The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) was an electric vehicle designed to operate in the low-gravity vacuum of the Moon and to be capable of traversing the lunar surface, allowing the Apollo astronauts to extend the range of their surface extravehicular activities. Three LRVs were driven on the Moon, one on Apollo 15 by astronauts David Scott and Jim Irwin, one on Apollo 16 by John Young (the one driving in this video) and Charles Duke, and one on Apollo 17 by Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt.

#VantageReels: On July 31, 1971, #Apollo 15 astronauts David R Scott and James B Irwin became the first people to drive on the moon. Astronauts used Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), popularly known as “Moon buggy” for their first lunar drive. The LRVs allowed astronauts to cover more ground and travel farther from their landing site than they could on foot and expanded their range of exploration. #FPRewind | Firstpost
