The two moon-exploring prime crewmembers of the Apollo 15 lunar landing mission train with the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida. Wearing their complete Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMU), are astronauts David R. Scott, commander, at right, and James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, at left. Brightly colored protective thermal foil material is used on the Ground Commanded Color Television Assembly (GCTA), above, and the Lunar Communications Relay Unit (LCRU), below. While astronauts Scott and Irwin descend in the Lunar Module (LM) to explore the moon, astronaut Alfred M.
