2K5E3M6 First Lunar Rover Deployed on Moon, Apollo 15. The LRV was a 2-person, 4-wheel electric vehicle measuring 10' 2' long, 44' high with a 7-foot wheelbase. The finished rover weighed in at less than 450lbs and was comprised of large mesh wheels, antenna appendages, tool caddies, and cameras. Over its lifetime, the LRV carried six astronauts over fifty-six miles and provided the astronauts of Apollo 15, 16 and 17 greater operational mobility, increasing scientific returns several times over A unique optimised NASA image (with added black vertical space above original square image): Credit: NASA

2WBMMAP CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation helps celebrate the 40th anniversary of Apollo 16's lunar landing, which occurred April 20, 1972, with a soiree at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's Saturn V Center. Addressing the audience is Apollo 8 Command Module Pilot and Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell. The 11-day Apollo 16 mission featured three moonwalks, including a nearly 17-mile lunar rover road trip to collect more than 200 pounds of moon rocks to return to Earth.
