Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, Apollo 17 commander, salutes the deployed United States flag on the lunar surface
during Extravehicular Activity (EVA) of NASA's final lunar landing mission in the Apollo series. The Lunar Module (LM) is at left background and the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) also in background, is partially obscured. The photo was made by astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module
pilot. While astronaut's Cernan and Schmitt descended in the LM "Challenger" to explore the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "America" in lunar-orbit.
