Summary

[edit]
Description

Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 137/C - EVA-2. A map clamped to the right rear fender of the lunar rover was used to replace a faulty portion of the fender as shown in this photograph at Station 2 (Nansen crater). The traverse grivimeter experiment (TGE) is the blue box at the corner of the rover.
This photo was used in Figure 4-21 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:

The partial loss of the right rear fender during EVA-1 threatened to limit the use of the LRV. Without complete fenders, the wire mesh wheels threw a plume of lunar dust across the crew and the LRV. At the beginning of EVA-2, the crew replaced the missing section using maps, tape, and two clamps from the LM. The repairs proved to be satisfactory, and no further problems were experienced. The LMP sits in the LRV.
