Subject

EVA 3

Description

Photograph of Commander David R. Scott collecting a sample. Excellent cross-Sun "after" from the north of the Station 9a outcrop sample. Scott is reaching for the hammer. Note that he has checklists on both arms. The one on his left wrist covers the drilling tasks that have occupied him on all three EVAs. Note that Scott is not wearing a camera, because Irwin is using it to take this picture. Scott is holding individual sample bag 281 in his left hand. Note that we can see at least one rock fragment in the bag.
