Summary edit

Description
English: Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 134/B - EVA-1 & 3.
This photo was used in Figure 4-19 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:
The CDR salutes the flag of the United States implanted at the Apollo 17 landing site. Approximately 3 km in the distance, the 2100-m-high North Massif forms the skyline. The LRV is visible at the left margin of the photograph. The flag pictured was the backup flag for the Apollo 11 mission and was in the Mission Operations Control Room from July 1969 until just before the Apollo 17 mission.
English: AS17-134-20386 (7-19 Dec. 1972) --- Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, Apollo 17 commander, is photographed next to the deployed United States flag during lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. The highest part of the flag appears to point toward our planet Earth in the distant background. This picture was taken by scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot. While astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the Lunar Module (LM) to explore the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.
