546 a David Scott placed a small figure on the ground near the final parking place of the Rover to “represent the “fallen” astronauts and cosmonauts, who had died in the course of duty. Next to the figure, he placed a card that lists their names“ (ALSJ caption for AS15-88-11894).
The “Fallen Astronaut” figurine was the work of Belgian artist Paul van Hoeydonck.
Scott had previously inserted color film (from Irwin’s jammed camera) into his own camera; thus he could photograph the lunar memorial in color.
546 b A frame from the panoramic sequence taken by Scott at the “VIP” site showing the front of the rover at its final parking place with Pluton Crater and the North Complex in the background.
NASA released a similar frame from the panoramic sequence after the mission (NASA AS15-89-11901).
167:48:59 Scott: Okay, I’m going to take one last pan here.
546 c Scott took this photograph as he walked back to the LM from the VIP site. Irwin is working at the MESA (Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly). The lunar-science station is visible in the right background.
546 d Scott took this last photograph of the mission on the lunar surface through the struts of the LM Falcon towards the Lunar Rover with the Apennine mountains in the background. He had parked the Rover at the VIP site, facing slightly to the right of the LM, to give the TV camera a clear view of the launch. The United States flag decal is visible on the LM.
Scott and Irwin demonstrated that the LM, the suits, the backpacks, the rover, and they, themselves, could handle a three-day visit to the lunar surface.
546 e Hill 305 is in the background. Many footprints and Rover tracks are in the foreground.
