David Scott Two overlapping panoramic views of the Hadley landing site from the top hatch of the LM Falcon after touchdown during the only stand up EVA performed on the Moon, Apollo 15, 26 July- 7 August 1971, stand up EVA Vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, 25,4 x 20,3 cm (10 x 8 in), with NASA captions on versos, BLACK NUMBERED NASA S-71-44698 and NASA S-71-44702 (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center), (2) Footnotes: two very rare overlapping frames from a 360° panorama showing the exceptional beauty of the Hadley-Apennine landing site with in particular the giant Mount Hadley Delta (4,000 m) and St George Crater on its flank. Following touchdown, Scott and Irwin gave the scientists in Houston a thorough description of the surrounding moonscape and, rather than restricting themselves to the views out the forward-facing windows, they donned helmets and gloves for what was known as a Stand-up EV'. They bled all the air out of the cabin then Scott opened the overhead hatch. Standing on the ascent engine cover with his upper body outside the spacecraft and bracing himself in the opening he took a series of pictures all the way round the horizon with the Hasselblad 70-mm camera.
