Alan Bean unloading equipment from the Lunar Module Intrepid

Earth's Moon
Apollo 12 lunar module pilot Alan Bean unloads equipment stored in the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA). The image shows a good view of the lunar Module "Intrepid". The equipment consisted of scientific instruments (the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package, or ALSEP) to be deployed on the first moonwalk. This image was taken by commander Charles "Pete" Conrad, looking to the south. The edge of Surveyor crater can be seen on the left (east) side of the picture. (Apollo 12, AS12-H-46-6749)
