Apollo 15 - Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Panorama

S71-43942 (2 Aug. 1971) --- This view is the second of a series of three mosaic photographs which compose a 360-degree panoramic view of the Apollo 15 Hadley-Apennine landing site, taken near the close of the third and final lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) by astronauts David R. Scott, commander, and James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot. This group of photographs was designated the Rover "RIP" Pan because the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) was parked in its final position prior to the two crew men returning to the Lunar Module (LM). The astronaut taking the pan was standing about 325 feet east of the LM. The LRV was parked about 300 feet east of the LM. This mosaic covers a field of view from about southeast to about west by northwest. Visible on the horizon from left to right are: Sliver Spur on the Apennine Front; Hadley Delta Mountain and St. George Crater; Bennett Hill; and the LM. The other two views which compose the 360-degree pan are S71-43940 and S71-43943.
