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. This view of the "stripped down" Rover is prior
to loadup. This
photograph was taken by Scientist-Astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt,
lunar
module pilot. The mountain in the right background is the east end
of
South Massif.
