EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures astronaut James Irwin during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. Here, he is seen working on the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) during the first lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA-1) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The image showcases Irwin's dedication and expertise as he tinkers with the LRV, a crucial tool for exploration on the moon. In this remarkable shot taken by David R. Scott, commander of Apollo 15, we can also see a portion of the Lunar Module Falcon on the left side of the frame. The undeployed Laser Ranging Retro Reflector (LR-3) rests atop the LM's Modulear Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA), adding to the scientific equipment present at this historic location. The background reveals breathtaking lunar geography, with Hadley Delta and Apennine Front visible to Irwin's left and St George crater approximately 5 kilometers away behind him. This photograph not only showcases human achievement but also highlights our curiosity about space exploration and our desire to uncover its mysteries. As an iconic moment in American history, this image represents both technological advancement and national pride. It symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth while reminding us of our place within a vast solar system. This NASA-created artwork serves as a testament to James Irwin's contribution to manned spaceflight and his role in expanding humanity's understanding of outer space.
