When missions headed to the moon from 1969 to 1972, their vessels were packed with items for research, survival, safety, and emergency. As with other missions, some of these items for Apollo 14 were meant to be left behind and some were to return to Earth. Learn how to transcribe these Apollo Stowage lists and 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.

Apollo 14 carried out the failed mission of Apollo 13. The landing site was ?Fra Mauro,? a broad hilly area near the lunar equator. Launched on January 31, 1971, Apollo 14 was an important precursor to the more sophisticated rover missions that would follow. A hand-pulled, wheeled cart allowed the astronauts to carry more geological tools.
The first American in space, Alan Shepard, commanded the mission. He was the only Mercury astronaut to go to the Moon. He landed with Edgar Mitchell, while Stuart Roosa remained in orbit.
