a15-17_v_bw_o_n (ca. 1971 Boeing photo, verso hand-annotated V 0011)
Very nicely composed Boeing artist’s depiction, featuring the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), highlighting the Apollo Astronauts’ enhanced/extended capability to explore the lunar surface using it. Here, the Mission Commander, i.e., “driver”, has commenced collecting lunar samples shortly after departing the Lunar Module (LM). The Lunar Module Pilot (LMP) is seen zeroing in the high-gain antenna on earth, allowing Ed Fendell to assume control of the Ground Commanded Television camera, thus providing us the amazing color television imagery of their Extravehicular Activity (EVA).
8.75” x 11”. The size of the photographic paper exceeded the width of the scanner bed, hence the cut-off appearance along one side.
Another WIN. Athough minimum information is available, other than a superlative B-17 scene at least, the artist is Mr. Gene Erickson.
