NASA astronauts perform a lunar module rehearsal months before the planned Apollo 11 mission (held in July 16-24, 1969). Apollo 11 rehearsal was held at the Kennedy Space Center. An astronaut (likely Neil Armstrong) stands beside the Apollo Lunar Module “Eagle” (LM-5). “United States” is written on the lunar module. Astronaut unfolds a Contingency Sampler With Folding Handle. Astronaut demonstrates how to scoop lunar soil using a Contingency Sampler With Folding Handle. Dust (simulating as lunar dust) is being scooped with contingency sampler. The sample bag went loose from the handle of contingency sampler. The astronaut sets the handle aside and carefully picks up the sample bag. A man watches the demonstration from behind the astronaut. The astronaut seals the sample bag with its zipper. Astronaut stores the closed sample bag on his leg pocket. Astronaut turns his back on the camera.
