a_v_bw_o_Agfa (Grumman LEM, photo no. 651089)
1965. Apollo Program. Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation (GAEC). Lunar Excursion Module (LEM). Powered Descent. Craig Kavafes.
Striking, and to me, iconic.
Fortunately, in this instance, the NASA photo processing person, section, department…whatever he/they were called, ‘framed’ the image so as to retain the CSM in the upper left corner. Yay!
This being the 1965 update/revision, the background has understandably remained the same, albeit with the “2/64” date of the original(?) rendition (linked below) painted over by Mr. Kavafes.
Note also the ‘doubled’ ladder, it being hinged at the bottom & folded up. It’s seen deployed in photo no. 651091, despite it appearing to have been totally unnecessary.
I love it, but I don’t get it.
