Charles Duke (Apollo 16)
John Young collecting lunar samples near the Lunar Rover parked uphill at station 11, EVA 3, 16-27 April 1972
Vintage gelatin silver print on fiber-based paper, printed 1972, (NASA AS16-106-17340), with NASA caption numbered "72-H-595" (NASA HQ) on verso,20,3 x 25,4 cm, light crease in 2 corners
The Rover is parked over the rise in the field of boulders in the background.
Big white Breccia boulders previously visited by the crew are on the right horizon. Young “rakes with his right hand and holds the sample bag in his left hand. The tongs mark the area to be sampled. Because of mobility permitted by the suit, raking is a one-arm operation. The rake is used to collect a comprehensive sample, a selective collection of rocks ranging in size from 1 to 3 cm in diameter. These walnut-sized fragments along with the sand-sized material present a more complete history of the area than do isolated rock samples” (NASA SP-315, p. 4.17).
