David Scott (American, b. 1932) or James Irwin (American, 1930-1991) Close-up of the Command Spaceship Endeavor over the Sea of Fertility, Apollo 15, August 1971. Numbered 'NASA AS15-88-11872' (NASA MSC) in red on the recto u.l. margin. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image size 7 1/4 x 7 1/8 in. (18.3 x 18.0 cm), unmatted. Condition: Good. N.B. Alone in the Endeavor, Worden pitched the command ship nose down toward the Moon so that Scott and Irwin in the LM could inspect and photograph the exposed SIM (Scientific Instrument Module, used for the first time on Apollo 15) bay where he would later retrieve the cassettes of the panoramic cameras during the first ever deep space EVA. The print is numbered in error, the correct negative number is AS15-88-11972.
