[Apollo 14] THE APOLLO 14 CREW: NASA returns to the Moon after the perils of Apollo 13
NASA, December 1970
Printed 1970.
Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based Kodak paper [NASA image AS14-66-9230].
With "A Kodak Paper" watermark on the reverse, numbered "NASA AS14-66-9230" in red in the top margin (issued by NASA Manned Spacecraft Centre, Houston, Texas).
20.3 x 25.4 cm. (8 x 10 in.)
Historical context
The Apollo 14 crew—preparing for NASA's return to the Moon after the drama of Apollo 13.
This official crew portrait features (left to right) Edgar Mitchell, Lunar Module Pilot (LMP); Alan Shepard, Commander (CDR); and Stuart Roosa, Command Module Pilot (CMP). Behind them, the Apollo 14 mission emblem prominently displays a lunar trajectory and a stylized starburst, symbolizing their journey to Fra Mauro—the landing site originally intended for Apollo 13.
Apollo 14 marked two significant returns: Alan Shepard, America's first astronaut in space, was making his long-awaited comeback after a decade grounded by an inner ear condition, while NASA resumed extended lunar exploration. This mission introduced the Modularized Equipment Transporter (MET)—a hand-pulled cart designed to assist astronauts in carrying tools and lunar samples—and included the ambitious long-range exploration of Cone Crater.
