Amazing photos that show history Apollo 16 mission 50 years after launching in moon.
Image by Andy Saunders, author of “Apollo Remastered”, shows NASA Experimental lunar module “Orion” Charles Duke Enjoy views across the heights of the Descartes mountains, the command and service module “Casper” above the lunar horizon, Commander John Young’s “Giant Leap,” the lunar module, and portraits of the Duke and his family on the lunar surface.

The second of the three “J-misi” Apollo 16 The main purpose To examine, survey and sample surface materials and features in the plateau region of the southeastern quadrant of the Moon, to set up and activate surface experiments and to conduct experiments in flight and photographic missions from lunar orbit.
Astronaut launches on Saturn-V SA-511 rocket Rocket on 12:54 PM EST On April 16, 1972, from Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The lunar module carrying Young and Duke on Descartes landed – albeit roughly six hours late – at 9:24 p.m. EDT on April 20, about 276 meters northwest planned point.
There were two significant problems with the command module, one en route to the moon and the other in lunar orbit, which contributed to the landing delays and the stoppage of the initial mission one day later.
Shows wrong signal Gimbal lock steering system During the trans-moon coast phase, it is neutralized by real-time programming and standby circuits causing oscillations in the service propulsion system, delaying circular burn-in of the command module.
The landing of the lunar module continued until engineers determined that the oscillations would not seriously affect the steering module of the command module.
During their more than 71 hour and two minute stay on the surface, the astronauts explored the area in three Extravehicular Activities (EVAs), lasting 20 hours and 14 minutes.
The first EVA involved preparation of the Lunar Roving Vehicle and implementation of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP), and the heat flow experience was lost when Young tripped and damaged the electronics.
The astronauts collected samples and photographed the Flag Crater, made the first measurements with the lunar magnetometer on Spook Crater and published the Solar Wind Formation Experiment on the ALSEP website.

They collected core, surface, and trench samples in the Cinco Crater region during the second EVA, and measurements of the lunar surface-borne magnetism were made near Cinco.
Time constraints in meeting the climbing schedule shortened Eva III, as samples of House Rock, Shadow Rock, and Crater. Moon magnetometer Measurement readings were taken there and at the mobile parking location, along with the final sample. Finally, they recovered the files Solar wind formation and film from camera/far UV spectrometer.
Thomas K. Ken Mattingly Pilot Command Module circling the moon with camera and Scientific Device Unit (SIM) The Gulf Instruments operated during Young and Duke’s stay on the Moon and verified Apollo 15’s data and information on the lunar terrain.
In conclusion, Young and Duke collected 209 pounds of samples and drove the rover 16.6 miles.
The take-off to the moon occurred on April 23 at 8:26 p.m. EDT.
The lunar module is phased out after normal encounter and docking and loss of altitude eliminates the usual de-orbiting maneuvers and planned impact.
The planners chose to replay the mission a day early — and after Mattingly walked through space for 83 minutes to record a cassette from the SIM slot — they littered Pacific Ocean Before 3 p.m. EDT on April 27.
The total mission time is 265 hours and 51 minutes, or more than 11 days.
And particles and fields in particular Satellite Launched April 24 at 4:56 p.m. EDT to investigate the moon’s mass, changes in gravity, the particle composition of space near the moon, and the interaction of the moon’s magnetic field with Earth.
Saunders noted that when Mattingly noticed a problem with the main engine in the command module, the three astronauts had to remain in visible positions in lunar orbit for the four hours it would take mission controllers to assess the problem.
Saunders said Duke’s photo – which shows the command module above the lunar surface with the blue earth rising – conveys the magnitude of their achievement.
Duke, who left a photo of his family in the month after the third extravehicular activity, told him it was an emotional moment.
While the image may quickly fade and reverse, Saunders sent a copy of the image in a small capsule to the moon this year on the lowered deck of the ship. Kendaraan Pendaratan Ungu Al Shaheen.
