Title: 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.
