At lower centre is the Lunar Module (LM)'s VHF antenna, one of several antennae used by the Apollo astronauts for communications while on the Moon's surface. This view was photographed during the Stand-Up EVA (SEVA) that took place after landing. US astronaut David Scott stood up in the LM's hatch to take photographs of the area surrounding the landing site. Apollo 15 was the fourth manned mission to land on the Moon. The lunar lander 'Falcon' touched down in the Hadley region of the Moon on 30 July 1971. Astronauts David Scott and James Irwin spent a total of 18.5 hours outside their spacecraft, carrying out three exploration trips (EVAs) with the Lunar Roving Vehicle.
