A close up view of astronaut Jack R. Lousma, Skylab 3 pilot taking a hot bath in the crew quarters of the Orbital Workshop (OWS) of the Skylab space station cluster in Earth Orbit. This picture was taken with a hand-held 35mm Nikon camera. Astronaut Lousma, Alan Bean and Owen K. Garriott remained within the Skylab space station in orbit for 59 days conducting numerous medical, scientific and technological expierments. In deploying the shower facility the shower curtain is pulled up from the floor and attached to the ceiling. The water comes through a push-button shower head attached to a flexible hose. Water is drawn off by a vacuum system. |

| Full Description |
Sixty-three seconds after the launch of the modified Saturn V vehicle carrying the Skylab cluster, engineers in the operation support and control center saw an unexpected telemetry indication that signalled that damages occurred on one solar array and the micrometeoroid shield during the launch. Still unoccupied, the Skylab was stricken with the loss of the heat shield and sunlight beat mercilessly on the lab's sensitive skin. Internal temperatures soared, rendering the the station uninhabitable, threatening foods, medicines, films, and experiments. The launch of the first marned Skylab (Skylab-2) mission was delayed until methods were devised to repair and salvage the workshop. Personnel from other NASA Centers and industries quickly joined the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in efforts to save the damaged Skylab. They worked day and night for the next several days. Eventually the MSFC developed, tested, rehearsed, and approved three repair options. These options included a parasol sunshade and a twin-pole sunshade to restore the temperature inside the workshop, and a set of metal cutting tools to free the jammed solar panel. This photograph was taken during a discussion of the methods of the twin-pole Sun shield by (left to right) Astronaut Alan Bean, MSFC Director Dr. Rocco Petrone, Astronaut Edward Gibson, and MSFC engineer Richard Heckman. Dr. William Lucas, who became MSFC Director after Dr. Petrone left MSFC in March of 1974, is standing. |

| Full Description |
The second manned lunar landing mission, Apollo 12 launched from launch pad 39-A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 14, 1969 via a Saturn Five launch vehicle. The Saturn V vehicle was developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. Aboard Apollo 12 was a crew of three astronauts: Alan L. Bean, pilot of the Lunar Module (LM), Intrepid, Richard Gordon, pilot of the Command Module (CM), Yankee Clipper, and Spacecraft Commander Charles Conrad. The LM, Intrepid, landed astronauts Conrad and Bean on the lunar surface in what?s known as the Ocean of Storms while astronaut Richard Gordon piloted the CM, Yankee Clipper, in a parking orbit around the Moon. Their lunar soil activities included the deployment of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP), finding the unmanned Surveyor 3 that landed on the Moon on April 19, 1967, and collecting 75 pounds (34 kilograms) of rock samples. In this photograph, one of the astronauts on the Moon?s surface is holding a container of lunar soil. The other astronaut is seen reflected in his helmet. Apollo 12 safely returned to Earth on November 24, 1969. |

In November of 1969, Apollo 12 [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990408.html ] astronaut-photographer Charles "Pete" Conrad [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990715.html ] recorded this masterpiece [ http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/images/pao/AS12/10075421.htm ] while documenting colleague Alan Bean's lunar soil collection activities on the Oceanus Procellarum [ http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/planet_volcano/ lunar/mare/mlm.html ]. The image is dramatic and stark [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap960420.html ]. Bean is faceless.

Apollo 12 [ http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/apollo12info.html ] was the second mission to land humans [ http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html ] on the Moon [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/moon.html ]. The landing site was picked to be near the location of Surveyor [ http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/surveyor.html ] 3, a robot spacecraft that had landed on the Moon [ http://www.nineplanets.org/luna.html ] three years earlier. In the above photograph [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a12/ images12.html#HiRes ], taken by lunar module pilot Alan Bean [ http://www.nasm.edu/apollo/AS12/a12crew.htm ], mission commander Pete Conrad [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990715.html ] retrieves parts from the Surveyor.

An Apollo 12 Panorama |
| Explanation |
The Apollo 12 mission [ http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/imagery/apollo/AS12/a12.htm ] was the second [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap980503.html ] ever to land humans on the Moon. The mission was dedicated [ http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/imagery/apollo/AS12/a12mo.htm ] to studying the Moon [ http://www.nineplanets.org/luna.html ], developing techniques, and developing instruments that could be used in future lunar landings [ http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/imagery/apollo/apollo.htm ]. Astronauts Charles (Pete) Conrad and Alan Bean [ http://www.lpi.usra.edu/expmoon/Apollo12/A12_Overview_crew.html ] spent just under two days on the lunar surface in November 1969, while Richard Gordon [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/gordon-rf.html ] orbited above in the Command Module [ http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/apollo/ ]. Pictured above [ http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Projects/LunarAtlas/panoramas/ ] in this digitally stitched panorama, Alan Bean works near the Lunar Module [ http://www.nasm.edu/galleries/attm/nojs/a11.am.lm.1.html ].

| Title |
Apollo 12: Surveyor 3 and Intrepid |
| Explanation |
On April 20, 1967, NASA's robot spacecraft Surveyor 3 landed [ http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/surveyor.html ] on the moon, touching down on the inside slope of a small lunar crater in the Ocean of Storms. Over 2 1/2 years later, on November 19, 1969, the lunar module Intrepid, piloted by Apollo 12 [ http://www.nasm.edu/APOLLO/AS12/ ] astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean, flew overhead and landed nearby [ http://cass.jsc.nasa.gov/pub/expmoon/Apollo12/A12_lsite.html ] in the second visit by humans to the lunar surface [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-4214/cover.html ]. Intrepid touched down about 600 feet away and the moon walking astronauts [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a12/a12j.html ] were easily able to reach the Surveyor [ http://cass.jsc.nasa.gov/pub/expmoon/surveyor/Surveyor3.html ] and examine the remote explorer that had preceded them. Intrepid is seen in the background of this striking high resolution [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a12/images12.html#HiRes ] picture of Surveyor 3. Surveyor's leftmost foot pad appears dug in while its foreground foot pad has made two distinct imprints in the powdery lunar soil [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap980327.html ] - clear indications that the Surveyor slid and bounced on landing. Using bolt cutters, the astronauts [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap961124.html ] removed Surveyor's TV camera (the cylinder shape at the right of the tall solar panel mast) and its sampling scoop (on the arm extended to the right), returning them to Earth for study. |
