Description
English: The Apollo 17 Command Module (CM) "America," with astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Ronald E. Evans and Harrison H. Schmitt aboard, splashes down into the South Pacific Ocean after successfully concluding the final lunar landing mission in NASA's Apollo program. This overhead view was taken from a recovery aircraft as the spacecraft hit the water. Splashdown occurred at 304:31:59 ground elapsed time, 2:24:59 p.m. (EST) December 19, 1972, at coordinates of 166 degrees 8 minutes west longitude and 27 degrees 53 minutes south latitude, about 350 nautical miles southeast of Samoa. The splashdown was only .8 miles from the target point. The three crewmen were picked up by a helicopter from the prime recovery ship, USS Ticonderoga.
