Apollo 15 EVA panorama |
| Description |
Mosaic photographs which compose a 360-degree panoramic view of the Apollo 15 Hadley-Apennine landing site, taken near the close of the third lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) by Astronauts David Scott and James Irwin. This group of photographs was designated the Rover "RIP" Pan because the Lunar Roving Vehicle was parked in its final position prior to the two crewmen returning to the Lunar Module. The astronaut taking the pan was standing 325 feet east of the Lunar Module (LM). This mosaic covers a field of view from about souteast to about west-northwest. Visible on the horizon from left to right are: Silver Spur on the Apennine Front, Hadley Delta Mountain and St. George Crater, Bennett Hill, and the LM. |
