Title
Irwin Loads-up the Rover
Full Description
Apollo 15 Lunar Module pilot James B. Irwin loads-up the "Rover",
Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) with tools and equipment in preparation for
the first lunar extravehicular activity (EVA-1) at the Hadley-Apennine
landing site.
A portion of the Lunar Module (LM) "Falcon" is on the left. The
undeployed Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector (LR-3) lies atop the LM's
Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA). This view is looking
slightly West of South. Hadley Delta and the Apennine Front are in the
background to the left. St. George crater is approximately 5 kilometers
(about 3 statute miles) in the distance behind Irwin's head.
