Description

Apollo 11 Hasselblad image from film magazine 40/S - EVA
The NASA Special Publication 246, Lunar Photographs from Apollos 8, 10, and 11 (1971) has the following caption for this photo:

Astronaut Aldrin is shown in this view in the process of deploying the seismometer and the laser-ranging retroreflector experiment. This area is strewn with boulders and is the site of several large craters. At the right are the footprints Aldrin made as he carried the experiment equipment. The footprints are deeper than those seen in other photographs, probably because of the added weight of the equipment.

This photo was used in Figure 1-30 in the Apollo 11 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-214), 1969, which has the following caption:

The LRRR and the PSEP are carried to the deployment area. The surface was softer near the rim of the small crater in the foreground, as can be seen by the depth of Astronaut Aldrin's footprints. (NASA AS11-40-5944)
