The Mobile Equipment Transporter (MET) was a hand cart intended to assist astronauts with carrying tools, sample containers, cameras, and other equipment on the lunar surface. Equipment was placed on the bed of the transporter, which was wheeled around by astronauts using a handle, much as a wheelbarrow. It was used on Apollo 14. This unit was a backup vehicle for the one actually flown on Apollo 14. Later use in tests to see if the MET could transport heavier loads on Apollo 15, it was later returned to the Apollo 14 configuration. It was transferred to the Smithsonian in 1972.
