AS 17-137-20979 - Departure from Station 2

Picture of the replacement fender taken at about 143:46:34 MT by Cernan, just before driving off from Station 2. Schmitt is already seated. The dust-coated- originally-blue Traverse Gravimeter is mounted on the back of the LR, just above the replacement fender. Gene took this photo, in part, to document its condition after the 9,1 Km drive out from the LM and, in part, to document his handiwork. At the end of EVA-3 Gene decided to bring the fender back to Earth and, as of the late 90s, it was still on display at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C.
