[Apollo 12] Alan Bean transporting lunar experiments to Ocean of Storms Research...
[Apollo 12] Alan Bean transporting lunar experiments to Ocean of Storms Research Base. Pete Conrad, November 14–24, 1969. Printed 1969. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based textured GAF paper [NASA image AS12–46-6791]. 20.3×25.4 cm (8×10 in), blank on the verso.
The photograph shows Alan Bean as he has just attached the RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator) package to the carrybar (which would later serve as the Central Station antenna mast) to transport the experiment to Ocean of Stoms Research Base located 500 feet northwest from the LM.
“I must have taken this picture just about the time Alan Bean hooked up the RTG. He has got his hand over the side and that’s when he is talking about the heat, because his hand is right next to the radiator.” Pete Conrad (from the ALSJ mission transcript at 116:50:59 GET).
From the mission transcript as the photograph was taken:
116:50:54 Bean: Hey, feel the heat off that machine (the RTG). That’s amazing. 116:50:59 Conrad: 1400 degrees (Fahrenheit or about 760 Celsius). (In a conspiratorial tone) Almost as hot as the Sun! (Chuckles).
Condition Report:Very minor crease to top left corner, otherwise excellent condition.
