Apollo 14 to Enter Lunar Orbit After Engine Burn
Apollo 14 speeds toward a loop around the moon with Kitty Hawk to fire its engine at 11:02 p.m. to enter lunar orbit. After 24 hours nearby, Shepard and Mitchell transfer to Anteares for a descent to Fra Mauro highlands near Ocean of Storms. Landing expected 1:16 a.m. Friday with Shepard first to step onto the surface at 5:53 a.m. The crew plans two four to five hour excursions over 34 hours on the moon. Docking trouble earlier caused by a foreign particle has been resolved and mission control reports no further issues. The crew observed bright flashes thought to be cosmic rays, deemed harmless for short flights but potentially harmful on long missions.
