Like all Lunar Module Pilots, Alan Bean was responsible for passing information in the form of speed and elevation to the Commander, Pete Conrad, who actually landed the lunar module. After the landing, the LMP was responsible for unloading the experiments and carrying them to a level place in front of the lunar module so they could be deployed. The Commander was responsible for helping to deploy some of the experiments.

After the experiments were deployed, the 2 men worked together to document and collect rock and soil samples. Apollo 12 landed about 600 feet from the Surveyor 3 spacecraft which landed on the moon 30 months prior to Apollo 12. Apollo 12's main mission was to prove that a pinpoint landing could be made on the lunar surface. This was important in planning future missions.
