Astronaut John W. Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission,
stands at the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) deployment
site
during the first Apollo 16 extravehicular activity (EVA-1) at the Descartes
landing site. The components of the ALSEP are in the background. The lunar
surface drill
is just behind and to the right of Young. The drill's rack and bore
stems are to the left. The three sensor Lunar Surface Magnetometer is beyond
the rack. The dark
object in the right background is the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator
(RTG). Between the RTG and the drill is the Heat Flow Experiment. A part
of the
Central Station is at the right center edge of the picture. This photograph
was taken by Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot.
