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. 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. Do your best with reviewing O and 0 and remember staff will review the final transcriptions.

Apollo 16 was launched on April 16, 1972, with astronauts John Young, Thomas "Ken" Mattingly, and Charles Duke. Young and Duke landed on the bright, ancient and heavily cratered highlands of the Moon. Using the rover, they traveled 26.6 km (16.5 miles) and collected 96 kg (210 lbs.) of lunar rocks and soil. Mattingly continued extensive mapping of the Moon from orbit that had been begun during earlier missions.
