Additional Details



The Saturn V third stage (S-IV-B) was intentionally fired toward the Moon after the LM was extracted by the CSM during several Apollo missions. The S-IV-B impact would provide a calibrated "moon quake" as measured by the lunar seismometer left by the Apollo 12 crew. Inscribed and signed: "A smashing success! Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 LMP."
