Summary

The original database describes this as:

Description: The deployed Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package (ALSEP) is visible in this northwest-looking view. The lunar surface magnetometer experiment is in the foreground, and other objects on the lunar surface (from left to right) are: a discarded subpallet and cover; the solar-wind spectrometer experiment; the suprathermal ion detector experiment, with the darker radioisotope thermoelectric generator behind it; the ALSEP central station with Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., commander, adjusting the antenna; the passive seismic experiment (PSE); and the discarded PSE girdle. Note the boot prints left by Astronaut Alan L. Bean, lunar module pilot, as he walked through this crater. The image was taken during the deployment of the experiment during the first extravehicular activity (EVA-1) of the Apollo 12 mission,on Nov. 19,1969. Original film magazine was labeled V,film type was HCEX (SO-168 - Ektachrome EF,high-speed color reversal,ASA 160) taken with an 60mm lens. Sun angle was low. Approximate camera tilt was medium oblique and direction of tilt was West..
