(7-19 Dec. 1972) --- In this view, taken from the Lunar Module (LM), the Command and Service Module (CSM) are seen preparing to rendezvous with the LM. Note the reflection of the lunar surface on the CSM. The CSM, is piloted by Ronald E. Evans; while astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, commander; and Harrison W. Schmitt, lunar module pilot, are onboard the LM, following their extravehicular activities (EVA) on the moon's surface. While astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the LM "Challenger" to explore the Taurus-Littrow region of the moon, astronaut Evans remained with the CSM "America" in lunar orbit.

Photo of the Week: Jim Lovell, Pilot for the Gemini 7 spaceflight, wearing the G5C suit, walks to the elevator at Pad 19 one hour and 40 minutes before launch of the spacecraft on 4 Dec, 1965.

For the 14-day Gemini 7 mission, both Frank Borman and Jim Lovell wore a modified form of the spacesuit used on other Gemini missions. Designated the G5C, it differed from the G3C and G4C suits, worn on all other Gemini flights, in the following ways:

• The pressure helmet and neck ring was replaced with a zippered hood incorporating a clear, fixed polycarbonate visor, with the astronauts wearing modified Navy-style aviator crash helmets that incorporated the communication equipment (microphones and earphones).
• Additional zippers were included for in-flight adjustment, along with provision for complete removal of the suit.

During the mission, Lovell was the first person to take his pressure suit off, which was achieved with great difficulty due to his size. Borman later was able to get his suit off, and biomedical data collected during the flight confirmed that astronauts would be more comfortable during Apollo lunar flights in a shirt-sleeve environment, wearing flight suits during “non-critical” phases of the mission. This led to the wearing of such flight suits from Apollo 7 to the present day.

Moments later Lovell and Frank Borman, Command Pilot, rode the elevator to the White Room where they were inserted into the spacecraft to await the final moments of the countdown NASA id: S65-61848
