The Apollo 12 mission to finally land on the Moon at the place initially planned .
This mission will be saved by a young engineer who will find the solution to restore the electrical power.
Mission commander Pete Conrad will succeed in landing at the intended location.
Pete Conrad and Alan Bean are in turn treading the lunar soil and are founding many experiments.
Conrad and Bean will bring precious information for the future lunar missions.
In 1970, the Apollo 13 mission did not go as planned. Indeed, at 320000 kilometers of the Earth an oxygen tank will explode, obliging the crew to take refuge in the lunar module. At that moment the mission has only one objectif: bring back the astronauts on Earth.
It will take the determination of all those involved in the mission to bring the astronauts home and the Apollo 13 mission will be called a successful failure.
Apollo 14 must fulfill the mission initially planned for Apollo 13 .
Alan Shepard is the commander but the mission starts badly. Indeed, it will take 6 attempts to dock in orbit the command module to the lunar module.
Finally on February 5, 1971 Shepard will land on the Moon.
Shepard and Mitchell make their first exit on the lunar ground to make some experiments and deposit scientific material.
The following day, the two astronauts must go on the Como crater but they get lost and at the end of forces, they must join the lunar module. Before leaving the Moon, Shepard will play golf !
July 30, 1971: Apollo 15 mission
During this mission , David Scott and James Irwin must explore the Moon in a jeep designed by NASA.
During the Apollo 16 mission, John Young and Charles Duke have to land on the top a plateau located in the Descartes mountain area.
Geologists want to test their theory that this area is of volcanic origin.
After several technical problems, the two astronauts finally land on the Moon on April 21, 1972. Young and Duke explored the Moon aboard the NASA rover and took many samples but none of them proved to be of volcanic origin.
Back near the lunar module, Young will carry out a « lunar Grand Prix » which consists in testing the performances of the rover ( it will not however exceed the 10 kilometers per hour).
After having carried out tests , Duke and Young leave the Moon. Just before the departure, Duke will try to beat the record of jump , he will fall on his back but fortunately it will be without consequences.
This mission will allow geologists to conclude that the Descartes mountainous area is the result of asteroid impacts.
