About Apollo 14 landing site
Apollo 14 landed in the Fra Mauro highlands on February 5, 1971. Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell spent 9 hours 23 minutes outside on two moonwalks and collected 42 kg (93 lb) of samples, while Stuart Roosa orbited overhead.
With no rover, the crew pulled their tools on a two-wheeled handcart. On the second moonwalk they climbed the ridge toward Cone crater, 340 m (1,100 ft) across, and got almost to its rim. The area is named for Fra Mauro crater, which honors the 15th-century Italian geographer Fra Mauro.
