- Instruments on ground (antennas, flag, etc...) -- 0%,----------
Chris, I have the list of the instruments grounded during Apollo 11 Moon EVA.
They are:
1- solar wind experiment
2- seismometer- (this operated only three weeks: it sensed the astronauts boots (!) when, released from the CM, they hit the Moon surface, but remaining operative for only three weeks, it missed the crash of LEM's AM (Ascent Module), that happened 1 to 4 months after astronauts departure)
3- Laser reflector
4- TV camera
5- US flag
6- Stereo Close-Up Camera (ADDED LATER)
Strangely, even if the big 3 meter S-band antenna was ready and the astronauts completed the training for opening it on the Moon, it was not carried on Apollo 11 because not needed. But it was used in the following missions.
I found Hi-Res images of all of them, but the total dimnsion is big, 27 Mb divided in 3 rar files 9 MB each.
Where can I upload them? Megaupload is OK for you?
Please inform me, tks.
Bye
Andrea
