Description
Français : Premier test du rover lunaire d'Apollo 17 avec Cernan aux commandes.
English: Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 147/A - Rev12, EVA-1.
This photo was used in Figure 4-18 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:
Shortly after deployment, the CDR drove the LRV through a series of maneuvers to check out the performance of the vehicle. The LRV was then loaded with tools, experiment hardware, a TV camera, and antennas. South Massif, the crest of which is 2500 m above the valley floor, forms the skyline 5 km behind the LM. The bands of dark gray are LRV tracks; bootprints in the lunar surface are visible near the right margin of the photograph.
