Apollo 16 was the tenth crewed mission in the American Apollo space program, run by NASA, and the fifth and penultimate to touch down on the Moon on April 21st, 1972. It was the second of Apollo's "J missions," which featured a lengthier stay on the lunar surface, a concentration on science, and the use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle.
The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) was an electric vehicle made to travel around the lunar surface in the low-gravity vacuum of the Moon. This allowed the Apollo astronauts to perform more surface extravehicular activities. The astronauts David Scott and Jim Irwin on Apollo 15, John Young and Charles Duke on Apollo 16, and Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt on Apollo 17 all operated LRVs on the moon.
