Moon landings: Apollo 15 & the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). On 31 July 1971 the LRV made its lunar debut and travelled over 17 miles with 3 hours and 2 minutes of driving time. The LRV greatly expanded the range of the Apollo astronauts' lunar surface activities and experiments. This photo, taken by commander David R. Scott, shows lunar module pilot James B. Irwin working at the LRV during the first Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site A unique optimised NASA image (with added black vertical space above original square image): Credit: NASA
