Apollo 17's lunar module, Challenger, in lunar orbit. This awkward-looking ascent stage, photographed from the command module America, shows its reaction control thrusters, ascent engine, lunar surface hatch, and radar antenna. Astronaut Gene Cernan is partially visible through a window. The descent stage remains on the Moon at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. This image depicts the final Apollo Moon landing mission in December 1972.
