Apollo
11 astronaut Edwin Aldrin deploying the Early Apollo Science Experiments
Package (EASEP). The package consists of a seismometer on the ground
in front of Aldrin powered by a solar panel to the left. The white
rod jutting out of the top of the instrument is the antenna to send
the results back to Earth. Partially hidden behind Aldrin's right
hand is the laser ranging retroreflector.
