Apollo 17 station 6 boulders of the Taurus Littrow Valley on the Moon

This is a prototype of a scene aimed at recreating the boulders which were sampled on the Moon by astronauts of the Apollo 17 mission, at the "Station 6" geological waypoint, during their third extra vehicular activity in December 1972. Boulders have been recreated from 154 real Apollo photographies taken by astronauts H. H. Schmitt and G. Cernan using, using photogrammtry techniques. A lunar roving vehicle model has been added close to the photogrammetric one. Three lunar rock samples brought back to Earth in 1972 have also been recreated in 3D using old archived photographies and replaced at their original location. Will you find them?
Scene (still in progress...) created by Stéphane Le Mouélic and Louis Macquet (Lab. Planétologie et Géosciences/ CNRS), Nantes, France, mostly for science, outreach and teaching purposes.
