    Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, holds the Lunar Roving Vehicle from sliding downhill during the second Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity. Apparently, both of the Rover's rear wheels are off the ground. The Rover was parked facing downhill on a 15 to 20 degree slope. Astronaut David R. Scott, commander, took this photograph. Scott was performing other tasks while Irwin held the Rover. They were parked at a ''fresh'' crater on the Apennine Front Hadley Delta Mountain slope. In the foreground a lunar rake lies atop a mound. Original film magazine was labeled NN, film type was S0168 High Speed Color Exterior or Color Interior Ektachrome EF - High speed color reversal, 60mm lens with a sun elevation of 30 degrees.
