Abstract

To protect the privacy of astronauts, individual names and missions were omitted from the published report.[1] This presents an obstacle, as five of the 11 Apollo missions never landed on the moon. As Schmitt climbed aboard the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), he and Eugene Cernan removed their spacesuits, which were covered in lunar dust (Figure 1A). In the early morning hours of December 14, 1972, Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison "Jack" Schmitt took one final look at the Valley of Taurus-Littrow. [Extracted from the article]
