NASA photo: "Collecting Samples." Postcard PC-A5 published by the Hansen, Planetarium, Salt Lake City, Utah (ca. 1973)
“During the Apollo 17 mission, scientist-astronaut Harrison Schmitt collects rock samples. The rake is used to filter out soil and small particles so that only rocks and rock chips between 1 and 2 cm in size will be collected. Schmitt’s backpack contains his life-support systems.”
