Summary[edit]

Description

Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 147/A - Rev12, EVA-1.
This photo was used in Figure 4-13 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:

The CSM, near the center of the photograph, is framed against the flat valley floor at the Taurus-Littrow landing site in this dramatic west-looking view from the LM shortly after separation on revolution 12. South Massif is the large mountain just beyond the CSM. The light-colored material that extends north (to the right) onto the valley floor from South Massif is the Rock Slide, and, opposite the Rock Slide, the mountain on the north side of the landing site is North Massif. The low hill nearly centered in the valley beyond the Rock Slide is Family Mountain. The crests of South Massif and North Massif are 2500 and 2100 m, respectively, above the landing site. To the west, color differences in the surface of southern Mare Serenitatis are evident even in this highly oblique photograph.
This photo was also used for the frontispiece of the Report.
