Title
Apollo 17 Flight Hardware Checkout
Full Description
The Kennedy Space Center launch team is continuing the checkout of Apollo 17
flight hardware for the final lunar exploration mission of Project Apollo. A
mission simulation to check out the lunar roving vehicle and all its systems was
successfully carried out.
Participating in the test, conducted in conjunction with the Manned Spacecraft
Center in Houston, Texas, were prime crew members Harrison H. Schmitt, Lunar
Module Pilot, left, and Eugene A. Cernan, Commander. Rollout of the Apollo 17
space vehicle to Complex 39's Pad A is scheduled for August 28. The lunar
