First photograph of the developing zero-g convection pattern in the lefthand

Ron Evans mounted the experiment on the instrument panel at about 45
hours 26 minutes after earth launch (48:06 mission time relative to the
planned launch time). At about 45 hours 48 minutes (48:28 mission time),
Ron was told that the experiment Principal Investigator wanted a picture
of the mounting. CapCom requested
that Ron use magazine SS (162), a strong indication that the first picture was
taken as a result of that request.

At 26 hours 7 minutes, 42 seconds (28:47:42 mission time relative to the
planned launch time), Jack Schmitt tells Houston that he took four
photographs of the developing zero-g convection pattern that resulted from
the application of heat to the cell on the left. He took the photographs at
twenty-second intervals. This is the first of those pictures, which Jack
refers to as frame 26. Data Acquisition Camera (DAC) movies were also taken.

At 65 hours 24 minutes after earth launch (68:04 mission time relative to
the planned time of launch), Jack Schmitt tells CapCom Bob Parker, "Okay,
Bob, we're getting ready for the ALFMED. I just took a red-filter and a
blue-filter pictures, - On frame 41 now, with a 35-millimeter - pictures of
the Earth. And I took them one stop smaller - that is, more open - than the
lightmeter said, hoping to compensate for the small Earth. The Earth just
barely fills the most inner - the innermost circle of the spotmeter. Also,
there's a very strong band of clouds, shaped sort of like a narrow fir
tree, with a base about 20 degrees of longitude west of Baja California,
that extends up, I believe, into the vicinity of Hawaii. And the top
terminates in a very strong northern cyclone pattern."

The Apollo 17 Index of 70 mm, 35 mm, and 16 mm Photographs indicates
that AS17-162-24074 is Jack Schmitt. However, the transcript at 65 hours
27 minutes 26 seconds (68:07:26 mission time relative to the planned
time of launch) indicates that Ron Evans is in the center seat, with
Gene Cernan beyond him in the left seat. That makes Jack Schmitt the
photographer/recorder in the right seat.

115:30:55, Ron lost his scissors sometime before Gene and Jack went down
to the lunar surface. To keep him from going hungry while they were gone,
they gave him one of their pairs.
