Lot Essay

A superb frame from a panoramic sequence taken at station 1, located about 150 meters from the northwest rim of Steno Crater, in the middle of the Taurus-Littrow Valley.

The majestic 2500m high South Massif forms the skyline in the background; footprints and rover tracks are in the foreground.

122:26:14 Cernan: I’m going to get a pan, Jack, while you’re doing that.
122:26:16 Schmitt: Okay.
122:26:17 Parker: Good idea, Gene. (Long Pause)
122:26:41 Cernan: Man, are there some good targets for the 500(-millimeter Hasselblad camera) around here. (Pause) We’ve got to get those Massifs with the 500.
