“This is the locally produced Apollo 17 timeline. These were started by Bernie Scrivener to aid him with his PR role, but we all found them a very useful, compact summary of the mission, highlighting those major activities occurring in the HSK view. I don’t know who would have produced this one – maybe Milton Turner – Bernie’s successor.

Notice I’ve added Houston time – I was using this on my visit to Houston during the mission. Looks like there is or should be a sheet 2, but I don't seem to have it.”

Note the key in the top left-hand corner. The dark horizontal line denotes the HSK and HSKX (i.e. Tidbinbillla) view period. The thick horizontal line denotes the HSKP (i.e. Parkes) view period. This is shorter because, due to mechanical constraints, the Parkes dish cannot point lower than 30° above the horizon.)
