When missions headed to the moon from 1969 to 1972, their vessels were packed with items for research, survival, safety, and emergency. Some of these items were meant to be left behind and some were to return to Earth; discover what was designated for which spaces during Apollo 12. Please see these REVISED instructions to learn how to transcribe these Apollo Stowage lists. You'll help researchers better understand the details of the lunar missions.
**NOTE** You will not transcribe data into the Change Date and Change Reason fields in this project; leave these fields blank. Please carefully transcribe the Item Number (Item #) format, including adding 0 or 00 when necessary.

Launched November 14, 1969, Apollo 12 demonstrated precise navigation by landing near Surveyor 3, an unmanned robotic spacecraft that landed on the moon in April of 1967. Astronauts Charles ?Pete? Conrad and Alan Bean deployed the first nuclear-powered Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) and conducted two walks, instead of the single excursion made on Apollo 11 four months earlier. Richard Gordon piloted the mothership in orbit around the Moon.
During nearly 8 hours on the Moon, Conrad and Bean collected 34 kilograms (75 pounds) of lunar material and parts of Surveyor 3 for examination back on Earth.
