[b]Apollo 12 Launches – Nov. 14, 1969[/b] This week in 1969, the Apollo 12 mission launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, carrying astronauts Charles Conrad, Alan Bean and Richard Gordon. The primary mission objectives included an extensive series of lunar exploration tasks by the lunar module as well as deployment of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package, which was left on the moon's surface to gather seismic, scientific and engineering data over an extended period of time. Apollo 12 was the second crewed lunar landing of the Apollo program. The mission concluded when the Apollo 12 crew successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Nov. 24, 1969. Now through December 2022, NASA is marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo program that landed a dozen astronauts on the moon between July 1969 and December 1972.
