Apollo 14 mission report.

Abstract

The formal training for the crew was conducted over a time span of 20 months. The levels of vibration and oscillation, reported by earlier crews, were essentially unchanged during the launch of Apollo 14. A total of five attempts were required before docking was successfully achieved. Navigation was the most difficult problem encountered during lunar surface activities. A loose gray mantle of material covered the entire surface to an undetermined depth. Solar wind and magnetic field measurements were conducted during the time on the lunar surface.
