Unidentified Photographer
The astronauts simulating lunar surface activities with the lunar rover, Apollo 15, January 1971. Numbered 'NASA S-71-16722' (NASA MSC) in red on the recto u.l. margin, inscribed 'SIM/ROVER – Bldg 5 File copy' in red ink on the recto u.r. margin, NASA MSC caption on the verso. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image size 7 1/4 x 9 1/2 in. (18.3 x 24.0 cm),unmatted.
Condition: Good.

N.B. The final three Apollo missions were scientific expeditions, outfitted with extra supplies which allowed a pair of astronauts to spend three days on the Moon. With improved spacesuits that offered greater mobility, they took moonwalks lasting up to seven hours, a full working day of exploration. Best of all, these teams brought along their own transportation: a battery-powered Lunar Rover that allowed them to travel across the landscape, even onto the sides of mountains.
Estimate $200-400
