After the failure of his camera, Irwin used Scott’s Hasselblad during the rest of the EVA. He took this photograph to document the Solar Wind Experiment near the LM. Hill 305 is in the background.

147:19:33 Scott: And, Joe, I’m on the Rover and ready to go.
147:19:36 Allen (Mission Control): Okay, Dave. We want you to park east of the ALSEP heading toward the west, and as far east as is comfortable for you. Once again with the dust problem in mind. And we want you to clean the TV camera and LCRU before you leave the Rover.
147:19:57 Scott: Okay. Park east heading west. And, I’ll just get it fairly close to the Central Station and avoid the dust. How does that sound?
147:20:10 Allen: Roger. Just don’t drive too far west. Keep it east, if you could, please.

A frame of the panoramic sequence Irwin took near the LM at the end of EVA-2 from just west of the spacecraft (12 o’clock position from the LM hatch).
Hill 305 is in the background. In the distance at the lunar-science station, Scott is dusting off the TV camera on the Lunar Rover so that Mission Control gets a good view of the astronauts’ activities.

147:22:11 Scott: Do you want the TV lens (dusted off), because we have a (cooling) mirror (on the top of the TV camera) we can dust off and we also have a lens we can dust off.
147:22:18 Allen (Mission Control): Yes, sir, both the camera and the lens, please.
147:22:24 Scott: All righty. It takes a couple different brushes. I hate to put this big brush on that lens.
147:22:32 Allen: You read it correctly. (Long Pause)
147:23:24 Scott: There. Your eye (the TV camera) is all cleaned off.

526 c
A frame of the first of three panoramic sequences taken by Irwin near the LM at the end of EVA-2, this one at the 12 o’clock position from the LM hatch (west of the spacecraft). The ladder is visible as well as the United States flag decal on the LM.

147:18:34 Allen: Sounds good, and, Jim, while you’re working there, once again...
147:18:37 Irwin: Anything else in there?
147:18:38 Allen: ...we want you to get your LM site pans...
