Alan Shepard and 16mm television camera Three views of the crew deploying scientific experiments on the lunar surface; the colour photograph was taken by the 16mm television camera Apollo 14, 5 February 1971 Two vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), first one BLACK NUMBERED NASA AS14-67-9376 [second one NASA AS14-67-938], and one vintage chromogenic print with THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK watermarks on the verso [NASA S-71-19509] Footnotes: Shepard and Mitchell spent a total of 33.5 hours on the Moon and performed two extra-vehicular activities (EVAs, or "moonwalks"), totalling 9 hours and 23 minutes. Much of the first EVA was used to deploy a set of experiments, some of which continued to radio data back to Earth until September 1977. Among these was a seismometer, which detected thousands of moonquakes and helped to determine the structure of the Moon's interior. Other instruments measured the composition of the solar wind and the Moon's tenuous atmosphere and plasma environment. Shepard and Mitchell also collected rock and soil samples up to 200 meters west of the landing site.
