Title: Astronaut James Irwin works at Lunar Roving Vehicle during Apollo 15 EVA
Description:
Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, works at the Lunar Roving 
Vehicle during the first Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity 
(EVA-1) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. A portion of the Lunar Module 
"Falcon" is on the left. The undeployed Laser Ranging Retro Reflector
(LR-3)  lies atop the LM's MOdulear Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA). This
view is  looking slightly west of south. Hadley Delta and the Apennine
Front are in  the background to the left. St. George crater is
approximately 5 kilometers  (about 3 statute miles) in the distance behind
Irwin's head. This photograph  was taken by Astronaut David R. Scott,
Apollo 15 commander.
