[Apollo 14] STRIKING CLOSE-UP OF ALAN SHEPARD AT FRA MAURO SCIENTIFIC SITE: captured by the 16mm camera on the MET NASA, 31 January - 9 February 1971, EVA 1 Printed 1971. Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based Kodak paper [NASA image S-71-19510].

Historical context This remarkable close-up captures Apollo 14 Commander Alan Shepard on the lunar surface, with a dazzling reflection of the Sun on his gold-plated visor. Visible on his left wrist is his Omega Speedmaster watch, alongside a checklist detailing key EVA tasks—a crucial reference for the astronauts as they worked through their timeline on the Moon. In the background, Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell is seen setting up the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP)—a vital suite of scientific instruments designed to collect long-term data about the Moon's seismic activity, solar wind, and magnetic field. 'We're there to do a job. That idea is never out of your head for one instant. Very much aware that it is a professional exploratory mission, and you're explorers and you've got a hell a lot of people and a hell a lot of money tied up behind you, trying to find out what this new planet's all about. And you're their eyes and their ears. You're there to observe and report.' —Edgar Mitchell (Chaikin, Voices, p. 77) Footnotes: Literature National Geographic, July 1971, p. 137 For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
