Description
[Apollo 16] JOHN YOUNG BY THE ROVER ON THE STEEP SLOPES OF STONE MOUNTAIN, STATION 4 Charles Duke, 16-27 April 1972, EVA 3 Printed 1972. Vintage gelatin silver print on fibre-based paper [NASA image AS16-110-17960]. Numbered 'NASA AS16-110-17960' in black in the top margin (issued by NASA Manned Spacecraft Centre, Houston, Texas). 20.3 x 25.4 cm. (8 x 10 in.) Historical context The incredible stop at Stone Mountain. This frame, part of a panoramic sequence taken by Charles Duke near the Lunar Rover at Station 4, captures John Young replacing tools in the Apollo Lunar Hand Tool (ALHT) carrier at the aft end of the Rover, parked on the steep, barren slopes of Stone Mountain. 'The first place we parked, I tried to get out of the Rover, and I was going to roll down the hill, it was really steep. The Rover could actually climb a steeper slope than we could walk on. We were five to seven hundred feet above the valley floor. This was one of the most incredible stops we made.' —Charles Duke (Chaikin, Voices, p. 90) At 152 metres (499 feet) above the valley floor, Station 4 marked the highest elevation reached on Stone Mountain—and the highest point above the LM of any Apollo mission. Looking northeast, Smoky Mountain rises in the left background, with the large Ravine Crater carved into its flank, approximately 8 km away. North Ray Crater and the LM Orion lie just out of view to the left. Footnotes: From the mission transcript (photograph taken at T+144:56:25 after launch): 144:56:25 Duke: I got to get one more view from up here. John, I'll take the pan from right here. 144:56:36 Young: Okay. I'll go ahead and pack up, Charlie. 144:56:38 Duke: Okay. (Pause) 144:56:49 Duke: Okay, let's see; how do I do this? f/11 at 74. Hmmm. Click. (Pause) Click, click, click. Literature Photographing the Final Frontier from Apollo to Hubble, Hope, p. 33 For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
