[Apollo 9] STAND-UP EVA: David Scott emerging through CSM's Gumdrop hatch, seen from docked LM Spider at sunset
James McDivittt, 3-13 March 1969
Printed 1969.
Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based Kodak paper [NASA image AS9-20-3054].
Numbered "NASA AS9-20-3054" in red in the top margin, with "A Kodak Paper" watermark on the reverse (issued by NASA Manned Spacecraft Centre, Houston, Texas).
20.3 x 25.4 cm. (8 x 10 in.)
Historical context
Taken by James McDivitt with the Hasselblad Super Wide camera and its wide-angle 38mm lens from the rendezvous window of LM Spider docked to CSM Gumdrop, this exceptionally rare photograph shows David Scott as he partially emerged for a stand-up EVA in the hatch of the orbiting Gumdrop, remaining tethered to the spacecraft via a life-support umbilical system. A 16mm DAC camera can be seen mounted to the hatch to Scott's left. The awe-inspiring limb of Earth at sunset is just visible to the left of Gumdrop.
David Scott performed another stand-up EVA on Apollo 15 but this time on the surface of the Moon when he opened the top hatch of the LM to observe the lunar landscape after landing.
