Apollo 17 moon landing. A lunar panorama at geology Station 4, Shorty Crater, The Moon, was photographed as Geologist-Astronaut Harrison Schmitt explored the surface using the Lunar Roving Vehicle developed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. This was the area where Schmitt discovered unusual orange soil. As Apollo 17 was the last of the Apollo missions, Schmitt became the twelfth person to set foot on the moon.
