Apollo 14 Landing Site
Fra Mauro Highlands, February 4—7, 1971
After the engineering triumphs of the first two landings, Apollo 14 was dedicated to scientific exploration. Alan Shepard and Ed Mitchell acquired samples from varying depths below the lunar surface by collecting material ejected from Cone crater (upper right). Samples from the edges of the ejecta are from near the surface, while samples from the rim are from deeper within the crater.Image ID: M175388134LR
