Function: The Apollo 12 EVA tether was 30 feet long, designed in case the crew were to collect lunar samples on craters with steep sides. This tether was not used because of the ease of operating on the 12 degree slope of Surveyor crater.

Object Name: TV System, LM Color
Cospar: 1969-059C-04
Norad: N/A
Location: Precise location unknown or undisclosed.
Launch Date: 14 November 1969, 16:22:00 UT

End Date: Present
Function: Record activity on the lunar surface.

Description

The TV camera was removed from the LM for deployment on the surface. However, during the transfer, the camera was accidentally pointed at the Sun or the Sun’s reflection on the descent stage and the vision tube apparently burned out. This ended the TV coverage of the lunar surface activities.

Unlike the other scientific experiments left on the Moon, this reflector requires no power and is still functioning perfectly after 35 years. The Apollo 11 laser reflector consists of 100 fused silica half cubes, called corner cubes, mounted in a 46-centimeter (18-inch) square aluminum panel. Each corner cube is 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) in diameter. Corner cubes reflect a beam of light directly back toward its point of origin; it is this fact that also makes them so useful in Earth surveying.

Apollo 13: Crewed Lunar Landing
The Apollo 13 lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank in the service module failed two days into the mission. The story of Apollo 13 is an enduring tale of survival, perseverance and innovation in the face of emergency.
Apollo 11: Crewed Lunar Landing
The primary objective of Apollo 11 was to complete a national goal set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961: perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth.
Apollo 10: Crewed Lunar Orbit
The Apollo 10 mission encompassed all aspects of an actual crewed lunar landing, except the landing. It was the first to operate around the Moon. Objectives included a scheduled eight-hour lunar orbit of the separated lunar module, or LM, and descent to about nine miles off the Moon's surface before
