Description
Apollo 15 Lunar Module and Rover, enhanced.
Apollo 15 lunar module pilot Jim B. Irwin loaded the lunar rover with tools and equipment in preparation for the first lunar spacewalk at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The Lunar Module 'Falcon' appears on the left in this image. The undeployed Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector lies atop Falcon's Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly. 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.
Apollo 15 launched on July 26, 1971, from Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.
