The Apollo 15 Base This photograph shows astronaut James Irwin and the Apollo 15 landing site at the foot of the Apennine Mountains near the eastern edge of Mare Imbrium. The hill in the background is about 5 km away and rises about 3 km high. At the right is a Lunar Rover, an electric-powered vehicle used by astronauts to explore a greater radius around the landing site. The last three Apollo missions carried Lunar Rovers.
