Beschreibung:

James Irwin A group of four close-up photographs documenting geological investigations at station 9A, including a view of David Scott with the reflection of the photographer in his visor 2 August 1971 Four vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, each 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), BLACK NUMBERED NASA AS15-82-11102, AS15-82-11133, AS15-82-11145 and AS15-82-11146 in top margins, (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center) Footnotes: The painstaking geological survey work of the later Apollo missions required improved tools, such as tongs (first image) which helped the astronauts pick up rocks since bending over in their pressure suits was difficult. David Scott also used a hammer (third image). The checklists on both his arms cover the drilling tasks that occupied him on all three EVAs. Work at station 9A was both productive and fun and Scott neatly summed up his pleasure and his buoyant mood: 'Man, am I going to miss one-sixth G. This is neat!'
