The qualification model of the lunar roving vehicle (LRV) was tested in the Spacecraft Magnetic Test Facility (SMTF) at the GSFC Magnetic Test Site. Magnetic field measurements were made, both with the vehicle in its as received state and also subsequent to final deperm treatment. These measurements, together with information supplied to GSFC regarding the magnetic moment of the astronaut's extravehicular mobility units (EMU's) were used to calculate 0.5 nanotesla (gamma) contours around the LRV. The results are tabulated. Magnetic field measurements were also made with various items of LRV equipment operational. No significant changes were noted, except during operation of the vehicle wheels.
