During the third and last EVA of the final Apollo mission to the Moon – Apollo 17 – on 13 Dec. 1972, Gene Cernan, commander, took this photo at Station 6 of Jack Schmitt by the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) with his visor up. The photo gives a good view of the rake and the seismic charge transporter behind Gene’s seat and, behind Jack’s seat, the SEP (Surface Experiments Package) receiving antenna. In the gap behind the seats, the thermal cover for the top of the SEP receiver hangs down in the open position. Toward the front of the vehicle, note the handhold on the outside edge next to Gene’s seat. Jack’s LRV Sampler can be seen on the far side of the console and the maps can be seen just below the low-gain antenna. Gene’s seatbelt is stowed on the near side of the console.AS17-146-22296
