NASA astronaut Eugene Cernan, Commander, Apollo 17, tests the Lunar Roving Vehicle during the early part of the first Apollo 17 Extravehicular Activity at the Taurus-Littrow landing site December 11, 1972. This view of the stripped down LRV prior to loading up with scientific equipment. The mountain in the right background is the east end of South Massif. While astronauts Cernan and Jack Schmitt descended in the Challenger to explore the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, Command Module pilot, remained with the Command Service Module "America" in lunar-orbit.
