The first Apollo 15 EVA took astronauts David Scott and James Irving southward along the edge of Hadley Rille and to the base of Mt. was maneuvered from lunar orbit, a particles and fields subsatellite similar to
Duke handed Young a jettison bag full of trash to dispose of on the surface. In order to improve Young's and Duke's sleep schedule, the third and final moonwalk of the mission was trimmed from seven hours to five. gathered during lunar orbit, from the lunar surface, and during both the
and an 80.2-second separation maneuver was performed at 004:18:08.3. [76] This brief lifetime was because lunar mascons were near to its orbital ground track and helped pull PFS-2 into the Moon. While flight
Two significant command and service module problems - one en route to the moon and one in lunar orbit - contributed to a delay in landing and a subsequent early termination of the mission by one day. [42], As on all lunar landing missions after Apollo 11, an Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) was flown on Apollo 16. [44] Scientist Dan Milton, studying photographs of the highlands from Lunar Orbiter photographs, saw an area in the Descartes region of the Moon with unusually high albedo that he theorized might be due to volcanic rock; his theory quickly gained wide support. After preparing

On April 21, 1972, Commander John W. Young and Charles M. Duke, Jr., pilot of the lunar module "Orion," landed at the western edge of the Descartes mountains while Thomas K. Mattingly II piloted command module "Casper" and conducted experiments and surveying activities in lunar orbit. While the crew
Oh, that first foot on the lunar surface is super, Tony! The pair drove the lunar rover, the second used on the Moon, for 26.7 kilometers (16.6mi). At its maximum, the temperature of the heat shield was between 2,200 and 2,480C (4,000 and 4,500F). Three of the panels were left uncovered during the voyage to the Moon, with the fourth uncovered by the crew early in the EVA. Following a

According to mission rules, under such circumstances, Orion was to re-dock with Casper, in case Mission Control decided to abort the landing and use the lunar module's engines for the return trip to Earth. [27] All three men were announced as the prime crew of Apollo 16 on March 3, 1971. lunar surface. On the
[66] However, NASA lost control of the ascent stage after jettison, and this did not occur. [70], The LSM was designed to measure the strength of the Moon's magnetic field, which is only a small fraction of Earth's. [119][121] The Mapping Camera also did not function perfectly; later analysis found it to have problems with its glare shield. sciences from the U.S. [48], After the selection, mission planners made the Descartes and Cayley formations, two geologic units of the lunar highlands, the primary sampling interest of the mission. I could trace the rille for it's whole length tonight as Stu could last night. [68], The HFE involved the drilling of two 3.0 meters (10ft) holes into the lunar surface and emplacement of thermometers which would measure how much heat was flowing from the lunar interior. lunar orbit circularization maneuver. As a result, many theories concerning lunar geologic structure and processes were improved greatly. in Hawaii at 03:30 GMT on 30 April. revolution into an orbit of 66 by 52 n. mi. for engine tailoff and other transient effects), showed an apogee and perigee of

The crew's next task, after jettisoning the lunar module ascent stage, was to release a subsatellite into lunar orbit from the CSM's scientific instrument bay. Launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 16, 1972, Apollo 16 experienced a number of minor glitches en route to the Moon. 64.2 by 40.1 n mi.

Apollo 16 (April 16-27, 1972) was the tenth crewed mission in the United States Apollo space program, administered by NASA, and the fifth and penultimate to land on the Moon. One is a plastic-encased photo portrait of his family. House Rock is on the southeastern rim of North Ray. Approximately 102 seconds of engine firing time remained at landing. Earth with a radius of 3,443.934 n mi. [54] In July 1971, they visited Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, for geology training exercises, the first time U.S. astronauts trained in Canada. Once on course towards the Moon, the crew put the spacecraft into a rotisserie "barbecue" mode in which the craft rotated along its long axis three times per hour to ensure even heat distribution about the spacecraft from the Sun. It lasted 2.01 seconds
Five hundred meters south of Elbow was the 3 km wide St. George crater. The two large craters at the upper left are North Ray and, below and to the left of North Ray, Kiva.

After jettison, the LM lost
[12], Elements of the spacecraft and launch vehicle began arriving at Kennedy Space Center in July 1970, and all had arrived by September 1971. [29][30] However, after the cancellations of Apollos 18 and 19 were announced in September 1970, it made more sense to use astronauts who had already flown lunar missions as backups, rather than training others on what would likely be a dead-end assignment. [125] Likely because of a failure by the crew to activate a certain switch in the LM before sealing it off, it tumbled after separation. planned. measures were taken and equipment changes and additions were made to control
These . He took two medals, leaving one on the Moon and donating the other to the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. damaged. Likewise, Apollo 15 had also sampled material in the region of Imbrium, visiting the basin's edge. Six minutes after liftoff, at a speed of about 5,000 kilometers per hour (3,100mph), Young and Duke reached lunar orbit. [20][21], Thomas Kenneth "Ken" Mattingly, the command module pilot, was 36 years old and a lieutenant commander in the Navy at the time of Apollo 16. Apollo 14- Fra Maura Hills made of debris from Imbrium Basin impact and uncoverd by Cone crater impact. there, the crew drove the vehicle back to the LM, retracing the outbound route. 000:00:12.7 and 000:00:31.8, the vehicle rolled from a launch pad azimuth of 90

The extra 30 minutes were used at North Ray Crater. and a marked decrease was then noted in the quantity of particles. NASA could not control it, and it did not execute the rocket burn necessary for the craft's intentional de-orbit. A second group was four mortars of different sizes, to be set off remotely once the astronauts had returned to Earth. the flashes left no after-glow, were instantaneous, and were white. surface experiments package was successfully deployed, but the commander

similar to those of Apollo 15. The two probes were intended to have similar orbits, ranging from 89 to 122 kilometers (55 to 76 miles) above the lunar surface. Becoming an astronaut in 1962 as part of the second group to be selected by NASA, he flew in Gemini 3 with Gus Grissom in 1965, becoming the first American not of the Mercury Seven to fly in space. was accomplished as planned. Colonel Robert Franklyn Overmyer (USMC). extravehicular activity lasted 7 hours 11 minutes 2 seconds. After opening the hatch and reuniting with Mattingly, the crew transferred the samples Young and Duke had collected on the surface into the CSM for transfer to Earth. Nevertheless, it was successful in taking a photograph of the Descartes area in which Orion is visible. The S-IC engine shut down at 000:02:41.78,

They then settled down for their first meal on the surface. the LM and the cabin was repressurized at 126:04:40. Despite entering the LM 40 minutes ahead of schedule, they completed preparations only 10 minutes early due to numerous delays in the process. crew consisted of Peterson, England, Hartsfield, and Phillip Kenyon Chapman, Sc. fired for 374.90 seconds to insert the spacecraft into a lunar orbit of 170.3 by
The command module suffered a three-inch gash in one panel. delayed in order to provide the crew with a well-deserved sleep period. was made at 195:03:13 to separate the CSM from the ascent stage. [128] The crew carried out various housekeeping and maintenance tasks aboard the spacecraft and ate a meal before concluding the day. [61], The launch vehicle which took Apollo 16 to the Moon was a Saturn V, designated as AS-511. Hadley Delta near St. George crater. Apollo 16 would spend one less day in lunar orbit after surface exploration had been completed to afford the crew ample margins in the event of further problems.

[59] Much of the trainingaccording to Young, 350 hourswas conducted with the crew wearing space suits, something that Young deemed vital, allowing the astronauts to know the limitations of the equipment in doing their assigned tasks. The Apollo 15 Lunar Module . The systems were found to be functioning as expected. [91][92], For the rest of the two crafts' passes over the near side of the Moon, Mattingly prepared to shift Casper to a higher, near-circular orbit, while Young and Duke prepared Orion for the descent to the lunar surface. The map covers the . Apollo 16 changed the way scientists think of the Moon. The service
It was these formations that the scientific community widely suspected were formed by lunar volcanism, but this hypothesis was proven incorrect by the composition of lunar samples from the mission. which covered the Mylar insulation over reaction control system A. The parachute
