This site was picked for Apollo 17 as a location where rocks both older and younger than those previously returned from other Apollo missions and from the Luna 16 and 20 missions might be found. Following a nominal descent sequence, the spacecraft landed at 19:54:57 GMT on December 11 in a valley at Taurus-Littrow, less than 200 m from the preferred landing point.

It carried the only trained geologist to walk on the lunar surface, lunar module pilot Harrison Schmitt. The first lunar surface EVA began at 23:54:49 GMT on December 11, with Cernan stepping out of the spacecraft at 00:01:00 GMT on December 12. 70'li yıllarda dünya ile ilgili araştırmalar yapması üzere göreve yollanmış bir uzay aracı.

Launched: December 7, 1972 Landed: December 19, 1972 Crew: Eugene A. Cernan, Harrison H. Schmitt and Ronald E. Evans One experiment included on the Apollo 17 mission is the Surface Electrical Properties Experiment. A highland site southwest of Mare Crisium was considered, but was rejected because this region of the Moon was easily accessible to spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union. Despite the narrowness of the valley and the high (1.5 to 2 kilometers) mountains on either side, Apollo 15 photography showed that the Lunar Module could land safely in this region.
