lunar terrain was very successful. The CSM and LM vehicles re-
joined on August 2, 1971, performed further photographic
experiments in orbit around the moon for 2 days. The LM was

bound trajectory. The service module was separated enroute,
and the CM returned to Earth on August 7, 1971. The mission
lasted a total of 295 hours, 11 minutes, and 53 seconds. More
information on the LM may be found under spacecraft record
71-063C.
