「Apollo 17, the final Apollo mission, was launched at 05:33:00 G.m.t. (12:33:00 a.m. e.s.t.), December 7, 1972, from Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center. The spacecraft was manned by Captain Eugene A. Cernan, Commander; Commander Ronald E. Evans, Command Module Pilot; and Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt, Lunar Module Pilot.」打ち上げ日時（グリニッジ標準時05:33:00／米東部標準時午前0:33:00、1972年12月7日）、打ち上げ場所（ケネディ宇宙センター第39発射施設）、乗員3人の氏名・役職、および「the final Apollo mission」という呼称を記す。 — Apollo 17 Mission Report（後世の編纂記録）
「The Apollo Program's last lunar landing mission, and the first to include an astronaut-scientist, landed in the Moon's Taurus-Littrow Valley.」「Launch: Dec. 7, 1972」「SPLASHDOWN: Dec. 19, 1972」「crew: Eugene A. Cernan, Harrison H. Schmitt, Ronald E.

打ち上げカウントダウンはT-30秒まで順調に進んだが、自動カウントダウン・シーケンサーの故障により2時間40分の打ち上げ遅延が生じた。これはアポロ計画において機材の故障が原因となった唯一の打ち上げ遅延だったという。

「Following crew ingress, the prelaunch count proceeded normally until T-30 seconds at which time the automatic sequencer initiated a hold. The count resumed several times during the ultimate 2-hour and 40-minute delay...」「Except for the hold, the major differences to consider when comparing this launch with previous ones are those associated with the night launch. The crew could see first-stage ignition through the rendezvous window and the hatch window cutout in the boost protective cover from a very few seconds prior to lift-off until a few seconds following lift-off.」「The lack of night adaptation was a hindrance...No stars were ever visible, nor was the horizon detectable...it is the Commanders' judgement that the abort would only have been marginally successful...serious consideration must be given to the cockpit lighting configuration for powered flight...The lights were near full bright on Apollo 17 to preclude the possibility of being blinded at engine ignition and during the early seconds after lift-off.」 — Apollo 17 Mission Report（後世の編纂記録）

アポロ17号の打ち上げは夜間（米東部標準時午前0時33分）に行われた。
