Lunar landing module
Lunar landing module. The Antares lander (upper centre) in the Fra Mauro area on the surface of the Moon. The tracks seen leading from Antares were formed by the Modular Equipment Transport (MET). This was used to transport equipment and collected samples around the Moons surface. The METs apparent weight decreased from 70 kilograms (kg), to around 11 Kg, due to the Moons gravity being one-sixth that on Earth. As a result, the tracks formed by the MET on the soft surface of the Moon are only 19 millimetres deep. This was the first use of the MET, during the Apollo 14 mission of 1971 (31 January to 9 February)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lunar landing module, known as Antares, stationed in the Fra Mauro area on the Moon's surface. The image captures the remarkable tracks leading away from Antares, which were imprinted by the Modular Equipment Transport (MET). Designed to effortlessly transport equipment and collected samples across the lunar terrain, this innovative technology played a crucial role during NASA's Apollo 14 mission in 1971. The MET's weight underwent a significant reduction from its initial 70 kilograms to a mere 11 kilograms due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull, which is only one-sixth that of Earth. As a result of this reduced weight and gravity, the tracks left behind by the MET are astonishingly shallow at just 19 millimeters deep. This groundbreaking use of transportation technology allowed astronauts to efficiently navigate and explore various areas on our natural satellite. The Apollo program marked an era of technological advancement and exploration beyond our planet. With its solar-powered system illuminating every detail captured in this photograph, it serves as a testament to mankind's determination to conquer new frontiers. The tire tread marks left by the MET symbolize not only human ingenuity but also represent humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe. This extraordinary image encapsulates both scientific achievement and human ambition as we continue unraveling mysteries within our solar system through manned spaceflight missions like Apollo 14.
