Lunar Liftoff - At 188:01:36 GET the ascent stage of Challenger lifted off the moon to begin the return journey to Earth. The launch was captured by the lunar rover television camera and by the 16MM data acquisition camera in the LMP's window. The 16MM camera would not stay activated, so coverage from this camera is intermittent.

Sun Angle LRV Television - As long as the lunar rover batteries were active, mission control could view the Apollo 17 landing site, and did so to observe it at various sun angles. LRV television was also used to observe detonation of some of the explosive charges left behind.

Enjoy!
