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.

The final lunar landing mission was Apollo 17. Launched on December 7, 1972, on board was the only trained geologist to make the journey to the moon, Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, who flew with Eugene Cernan and Ronald Evans.
Aided by the rover, Cernan and Schmitt traversed 34.8 km (21.6 miles) and collected rock and soil samples from 22 different locations totaling 111 kg (245 lbs.) Cernan holds the distinction of being the last astronaut to walk on the Moon.
