EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a close-up view of the Apollo 16 Cosmic Ray Detector (CRD) experiment, deployed on the +Y strut of the Lunar Module during NASA's historic mission to the moon on April 22,1972. Astronaut John W. Young, commander of Apollo 16, made the decision to move the CRD experiment from its initial location near the deployment site of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP). His reasoning? "The panels were getting a little warm". In this color image taken from space, we can observe that upon landing, the Lunar Module did not skid as evidenced by neatly folded back landing contact probes and an absence of skid marks on the lunar surface. The photograph showcases intricate details such as footpads and terrain features while highlighting this crucial scientific instrument. The CRD experiment played a vital role in understanding cosmic rays and their impact on space exploration. This square image serves as a testament to humanity's quest for knowledge beyond our planet's boundaries. It symbolizes both discovery and innovation in space exploration history. As part of NASA's archival collection captured by Stocktrek Images, this remarkable photograph provides us with a glimpse into one of mankind's greatest achievements – setting foot on another celestial body.
