during  lunar surface EVA simulation training at KSC. Cernan is seated in
the  left-hand seat and Schmitt is on his right (48889); Schmitt procures a 
geological hand tool from the tool carrier at the aft end of the Lunar
Roving  Vehicle during lunar surface EVA simulation training at KSC.
Schmitt grasps a  scoop with extension handle in his right hand (48890);
