Harrison Schmitt or Eugene Cernan (Apollo 17)
The CSM America, last manned spacecraft in lunar orbit, seen during rendez-vous with the LM Challenger, 7-19 December 1972
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1972, numbered "NASA AS17-145-22254" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with NASA caption and "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
Ronald Evans was in his 52nd orbit on board the CSM America when Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt on board the LM Challenger joined him from the lunar surface for rendez-vous, docking, transfer of the crew in America, jettison of Challenger and trans Earth injection for the homeward journey.
Evans holds the record for the longest time spent in lunar orbit, on board America: 6 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes.
The SIM (Scientific Instrument Module) bay on the Service Module is exposed. The outer layer of the Command Module reflects the lunar surface as light tones while the blackness of outer space is mirrored in the dark portion.
The 33-km Crater Auzout is in the foreground and the 48-km Crater Condorcet P is in the background 110 km below.
Latitude / longitude: 11° N / 64.5° E.
“When we got back in that Command Module, we were home. Never mind that we were in lunar orbit, it was home.”
Eugene Cernan (Chaikin, Voices, p. 117)
Literature:
TIME, 8 January 1973, p. 39; Chaikin, Space, p. 136; Reynolds, p. 200.
