24-27 April 1972: The Orion lifted off & docked with the Casper, which deployed a Particle & Fields Subsatellite (P.F.S.-2) before leaving lunar orbit a day early, due to concerns about the S.P.S. engine; Mattingly conducted the second deep-space E.V.A. to retrieve film from the S.I.M. bay, finding his lost wedding ring; the Casper splashed down in the Pacific & was recovered by the U.S.S. Ticonderoga.
