Apollo 17 Vintage NASA "Red Number" Color Photos (Three), Images
AS17-134-20473, AS17-137-20979, & AS17-137-21011: The Lunar Roving
Vehicle on the Moon. All are original chromogenic 10" x 8"
prints on Kodak fiber-based paper bearing the "A Kodak Paper"
watermarks on the versos. As follows.AS17-134-20473: Earth appears in the far distant background above the hi-gain antenna of the LRV in this photograph taken by scientist-astronaut Harrison Schmitt during the third EVA at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. Astronaut Gene Cernan, Apollo 17 commander, stands beside the LRV.
AS17-137-20979: A close-up view of the LRV at the Taurus-Littrow landing site photographed during Apollo 17 lunar surface EVA. Note the makeshift repair arrangement on the right rear fender of the LRV. During EVA-1 a hammer got underneath the fender and a part of it was knocked off. Astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt were reporting a problem with lunar dust because of the damaged fender. Following a suggestion from astronaut John Young in the Mission Control Center, the crewmen repaired the fender early in EVA-2 using lunar maps and clamps from the optical alignment telescope lamp. Schmitt is seated in the rover. Cernan took this picture. Tiny bottom right corner bump.
AS17-137-21011: An excellent view of the desolate lunarscape at Station 4 showing Harrison Schmitt working at the LRV during the second Apollo 17 EVA at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. Shorty Crater is to the right, and the peak in the center background is Family Mountain. A portion of South Massif is on the horizon at the left edge. Cernan took this picture.
Very desirable images, seldom offered. Excellent except as noted.
