That's Apollo 15. This is the anniversary as the mission lasted from July 26th to August 7th, 1971. This was the first mission that employed the Lunar Rover. There were a total of four EVAs or Extra Vehicular Activities. There were three moonwalks by Dave Scott and Jim Irwin and a deep space spacewalk by Command Module Pilot Al Worden as he retrieved film from a bay in the spacecraft, while the the spacecraft was between the moon and the earth.
Not an Amateur Radio related post, but I've always loved this photograph.
