The Associated Press Writer universe. Now another giant Saturn 5 rocket stands on a Cape Kennedy launch pad, pointing majestically at the heavens and mans second voyage to the moon. Soar Away Apollo 12 is to soar away from earth Nov. 14, propelling astronauts Pete Charles Conrad, 39, Richard F. Gordon Jr., 40, and Alan L. Bean, 37, toward the moons Ocean of Storms. Apollo 11 proved that man can land en the moon. Apollo 12 will start the detailed geoof the logical exploration lunar surface, explained Conrad, who will command crew. the Conrad and Gordon, who flew together on Gemini 11 in 1966, are commanaers. Bean, making his first space trip is a lieutenant commander. Seafaring Names y They have selected seafaring names for their two spaceships: Yankee Clipper for the command vessel and Intrepid for the lunar lander. We think the names are fitting as we sail on this new ocean of space, Gordon commented. mission will be The filled with high adventure from the moment of the blastoff, set for 9:22 a.m. MST Nov. 14. Conrad and Bean are to ride Intrepid to a touchdown in the Ocean of Storms at 11:53 p.m. Nov. 18 and plan to stay on the surface 32 hours, 10 hours longer than Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and y ng did in we have a reasonable chance of landing right on target, Conrad reported. The touchdown point is 1,118 feet short of and 575 feet to the right of the crater where in Surveyor 3 April 1967. Smooth Circle Using new procedures, they hope to overcome the four-mil-e landing error of Apollo 11 and park Intrepid just 1,118 feet from an unmanned Surveyor 3 craft which landed on the moon 2 years ago. Two Walks generator must which be including the Surveyor, with- out too much walking. The Apollo 12 commander said pinpoint landings will be required fer later flights when the astronauts try to set down In mountainous areas and inside craters and rilles. Surveyor 3 is about 150 feet down from the rim of a diameter crater, on a 636-fo- slope. There are some who think the slope might be too steep or too slippery, Conrad said. So well try it first with A1 attached to a tether. Hell try walking into the crater and if ne has trouble, Ill pull him back up and well forget about the Surveyor. Primary Tasks Bean emphasized Surveyor w as a secondary objective and they would try to reach it only after completing their primary tasks. If they reach the Surveyor, he stod, theyll attempt to remove part? for return to earth, including a glass insulation panel, aluminum tubing, a piece of moon-landin- 30-fo- rilles. Wheeled Vehicles final four flights, the will carry along pilots wheeled vehicles that they can drive several miles over the bleak, cratered landscape. A major goal of Apollo 12 is to practice techniques developed for a pinpoint landing. Apollo 11 missed its landing site for a number of reasons, mainly action by the lunar module thrusters that altered the orbital path slightly.

Then theyll carefully document and collect about 50 pounds of rocks, another treasure for seientiste. The two spacemen also hope to make a tricky descent 150 feet down a sloping crater wall to Inspect the Surveyor and clip off parts for study. After rejoining Gordon In the orbiting Yankee dipper, they plan to deliberately crash Intrepid on the surface from a height of 65 miles to create a massii'e seismic shock. Apollo 12 is the second of 10 g Apollo flights planned by the United States in a three-yea- r period. Each will be progressively harder to achieve as astronauts u.ove from the relatively smooth plains to the highlands and then into craters and deep object with a known weight, about 5,000 pounds, and we will know where it lands, from what direction and at what speed. The impact ought to really excit the seismometer and we can infer a lot about the internal structure of the moon, Bean said. A record of the resulting shock wave, for example, could tell whether the moon is layered like toe earth, or more d have redocked Clipper after Conrad described the Ocean of Storms landing point as a rolling, relatively smooth circle 300 meters in diameter.
