Pete Conrad (Apollo 12)
Alan Bean during the exploration of Halo Crater, EVA 2, 14-24 November 1969
Vintage gelatin silver print on early resin coated paper, printed 1969, with a faint NASA caption numbered "AS12-49-7286" (NASA KSC) on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
Pete Conrad took this photograph of Alan Bean at a geology stop located near a group of small craters about twenty meters south of Halo Crater, a 6m wide crater located to the south of Surveyor Crater’s rim, but which the crew had difficulty locating. This was their last stop before arriving at the location of Surveyor III.
From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken:
133:25:33 Bean: Want to take a picture?
133:25:34 Conrad: Yep. (Garbled)
133:25:36 Bean: I can shove it in a little. I hope this is a good soft place.
133:25:39 Conrad: Yeah.
133:25:41 Bean: It seems to be. Oh, I hit something solid there. (To Houston) Well, I used all my weight, Houston, and shoved it in about seven inches. Now, I’ll just pound on it a while and see what we can do. (Pause) It (seems to) be going in okay. Yeah. It’s going on down.
