On Apollo 17 in December 1972, astronaut Gene Cernan’s hammer caught the rear fender extension of the lunar rover, “and it popped clean off.” Without the fender, driving through the Moon dust “became a serious hazard.” A first repair with tape failed because “the tape lost its adhesiveness” in the dust.
A team in Houston worked out a fix with what the crew had on board. The astronauts took four of their lunar maps and fixed them to the fender with tape and “two clamps from the optical alignment telescope.” The Smithsonian’s account calls the tape “good old-fashioned American gray tape.” The four maps are now at the National Air and Space Museum.
