a (MSFC-Northrop MOLAB)_vr_bw_o_n (1966 reprint of MSG-G-49-2-64)

“A mobile laboratory on a lunar excursion is depicted in this artist’s drawing. The wheeled vehicle is being studied as a way of transporting men and equipment several miles from the lunar excursion module, shown at left, or other proposed lunar shelters. The NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center is directing the work being done on many lunar surface vehicles.”

 

Note the MOLAB landing module/descent stage immediately to the right of the vehicle. Also, the original title, possibly "MOLAB EXCURSION" was marked out. The LEM/astronaut scene is taken from that originally created by Craig Kavafes for Grumman.

 

A nearly identical variant, of which the artist is conclusively identified to be Rosemary A. Dobbins. Therefore reasonable to assume my posted photo is as well. So I’m going with it. A huge & unexpected WIN. At:
