AI overview
Apollo 17 was the final crewed Moon landing mission in 1972, during which astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt walked on the lunar surface while Ronald Evans orbited above. The mission is historically significant as the last time humans have visited the Moon and because it prioritized scientific research, notably including Schmitt, the only professional geologist to land there, and various experiments designed to advance lunar knowledge.

Apollo 17 was de laatste missie van het Apolloprogramma waarbij op 11 december 1972 op de maan werd geland. Sindsdien zijn er geen bemande missies meer uitgevoerd naar de maan. De landingsplaats ligt halverwege tussen de kraters Fabbroni en Littrow in het Taurusgebergte, net ten noord-noordwesten van Mons Vitruvius. De bemanning bestond uit Eugene Cernan (commandant), Harrison Schmitt (piloot maanlander) en Ronald Evans (piloot commandomodule).
