Charles Duke (Apollo 16)


Portrait of John Young in front of the Lunar Rover, station 10 prime, EVA 3, 16-27April 1972

Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1972, numbered "NASA AS16-117-18825" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with wrong NASA caption (intended for another photograph on verso) and "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm

A superb photograph of John Young back at the landing site after the last traverse on board the rover at Descartes. The reflection of his photographer can be seen in his gold-plated visor.

“Young prepares to take samples at station 10 prime near the end of EVA-3. The gnomon minus its broken central staff marks the area to be sampled.

During their 71 hours on the Moon, the Apollo 16 crew conducted three EVA’s totaling about 20.3 hours on the lunar surface. These EVAs included lunar rover traverses totaling 26.7 km.

“This had been a great day in spite of cutting EVA 3 short due to our late landing. We were having fun and were asking for an extension but to no avail.”
Charles Duke (Constantine, p. 113)
