Artist Concept of Al Worden's Deep Space EVA
This artist's concept of the Apollo 15 Command and Service Modules (CSM) shows two crew members performing a new-to-Apollo extravehicular activity (EVA). The figure at left represents astronaut Alfred M. Worden, command module pilot, connected by an umbilical tether to the CM, at right, where a figure representing astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, stands at the open CM hatch. Worden is working with the panoramic camera in the Scientific Instrument Module (SIM). Behind Irwin is the 16mm data acquisition camera. Artwork by North American Rockwell.
Worden became the first person to do a deep space EVA on August 5, 1971, as Apollo 15 returned from the Moon. He is one of just three astronauts to have performed a spacewalk outside of low-Earth orbit.
