a15_v_c_o_AKP (unnumbered, S-71-39614 companion)
From the 'official' caption for S-71-39614...slightly modified, since it applies to this photo as well:
“An artist's concept of the Apollo 15 Command and Service Modules (CSM), showing two crewmembers performing a new-to-Apollo extravehicular activity (EVA). The figure at left represents astronaut Alfred M. Worden, command module pilot, connected by an umbilical tether to the CM, at right, where a figure representing astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, stands at the open CM hatch. Worden is working with the panoramic camera in the Scientific Instrument Module (SIM). In front of Irwin is the 16mm data acquisition camera. Artwork by North American Rockwell."
I’ve never seen this perspective before from this 'series'. Also, it’s from ca. 1971, yet the helmets depicted look pretty much like Gemini program GH-4-C helmets, not the Apollo LEVA.
R.I.P. Gentlemen, with heartfelt thanks.
Although not as evident in this image, and not exclusive to any single artist, based on the 'brush-stroke heavy' background, I'm sorta considering this to possibly have been by the hand of Donald W. Bester.
Just putting it out there, not that it matters...to anyone but me quite frankly.
