Summary[edit]

Description
English: Neil has pulled the release cord. Note that Neil is holding one of the legs with his left hand, undoubtedly to keep the antenna from jumping and, possibly, tipping over, in reaction to the umbrella springing open. As Pete Conrad told the press during a post-Apollo 12 news conferenced, "I know many of you've seen it deployed in practice. It said on the instructions (that) when you deploy it, it unfolds and springs out. But it (also) said (to) hold on to the leg; and I really didn't hold on to the leg too well; and, when I deployed it, it jumped about 4 feet in the air." Ulli Lotzmann has sketched the scene ( 227k ). Probably 15 April 1969.
