Preliminary catalog of pictures taken on the lunar surface during the Apollo 17 mission

This is a catalog of all pictures taken from the lunar module or the lunar surface during the Apollo 17 lunar stay with electric Hasselblad cameras on 70 mm film. Pictures taken from lunar orbit are not listed in the tabulations.

The tabulations are arranged for the following specific uses:
1) given the number of a particular frame, find its location in the sequence of lunar surface activity, the station from which it was taken and the subject matter of the picture (table 3).
2-) given a particular location or activity within the sequence of lunar surface activity, find the pictures taken at that time and their subject matter (table 2).
3) Information concerning coverage with the 500 mm camera is given in figures 1 and 2. Film usage statistics are contained in table 1.
4) given a specific frame number, find the serial number of the camera with which it was taken (table 4).

Returned sample information contained in the listings was compiled by various members of the Apollo Lunar Geology Investigation Team. Detailed information concerning the samples is given in "Documentation and Environments of the Apollo 17 Samples--a Preliminary Report," U.S. Geological Survey Interagency Report 71, by the Apollo Lunar GeologyInvestigation Team.

The catalog was generated by correlation of individual pictures with transcripts of verbal data and notes taken by members of the Apollo Lunar Geology Investigation Team during the Apollo 17 mission. This correlation is a complex task and is still in progress. Errors in the tabulations are therefore inevitable, but it is anticipated that these will not materially affect interpretation of geologic data from the mission.
