Summary

[edit]
Description

Apollo 14 Hasselblad image from film magazine 68/MM - EVA-2.
This photo was used in Figure 13-3 (b) of the Apollo 14 Preliminary Science Report (SP-272), which has the following caption:

Apollo 14 Lunar Portable Magnetometer (LPM) on the lunar surface. (a) On the MET. (b) Deployed at site A during measurement of the 103-gamma magnetic field.

The text of the Report refers to the figure as follows:

The LPM was designed as a totally self-contained, portable experiment package. During transit from the Earth to the Moon, the LPM was stowed and attached to the scientific equipment bay of the lunar module (LM) ; and, on the lunar surface, the LPM was carried on the modularized equipment transporter (MET) (fig. 13-3 (a)). In the deployed configuration (fig. 13-3 (b)), three orthogonal fluxgate sensors are mounted on top of a tripod. This sensor-equipped tripod is connected by a 15-m-long ribbon cable to the electronics box that contains a battery pack, electronics package, and three milliammeters. (A list of pertinent LPM characteristics is given in table 13-1.)
