tracy" to his painting and called the work "Tracy's Boulder."

Cernan, Ronald E. Evans, and Harrison H. Schmidt. 11 December 1972: Film was onboard the Lunar Module when it landed on the moon in the Taurus-Littrow area. 14 December 1972: Film lifted off the moon to rendezvous with the lunar orbiting Command Module. 19 December 1972: Film was returned to the Earth with the splashdown of Apollo 17 in the Pacific Ocean."

    This pressure helmet was made for Gene Cernan, commander of the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972.
    These gloves worn by Gene Cernan for Apollo 17 were constructed of an outer shell of Chromel-R fabric with thermal insulation to provide protection while handling extremely hot or cold objects. The blue fingertips were made of silicone rubber to provide sensitivity
    Cernan's Spacesuit from Apollo 17 This suit is a more advanced version of the type worn by Apollo 11 astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin. It contains a layer of aluminized, gridded Kapton film for additional protection.
    These lunar overshoes were made for and worn by Gene Cernan, commander of the Apollo 17 mission that landed on the Moon on December 10, 1972.
    Flown Apollo 17 T&D cue card This Apollo 17 T&D cue card was an important tool during the outbound journey from the earth to the moon.  It was used to ensure the correct sequence of maneuvers to execute the transposition and docking of the Command /Service Module (CSM) with the Lunar Module (LM) which for liftoff had been located in the Apollo Saturn V third stage (S-IVB).  The steps included separating the CSM from the S-IVB, pitching the CSM 180° and proceeding to dock with the LM by inserting a probe at the top the CSM into a drogue at the top of the LM.  Unlike many cue cards which were carried in the case of contingencies and never used, this cue card detailed a critical part of the mission.
    Apollo 17 flown LM Data Card Book This 3-hole punched Apollo 17 LM Data Card Book acquired from the Gene Cernan collection was carried to the lunar surface and used aboard the Apollo 17 lunar module Challenger in the Taurus-Littrow valley of the moon during the last Apollo lunar landing mission in December 1972.  The LM Data Card Book contains templates for recording Pre-Advisory Data (PAD), which was used throughout the flight of the Lunar Module and the stay on the surface. Each card was used as a concise document for making notations on LM operations including LM activation, aborts, rendezvous and docking.  When large lists of PAD numbers were read from Mission Control to Jack Schmitt and Gene Cernan while in the LM, they used this book to record the data necessary to carry out a particular maneuver. To simplify the voice transmission of these large lists of numbers and reduce the likelihood of errors, each type of PAD was precisely formatted and aligned for use in Mission Control and this book.  The writing in these pages was all written while on the surface of the moon. The data contained in the data cards can be tracked in the official mission transcripts of the 75-hour stay upon the lunar surface.
    Apollo 17 lunar module flown RCS / Common cue card This cue card directly from the Gene Cernan collection was flown to the lunar surface on 17 aboard the spacecraft Challenger and spent time on the moon in the Taurus-Littrow valley during the last Apollo lunar landing mission in December 1972.  The RCS / COMMON cue card would have been used if the astronauts had experienced a Reaction Control System failure in the Lunar Module during the mission. It contains failure indications, workarounds to solve for failures, and other operating information about the RCS system onboard the Lunar Module.  Cue cards like this one are critical to allowing the crew to react quickly and accurately to contingencies that arise during the mission.
    Flown Apollo 17 lunar surface checklist page A17 ck bkThis is page 7-8 of the Apollo 17 lunar surface checklist, used on the lunar surface during the last lunar landing mission. The other side of this is page 7-7. I find this particular checklist page fascinating because it details the last sleep period that humans enjoyed on the lunar surface. Scheduled to begin at 174:39 hours into the mission, the crew status report notations (made on the surface inside Lunar Module America) indicate that Commander Gene Cernan slept 5 hours and Lunar Module Pilot Jack Schmidt slept 6 hours.
