Two views of Edgar Mitchell and Alan Shepard during lunar surface training at the Kennedy Space Center, Apollo 14, November 1970. Numbered 'NASA S-70-46155' and 'NASA S-70-46187,' respectively, in red on the recto u.r. margin, NASA MSC captions on the verso. Vintage chromogenic prints on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image sizes to 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 in. (24.0 x 16.3 cm),unmatted.
Condition: Good.

N.B. The Hasselblad camera is mounted on Ed Mitchell's Extravehicular Mobility Unit (first image). Stripes on commander Alan Shepard's helmet and on his arms and legs help distinguish him from Mitchell, who has no stripes. The mission marked Shepard's return to spaceflight after a decade of being grounded due to an inner ear condition.
