SIGNED and INSCRIBED by SCOTT on right side: "Man must explore but this is exploration at its greatest! DAVE SCOTT Apollo 15 CDR 1971.

Dave Scott is shown here conducting experiments on the lunar surface. Apollo 15 was the first of the so-called "J missions" —  from 30 July to 2 August 1971, CDR Dave Scott and LMP James Irwin conducted three lunar EVAs, spending a total of 18½ hours outside their lunar module. In addition to the unprecedented duration of the lunar landing, the mission was noteworthy for a number of firsts, including the first use of the lunar rover.
