Astronaut
Eugene A. Cernan, Apollo 17 mission commander, makes a short
checkout of the Lunar Roving Vehicle during the early part of the
first
Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA-1) at the Taurus-Littrow
landing
site. The Lunar Module is in the background. This view of the "stripped
down" Rover is prior to loadup. This photograph was taken by
Scientist-Astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot.
