Apollo 17 landing site Astronaut Gene Cernan took this image of Taurus-Littrow, the Apollo 17 landing site, from the Lunar Module on the orbit before he and Harrison Schmitt landed on Dec. 11, 1972. The Command and Service Module (CSM), with Ron Evans, can be seen in the center of the picture. The landing site is directly to the right of the CSM, among the small craters about halfway to the mountains. NASA
