Title: Members of Apollo 15 crew ride Lunar Roving Vehicle during simulated EVA
Description:
A wide-angle view showing two members of the prime crew of the Apollo 15 
lunar landing mission riding in a Lunar Roving Vehicle trainer called 
"Grover" during a simulation of lunar surface extravehicular activity in
the  Taos, New Mexico area. They are Astronauts David R. Scott (riding in
left  side seat), commander; and James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot. Apollo
15 will  be the first mission to the Moon to carry a Lunar Roving Vehicle,
which will  permit the astronauts to cover a larger area for exploration
and sample  collecting than on previous missions.
