EP-95 ON THE MOON WITH APOLLO 16
FIGURE 60.-Retrieving film from the
SIM. In A, the astronaut is shown egressing through the CM hatch. All
three astronauts must wear spacesuits to protect themselves against
the vacuum of space. In B, an astronaut has moved to the vicinity of
the SIM and is preparing to remove the film from one camera. He holds
himself to the spacecraft by inserting his feet into special
footholds, termed golden slippers because they were formerly gold
colored. In 0, he is removing the film cassette. The other astronaut
documents the procedure with photographs and verbal descriptions. He
also helps by passing the cassettes to the astronaut in the CM for
storage. NASA PHOTO S-72-16323.
