“... This frame from Al's 8 o'clock pan, taken at the start of EVA-1, gives a full view of the left rear quadrant (Quad II) of the spacecraft. In this picture, we see the ALSEP storage area (the lower half of the area wrapped in black insulation blankets). The cask containing the hot fuel element for the RTG is to the left of the ALSEP storage bay. The white panel below the RTG cask, and underneath the Descent Stage, shields the landing radar from the heat of the Descent Engine. The landing radar itself is slightly above and to the right of the panel, and is wrapped in silver foil.”

“An excellent view of the Apollo 14 Lunar Module (LM) on the moon, as photographed during the first Apollo 14 extravehicular activity (EVA) on the lunar surface. The astronauts have already deployed the U.S. flag. Note the laser ranging retro reflector (LR-3) at the foot of the LM ladder. The LR-3 was deployed later. While astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander, and Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, descended in the LM to explore the moon, astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.”
