With Back-up Commander Jim Lovell (left) looking on and holding a Hasselblad, Back-up Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise (right) examines a sample during the Sierra Blanca trip. Both have geology hammers stowed in tool belts. Haise also has what looks like a tape recorder attached to the front of his belt. The leather pouch on Lovell's left hip may also hold a tape recorder. The recorders would capture any descriptions they made of the samples which, after the end of the session, could be discussed with the trainers. 24 February 1969. Research by Ed Hengeveld.
