Summary

Description
English: This is an approximate reconstruction of Figure 4-27 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:
The landing area is shown in this partial panorama that was taken by the CDR during EVA-2. Stone Mountain, approximately 5 km in the distance, forms the skyline behind the LM. Below the "United States" sign on the LM is the modularized equipment stowage assembly pallet, a storage area for experiments and tools. A white insulation blanket protects the area from excessive heating and cooling. To the left is a white area with gold-colored insulation draping to the surface. This is the quad III payload area, a storage area for the far-UV camera/spectrograph, the lunar portable magnetometer, and handtools. The probes sticking up from the two landing pads are designed to detect LM touchdown on the Moon and then to crush and bend out of the way during the completion of the landing maneuver. The LRV is parked to the right of the LM. To the right of the American flag is the solar wind composition experiment, which provides data on the elemental and isotopic composition of the solar wind. The dark areas on the surface are boot and vehicle tracks.
