Condition: Minor wear to several corners of sheet. N.B. The astronauts had to remove the Apollo Lunar Scientific Equipment Package (ALSEP) from the stowage areas on the descent stage of the LM. It was in two sub-packages that were folded up or collapsed for more compact storage (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/missions/apollo/apollo_12/surface_opp/). The deployment of the ALSEP was one of the major tasks of the first EVA period; it was deployed on every lunar landing mission.
