Published on 14 Sep 2021 Apollo 15: A Mission of Many Firsts Highlights of the Apollo 15 landing site, as seen in LROC NAC image M175252641R. This image has a resolution of 27 cm/px, and shows an area of 262 m by 186 m. The Lunar Module is clearly visible, as are many tracks from the Lunar Roving Vehicle (whose final resting place is just east of the edge of this image). The Apollo 15 astronauts left a number of science instruments at the site, including the Passive Seismometer Experiment (PSE), Lunar Ranging Retroreflector (LRRR), and others; these instruments were collectively part of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP). These landmarks and more are annotated in LROC's new Apollo 15 spatiotemporal map. Published on 30 Jul 2021 Boulder Tracks: Race to the Bottom of Chaplygin Crater!
