Original Print ofJames Irwin saluting the United States Flag on the Moon on August 1, 1971.Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, gives a military salute while standing beside the deployed U.S. Flag during the Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The Flag was deployed toward the end of EVA-2. The Lunar Module \"Falcon\" is partially visible on the right. Hadley Delta in the background rises approximately 4,000 meters (about 13,124 feet) above the plain. The base of the mountain is approximately 5 kilometers (about 3 statute miles) away. This photograph was taken by Astronaut David R. Scott, Apollo 15 commander.

Apollo 15 was the ninth manned mission in the United States\' Apollo program, the fourth to land on the Moon, and the eighth successful manned mission. It was the first of what were termed \"J missions\", long stays on the Moon, with a greater focus on science than had been possible on previous missions. It was also the first mission on which the Lunar Roving Vehicle was used which is also viablein the photo.
