Left - Apollo 14 ALSEP central station, with MET in foreground.
To the left of the central station is the Apollo Simple Penetrometer (red
flag) and the Active Seismic Experiment mortar that was never fired.
Center - A real beauty of the Apollo 14 ALSEP. The gold
of the central station thermal blankets really stands out. L - R are the
PSE, the SIDE/CCIG, and the central station. In the foreground, the red
flag marks where the ASP was used to anchor the geophone line.
Right - Ed Mitchell walking the Thumper down the geophone
line.
Due to a camera jam, Apollo 15 was ome of the least documented
of the lunar landing missions. This nice one of the magnetometer was one
of the exceptions


Left & Center - The Apollo 16 Far Ultraviolet Camera
was a very cool looking instrument! The picture in the middle shows
the checklist John Young used to operate it, attached to the camera.
Right - A striking picture of the Apollo 16 PSE. The
LM can be seen in the distance, in a small dip in the rolling terrain (lurrain),
which was actually a very old, subdued crater the LM had landed in.
Another camera jam on Apollo 17 caused this partial double
exposure of the central station
