Anaglyphs in the image libraries created from sequential panorama frames by the ALSJ editor exist only because of Yuri Krasilnikov's willingness to teach me the art. Whatever value the anaglyphs have is due to Yuri's insights and guidance. Flaws are my doing. Briefly, panorama stitching software Hugin is used to create both non-stereo pan assemblies and remapped versions of the images. The latter are then made into anaglyphs using GIMP. The individual remapped images are linked from the corresponding Library entries for the original frames. The remapped images can be used to create stereo views using other methods.

 

For those interested in the subject of Apollo Photography and the Color of the Moon, see a brief discussion written for the ALSJ by Michael Light.

 

Journal Contributor Paul White has made detailed comparisons of cloud patterns seen in a large number of Apollo images with imagery taken at close to the same time by various meteorlogical satellites.

 

This Apollo 15 Image Library contains all of the pictures taken on the lunar surface by the astronauts together with pictures from pre-flight training and pictures of equipment and the flight hardware. High-resolution version of many of the lunar surface images are included. A source for both thumbnail and low -resolution versions of the lunar surface images is a website compiled by Paul Spudis and colleagues at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston.

Red-Blue Anaglyph of the ALSEP, LM, LRV (0.3 Mb

Patrick Vantuyne has combined M119829425L and M119822622L. The separation exaggerates crater depths. In a black-and-white detail from Dave's color SEVA pan, Index Crater in the foreground to the right of up-Sun. The pan was taken starting at about 106:58:27, which was about 0033 UTC on 31 July 1971. At that time, the solar elevation and azimuth were 13.1 and 96.6. The eastern rim of the crater did not cast a shadow at that time, indicating that the inner eastern wall is shallower than 13.1 degrees. Another LROC image, M131623862L, was taken 2156 UTC on 19 June 2010 when the solar elevation was 8.4 degrees. At that time, the eastern half of the crater was nearly filled with shadow, indicating that the inner slope is close to 8.4 degrees. Note that the western rims of some of the small, sharp-rimmed craters within the eastern half of Index are sun lit, another indication that the solar elevation is close to the inner slope.

Rev. 38 Pan Camera Frame 9798, LM Detail ( 346k )
Stephen Tellier scanned a portion of Pan Camera frame 9798, which was taken during CSM Rev 38 at about 151:37. At that time, Dave and Jim were in the LM after the completion of EVA-2. A prominent feature of this image is the darkening of the soil around the LM and along a corridor extending from the LM toward 11 o'clock. See a comparison with frame 9377 by Markus Mehring, who has processed the images to account for differing orientations, different scales due to differing CSM-LM ranges, and different foreshortening due to differing CSM elevation angles. As Jack Schmitt discusses in the Apollo 17 commentary, the surface around the LM became brighter after being swept by the descent engine exhaust. As can be seen in photos taken on the surface, areas subsequently disturbed by the astronauts became relatively dark again. At locations relatively far from the LM, disturbed soil had the same brightness as undisturbed soil, another indication of brightening due to the engine exhaust.
Rev. 50 Pan Camera 9809, North Detail ( 332k )
This detail from Pan Camera frame 9809 was taken during CSM Rev 50 at a Ground Elapsed Time of about 175:30, two revs after LM liftoff. It shows the area from the LM in the north to Arbeit Crater in the south and from the eastern rim of Hadley Rille in the west to Luke Crater in the east. Compare a detail showing the area around the LM with similar details from the earlier pan camera frames. The immediate area around the spacecraft has been swept by engine exhaust for a second time; insulation from the descent stage was scattered around the area following staging and ignition; and there is no Ascent stage to cast a shadow.

Selene/Kaguya Image of the Landing Site ( 60k )
As can be seen from the shadows in the craters, this image was taken with the Sun low in the west. Researchers at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) present a version ( 33k ) with a realtively bright area near the known location of the LM outlined in red. The LM landed on the northwest rim of a shallow crater. A comparison ( 152k ) between a detail from Apollo 15 Pan Camera frame 9377 and the Selene/Kaguya image shows that, in the Apollo image, the western portion of the crater interior is bright while in the Selene/Kaguya image, the eastern portion is bright. It seems likely that this difference is due to illumination from the east in the case of the Apollo image and from the west in the case of the Selene/Kaguya image. In both images, the sunlit portion of the crater interior is brighter than other shallow craters in the area, suggesting that the surface layer throughout the crater was brightened by the LM engine exhaust and that the apparent degree of brightening depends on sun angle.
Pre-Flight Site Sketch ( 216k )
This pre-flight sketch shows the site from the viewpoint of an observer at an altitude of a few thousand feet above a point well north of the planned landing spot. Note that, for each of the traverses, there are broad target areas where specific sampling sites are to be picked in real-time by the crew. For example, on EVA-1, two stops were planned on the lower slopes of Mt. Hadley Delta but with Station 2 only being loosely defined as being in the western part of the hand-drawn ellipse and Station 3 being at the west end. Similarly, on EVA-3, the exact locations of Stations 9, 10 and 11 were going to be determined by the crew once they got to the edge of Hadley Rille. Scan by David Harland.

This x-ray was taken by Jack R Weakland who worked in the NASA x-ray lab from 1968 to 1979 and told Ulli Lotzmann in 2002 that " he x-rayed everything from pipe welds to the astronaut moon boots, PGA suits etc. One purpose of this x-ray was to determine and verify that there were no sharp, foreign objects imbedded in the cloth - that is, needle points, pins etc. - that could puncture the pressure suit." Scan by Ulrich Lotzmann from a contact copy provided by Weakland.

Jim Irwin (left), Al Worden, and Dave Scott pose with their color-coded Corvettes and, in the foreground, the 1-g LRV trainer. As with the stylized birds on the Apollo 15 patch, the cars are red, white, and dark blue. See a discussion of the car colors and the patch below. From the 11 June 1971 issue of Life Magzine. In a 2005 e-mail, Dave Scott notes "As I recall, this particular photo of the corvettes was taken out by the launch pad. The corvettes were stylized to essentially show the flag and set a bit of unit pride ...primarily to let the troops know that we were about and paying attention to all they were doing; e.g., at almost any level of the launch complex one could look down and recognize the crew's cars; we went to the pad often for various spacecraft activities as well as to just say hello to the folks putting the Saturn V and its payload together. Awareness, you know, something like the MFAP (Manned Flight Awareness Program, which awarded Snoopy pins to Apollo people who make special contributions. But promoting GM we were not; to own a car at the Cape was much more effective for us and less expensive to NASA than renting a car. Besides, they were fun to drive. I finally sold mine to Ed Fendell who I understand drove it many miles over many years." Scan by Ed Hengeveld, combining a scan of the cropped photograph as published and a scan of the distant vegitation and sky from whole-frame copy provided by Al Worden via Al Hallonquist. Hengeveld writes "However, the overall quality was poorer than the published Life photo, so I PhotoShopped the two together, pasting the background into my Life scan. The seam is a line in the sand behind the astronauts, just in front of the bushes. I did not keep the poorer 'Al Worden' scan.

Dave Scott practices aligning the high-gain antenna on the one-g LRV trainer using the sighting scope, which is the short, dark, cylindrical object pointing at his face plate from the base of the umbrella-shaped antenna. During the mission, the image of Earth in the scope was very faint, which made the alignment quite difficult to do. In this photo, it appears from the reflections in Dave's face plate that he is aligning the antenna toward the Sun, the only bright light in the daytime Florida sky. The Sun would have made a good object to practice pointing and, with appropriate filtering, could give a feel for finding Earth in the scope. Image filed 11 May 1971. Scan by Ed Hengeveld.

For a detailed discussion of this and other mission patches, see Gene's Dorr's excellent Space Mission Patch website and Dick Lattimer's book, All We Did Was Fly to the Moon". In the latter, Al Worden provides the following: "The mission patch for Apollo 15 was basically designed by the Italian dress designer, Emilio Pucci. We had as a crew evaluated some 540 different designs for our crew patch. They appeared either too mechanical or to have nothing to do with the flight, so finally, through a mutual friend, we asked Pucci if he would help us with the design. Now, Pucci, as I best recall, was an aeronautical engineer and had a good feeling for flight. With his artistic nature, we felt that he would be very helpful in the patch design. He did send us a design which was basically the same as the patch we eventually used, however the colors were in the normal Pucci blues, purples, and greens. We took his design, changed it from a square to a circular patch, made it red, white and blue, and put a lunar background behind the three stylized birds that were the major Pucci contribution. The symbology is of three stylized birds flying over the lunar surface, each indicating one of us who were on the flight. The lunar surface behind the patch shows the landing site (next to Hadley Rille at the foot of the Appenine Mountains) and directly behind the stylized birds is a crater formation that spells '15' in Roman numerals (XV). You can also see from the stylized birds that they fly in formation with one on top and two closer to the lunar surface, indicating those who actually landed." As can be seen in a Life Magazine photograph of the crew in their color-coded Corvettes, Al's car is the same color - white - as his patch symbol.

Mission Photos by Magazine Number

 

Beginning in 2004, NASA began to provide scans from original film and, as they become available to the ALSJ, we are using them to replace all prior versions. These are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300". See a discussion from Arizona State University about the scanning process used on the original film.

Some images are currently available only as low-resolution scans provided by NASA Johnson in the mid-1990s. The individual scans have TARGA filenames. Markus Mehring has compiled cross-references between those filenames and the NASA photo ID designations customarily used. Other images are available as higher resolution scans from prints and, unless otherwise credited, were provided by Kipp Teague.

AS15-82-11065 (OF300) ( 180k or 931k)

164:53:35 In compiling this list of photocaptions, I relied heavily on the work of Bailey and Ulrich published in Apollo 15 Voice Transcript Pertaining to the Geology of the Landing Site and have had few disagreements with their association of particular photographs with particular parts of the dialog. However, in the case of this picture, I do not agree with their suggestion that it was taken at 165:00:10. My reason for thinking that it was taken at about 164:53:44 is that, at that time, Dave and Jim stop to take a look at a rock and Dave says he's "getting it", meaning a picture. 11065 is certainly taken from Dave's side of the Rover. Jim's camera is jammed. Notice, also, the small, fresh crater at the left side which has produced a significant amount of regolith breccia.

As at Apollo 17's Van Serg Crater, the ejecta here is almost all blocks of regolith (soil) compressed in the impact that dug the crater. The formal term for this compressed material is "regolith breccia". The informal term is "instant rock".

Rightward of 11089. Jim is at the Rover at the right edge. We are looking at the back of the Rover and Jim is at the CDR's seat. Bennett Hill is in the distance beyond the Rover. Journal Contributor Roberto Ci notes that in both 11090 and 91, the bottom of the right-rear tire appears to be bent. A high-resolution version of 11108, taken from a location closer to the LRV just before Dave and Jim left Station 9 shows that the tire seems to be displaced leftwards because its right side seem to be on a rock.

AS15-82-11108 (OF300) ( 164k or 880k )
For this picture, Dave raised his aim to get a "locator" to the Rover. Bennett Hill is in the background and, at the left side of the picture, we can see Jim's left hand and the sample bag. A very-high-resolution version show that the right portion of the right-rear seems to be on a rock big enough to bend the lower part of the wire mesh to the left. With thanks to Roberto Gorla who noted the distortion of the tire as seen in 11090-1.
AS15-82-11109 (OF300) ( 284k or 1222k )
165:12:53 Cross-Sun "after" from the north, with the tongs planted in the right foreground.

Dave steps to his right to get this picture of the seat area. Jim has rested the multiple section of the deep core on his seat. This photo gives us an excellent view of the switches, switch guards, and circuit breakers on the Rover console. Note that Dave has hung his seat belt on the low-gain antenna mast support. The BSLSS bag is hanging behind Dave's seat.
AS15-82-11199 (OF300) ( 173k or 818k )
166:48:58 This picture shows the right rear wheel and the right rear of the Rover from the back. Dust-covered Rover parked at the LM at the end of EVA-3. The central area of the image is partially obscured by dust on the camera lens. Note that there are some scratches on the top of the right rear fender perhaps the result of the fender extension being pulled out during Rover deployment and scraping on the main fender.
AS15-82-11200 (OF300) ( 222k or 1080k )
166:48:58 Dave took this picture of the righthand side of the Rover from the back, looking forward. Note that there are considerable buildups of dust on the chassis next to the wheel and on the inside of the hub. Forward of the seats, we can read the face of the console and can see the switches and switch guards quite clearly. Note that only some of the switches and breakers are guarded.
AS15-82-11201 (OF300) ( 176k or 861k )
Dave moved forward to get this picture of Jim's footpan and the multiple core stem on Jim's seat. We can see more detail on the instrument panel, even though the lettering is not as easy to read. Note that Jim's gloves are very dirty. The ALSEP is visible in the background.
AS15-82-11202 (OF300) ( 165k or 871k )
Dave moved up to the right front wheel to get this picture showing dust on the inside of the hub.
AS15-82-11203 (OF300) ( 164k or 780k )
This picture shows us details on the front of the Rover, including the battery covers, the uncovered LCRU mirrors, the TCU, and tread on the left front tire. Note the cable from the low-gain antenna coming into view on the left and going around the TCU to the LCRU. Both the low-gain and high-gain antennas were connected to the LCRU on the righthand side (as seen from the seats) of the LCRU.

106:56:54 This first frame in Dave's 500-mm SEVA coverage of the North Complex shows Pluton Crater and, above it, Eaglecrest Crater. This is one of the few 500-mm images that Dave took without the camera being perfectly steady. I have used FocusMagic in an atttempt to deblur the image. Four-pixel deblurring ( 272k ) along a line 50 degrees counterclockwise from vertical seems to work best.

AS15-84-11250 (OF300) ( 134k 1083k )
Dave took this 500-mm picture of Silver Spur during the SEVA at about 106:58:07. Silver Spur is named for Caltech geologist Lee Silver, who showed Dave and Jim that field geology could be exciting. See Don Wilhelm's excellent book To a Rocky Moon. Note that there appear to be two systems of lineations in Silver Spur. One set consists of what appear to be about ten thick beds which appear to dip down from right to left as seen from the LM. As discussed in the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report, this set of lineations may well represent real structure in the mountain. The second set of lineations consists of closely-spaced, nearly horizontal lines. These may be lighting artifacts.
AS15-84-11251 (OF300) ( 102k or 1033k )

106:57:25 500-mm shot rightward of 11251, showing the east flank of Mt. Hadley Delta. A detail shows a rather spectacular bit of what might be called 'scanner fluff' or 'scanner dust'.
AS15-84-11253 (OF300) ( 108k or 1037k )
106:57:25 500-mm shot rightward of 11252, showing the east flank of Mt. Hadley Delta.

 

The following frames were taken by Dave Scott at Station 2, during EVA-1.

 

AS15-84-11254 (OF300) ( 103k or 908k )

123:19:35 Dave took a series of 500-mm photos from Station 2 on the northern flank of Hadley Delta below St. George Crater. He began with a series of images taken along a horizontal strip of the far rille wall south of Trophy Point. Note the rocks just below and to the right of center.
AS15-84-11255 (OF300) ( 91k or 914k )
123:19:35 Rightward from 11254. The rocks noted in the previous frame are below center near the left edge.

AS15-84-11256 (OF300) ( 107k or 1007k )
123:19:35 Rightward from 11255 with good overlap. Hill 305 is in the distance.
AS15-84-11256/7 Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 1.5 Mb)
Red-blue anaglyph by Erwin D'Hoore.
AS15-84-11257 (OF300) ( 130k or 1094k )
123:19:35 Rightward from 11256 with good overlap. Note the apparent layering in the formation just below center on the right. The mare surface is believed to have been built up in a series of relatively thin lava flows with some impact 'weathering' of each fresh surface before the next flow. A cross-section would show a series of thin, horizontal layers. See a detail from 11258, below.
AS15-84-11257/8 Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 1.6 Mb)
Red-blue anaglyph by Erwin D'Hoore.
AS15-84-11258 (OF300) ( 145k or 1133k )
123:19:35 Rightward from 11257 with good overlap. The layered formation is just to the right and below center and is shown in a detail ( 148k ).
AS15-84-11258/9 Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 1.4Mb)
Red-blue anaglyph by Erwin D'Hoore.
AS15-84-11259 (OF300) ( 153k or 1190k )
123:19:35 Rightward from 11258 with good overlap. Dave was not holding the camera level when he took this picture and, consequently, neither the layering in the outcrop (left of center) nor the surface of the mare beyond are horizontal but dip down to the left. However, the layering is approaximately parallel to the mare surface. The azimuth of the blocky-rimmed crater on the mare surface on the far side of the rille can be estimated to be about 306 degrees, using frame AS15-85-11447 from Jim's second pan and azimuths of 274 for Jim's shadow and 312 for the summit of Hill 305. A tentative identification is made in a labeled detail ( 0.8 Mb ) from Pan Camera frame 9377. The estimated azimuth from Station 2 of 306 degrees is indicated by the diagonal line and an estimated angular crater diameter of 3.5 degrees is consistent between views in 11259, 11447, and 9377.

Red-blue anaglyph by Erwin D'Hoore.
AS15-84-11260 (OF300) ( 144k or 1152k )
123:19:35 Rightward from 11259 with good overlap. Note the blocky ejecta around a sizeable crater on the mare surface above and to the left of center. As can be seen in frame AS15-85-11423 from Jim's first Station 2 pan, this crater is about its own angular diameter to the left of the azimuth to the summit of Hill 305. A detail from Pan Camera frame AS-9377 ( 289k ) helps establish that this is Crook Crater, which Joe Allen and the crew named before the mission.

144:47:51 This is the first in a vertical strip of 500mm images of Mt. Hadley taken by Dave Scott from Station 6. Two sets of linear features can be seen on the mountain: a set running diagonally down from the upper right to the lower left and a nearly horizontal set dipping down slightly to the left. The diagonal set is the more prominent when the mountain is viewed as a whole and these are believed to be due to lighting effects. The features in the horizontal set, when viewed from lunar orbit, appear to be benches that may have resulted from slumping on the steep mountain face. A full discussion can be found starting on page 5-11 in the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report.

AS15-85-11382 (OF300) ( 80k or 561k )
106:53:45 Rightward of 11380, with Bennett Hill on the right.

 

The following frames were taken by Dave Scott out his window after the SEVA but before EVA-1.

 

AS15-85-11383 (OF300) ( 67k or 581k )

This first picture was taken down-Sun, out of Dave's window, and shows the LM shadow and, on the horizon at the right edge, Hill 305. Note the LPD grid on Dave's window. This is the first of several pictures in this series that show the black rock Dave mentioned at 107:33:34. The black rock is labeled in a detail from 11387.
AS15-85-11384 (OF300) ( 69k or 581k )
Similar to 11383 but aimed slightly lower.
AS15-85-11385 (OF300) ( 87k or 690k )
Leftward of 11383 and 384. Note the out-of-focus grid marks scribed on Dave's window. Bennett Hill is on the horizon at the left.
AS15-85-11386 (OF300) ( 100k or 737k )
Leftward of 11385. Bennett Hill on the left.
AS15-85-11387 (OF300) ( 98k or 741k )
Leftward of 11386. Centered on Bennett Hill. The black rock Dave mentioned at 107:33:34 is labeled in a detail.
AS15-85-11388 (OF300) ( 138k or 917k )
Similar to 11387, but with the camera tilted to the left.
AS15-85-11389 (OF300) ( 116k or 828k )
Leftward of 11387. Note the fresh, raised rim crater on the left. This crater can be seen in a detail from pan camera frame 9798. It is just inside the bright area close to the LM about 45 degrees counterclockwise from the LM shadow and slightly farther from the sapcecraft than the shadow tip.
AS15-85-11390 (OF300) ( 174k or 1066k )
Slightly leftward of 11389, showing the fresh crater and the thrusters outside Dave's window.
AS15-85-11391 (OF300) ( 146k or 875k)
Leftward of 11390, showing that the fresh crater is a doublet. St. George Crater is in the distance beyond the thruster with an illuminated, subsidiary peak (290k) southwest of Hadley Delta in the far distance.

AS15-85-11392 (OF300) ( 187k or 1099k)
Similar to 11391 but slightly leftward, showing that the fresh crater is a doublet. St. George Crater is in the distance beyond the thruster.
AS15-85-11393 (OF300) ( 175k or 1003k)
Leftward of 11392, showing the bright-rimmed crater on the east flank of St. George.

 

The next sequence of frames were taken by Jim Irwin out his window after the SEVA but before EVA-1.

 

AS15-85-11394 (OF300) ( 73k or 649k )

JIm Irwin now uses the camera to take photgraphs out his window, begining with this view toward the west. Hill 305 is to the right of center. Because the LM is rotated to the right relative to down-Sun, only the righthand edge of the LM shadow is visible out Jim's window.
AS15-85-11395 (OF300) ( 95k or 726k )
Rightward of 11394 and centered on Hill 305.
AS15-85-11396 (OF300) ( 158k or 988k )
Rightward of 11395, with Hill 305 on the left.
AS15-85-11397 (OF300) ( 147k or 901k )
Rightward of 11396, with Pluton Crater and Schaber Hill just to the right of - and slight above - center.

 

The next sequence of frames comprise a clockwise pan taken by Jim Irwin at Elbow Crater, Station 1.

 

AS15-85-11398 (OF300) ( 166k or 916k )

122:13:41 Jim starts a clockwise pan at Elbow Crater, Station 1. According to the map in the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report, he is standing on the east rim of the crater. The crater is a bit washed out in this down-Sun photo. Beyond the crater, we can see the west-trending portion of the rille that skirts the base of the mountain and then turns south again. Bennett Hill is on the horizon at the left.

AS15-85-11410 (OF300) ( 202k or 974k )
122:14:35 Rightward of 11409, showing Dave from the back and from the shoulders down. His SCB is mounted on the lefthand side of his PLSS and we see the tongs, probably attached to the yo-yo attached to his waist.
AS15-85-11411 (OF300) ( 175k or 807k )
122:14:35 Rightward of 11410. Dave has the gnomon in his right hand. Note the aft extension on the left rear wheel, showing its normal deployed configuration. One fender extension was accidentally ripped off each of the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 LRVs. Good view of the rake mounted on the rear of the Rover.
AS15-85-11412 (OF300) ( 148k or 709k )
122:14:35 Rightward of 11411, showing the back of the Rover. The Apollo panoramas were taken at a 74-foot focus (the maximum available on with that particular camera/lens combination), so the back of the Rover is slightly out of focus. Note the penetrometer mounted on the back of the Rover to the left of the rack and the second pair of tongs to the right of the rake. Part of the BLSS bag is mounted on the back of the CDR seat on the left. In the distance, we can see part of the inner, southern wall of St. George Crater.
AS15-85-11412/3 Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 0.8 Mb)
Emphasising the tool rack mounted on the back of the Rover. Red-blue anaglyph by Erwin D'Hoore.
AS15-85-11413 (OF300) ( 152k or 774k )
122:14:35 Rightward of 11412, showing a view over the right rear wheel of the Rover with a portion of Elbow Crater on the left.
AS15-85-11414 (OF300) ( 150k or 832k )
122:14:35 Rightward of 11413, with Elbow Crater just beyond the Rover shadows and between the central row of fiducial crosses and the next row above.
AS15-85-11415 (OF300) ( 134k or 822k )
122:14:35 Rightward of 11413, with the near rim of Elbow Crater conicident with the middle row of fiducial crosses. Beyond Elbow, we have a view westward along the rille with Bennet Hill on the horizon.
AS15-85-11416 (OF300) ( 189k or 957k )
122:15:25 Jim's down-Sun "before" photo of Station 1 sample 15065, with Dave's shadow at the right. Note that Jim has placed himself so that his shadow does not fall on the sample.
AS15-85-11417 (OF300) ( 188k or 912k )
122:15:25 Jim has moved a few steps to his right to take this second "before" photo of Station 1 sample 15065. Note the tongs in Dave's right hand and the black watch strap on his forearm.
AS15-85-11418 (OF300) ( 199k or 977k )
122:17:34 Jim's down-Sun "before" of the second Station 1 sample, with Dave at the right taking cross-Sun photo AS15-86-11533.
AS15-85-11419 (OF300) ( 186k or 990k )
122:17:37 Jim has raised his aim to show Hill 305 and other horizon features. These can be used to help pinpoint the sample locations and, consequently, the photo is called a "locator". Note that Dave is slightly out of focus, an indication that Jim changed focus for the "locator". The image is somewhat overexposed. More, importantly, by the time Jim took this picture, Dave had already picked up the sample, undoubtedly with the tongs attached to the yo-yo on his left hip. He has the sample in his right hand and may already be describing it to Houston.
AS15-85-11420 (OF300) ( 165k or 903k )
122:21:35 Jim's down-Sun "before" of the next Station 1 sample.
AS15-85-11421 (OF300) ( 132k or 894k )
122:21:35 Jim moved to his right to get this second down-Sun "before" of the next Station 1 sample. Note the spray of dust coming off the tongs that Dave has just stuck in the ground.
AS15-85-11422 (OF300) ( 192k or 904k )
122:38:47 First frame from Jim's first Station 2 Pan. Down-Sun view of the back of the Rover. On the lefthand side, Dave is getting a pair of tongs off the Rover. In a detail, we can see that the bottom of the gnomon bag is clearly not attached to the back of Dave's seat and we can see what appears to be a Velcro loop or strap intended for that purpose. The cylindrical object just aft of the tongs is the recording drum of the penetrometer. A second pair of tongs in mounted on the Hand Tool Carrier, with the rake behind those tongs. At the front of the Rover, we see the top of the console at center, with the 16 mm DAC to the right. Below the DAC, we see the radiator on the top of the television, an indication that the camera is still pointed down and aft.
AS15-85-11423 (OF300) ( 190k or 1091k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11422. View over the right-rear Rover wheel to the far wall of the rille with Trophy Point on the right and Hill 305 in the distance.
AS15-85-11424 (OF300) ( 203k or 1123k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11423 with a partial view north along the rille on the right.
AS15-85-11425 (OF300) ( 206k or 1150k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11424, giving a spectacular view up the rille to the north. Note the fresh-raised-rim crater at the right side of the frame. This crater is southwest of Elbow and has a considerable amount of blocky ejecta around it. This crater can also be seen in pictures taken through the 500-mm lens from Stations 9 and 10. An example is AS15-89-AS15-89-12163.
AS15-85-11426 (OF300) ( 251k or 1299k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11425, with the western portion of Elbow Crater on the right. Compare the now-sunlit lower slope of Mt. Hadley with a similar view from Dave's SEVA pan, such as AS15-85-11362.

Red-blue anaglyph by Erwin D'Hoore.
AS15-85-11434 (OF300) ( 244k or 1256k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11433, with a view toward the near rim St. George Crater, which is out of sight beyond the apparent horizon.
AS15-85-11435 (OF300) ( 233k or 1197k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11434, showing Dave Scott at the Station 2 boulder. The crater at his feet was undoubtedly made when the boulder was thrown onto the slope. He has both the gnomon and the tongs in his left hand.
AS15-85-11436 (OF300) ( 233k or 1197k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11435. Dave has placed the gnomon next the boulder.
AS15-85-11437 (OF300) ( 173k or 942k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11436. This frame from Jim's Station 2 pan shows Dave examining the Station 2 boulder. In the foreground, we can see the back of the Rover. Note the orientation of the high-gain antenna. Also, a comparison with 11422 indicates that, while taking the pan on the sloping surface, he has unintentionally moved downhill.
AS15-85-11438 (OF300) ( 143k or 898k )
122:38:47 Rightward of 11438. This final frame from Jim's Station 2 pan shows the back of the Rover. A comparison with 11422 ( 122k ) indicates that, while taking the pan on the sloping surface, he has unintentionally moved downhill. Clearly, the slope has taken him back away from the Rover and to the right.
AS15-85-11439 (OF300) ( 188k or 932k )
122:41:41 Down-Sun "before" of the gnomon at the Station 2 boulder. Note that we can see Jim's SCB and his scoop in his shadow. Note that Dave has the tongs in his left hand as he uses his right hand to adjust his camera focus so that he can take AS15-86-11544 and 11545.
AS15-85-11440 (OF300) ( 178k or 888k )
122:41:41 Jim stepped to his right to get this companion to 11439. Note the secondary crater the boulder dug as it landed at it's current location. The crater is on the downhill (north) side.
AS15-85-11441 (OF300) ( 240k or 1168k )
122:59:24 Down-Sun "before" of the comprehensive sample at Station 2. We can see Jim's SCB in his shadow. He is carrying the rake. Dave is standing at the left, taking cross-Sun pictures AS15-86-11567 and 11568.
AS15-85-11442 (OF300) ( 217k or 1013k )
122:59:24 Jim has stepped to his right to take this stereo companion to 11441. We can see from the position of Dave's legs that he has turned toward the Station 2 boulder to get "locator" AS15-86-11569. Note that Dave's tongs are stuck in the soil near the boulder.
AS15-85-11443 (OF300) ( 270k or 1256k )
123:07:13 Jim's "locator" from the core site showing the Station 2 boulder and the far wall of the rille west of the bend at Elbow crater. Note that the rake head is sitting on top of the boulder. The rake is normally attached to the extension handle, but Jim needed the handle to do the core.
AS15-85-11444 (OF300) ( 155k or 859k )
123:07:13 Jim stepped to his right to take this stereo companion to 11443. Note that Dave is standing north of the gnomon, probably taking AS15-86-11574.
AS15-85-11445 (OF300) ( 122k or 780k )
123:07:37 Jim has moved farther downhill to take this down-Sun "before" of the double core site. Dave has the core sections in his SCB and has come up to Jim's left so that, once Jim finishes this picture, he can get the core sections out.
AS15-85-11446 (OF300) ( 126k or 810k )
123:17:15 This picture is the first frame in a Station 2 pan Jim took from the double-core site on the rim of a small crater above the Rover. The picture is down-Sun and shows his shadow going down into the crater. Bennett Hill and the rille are in the background, with Hill 305 at the right.
AS15-85-11447 (OF300) ( 146k or 878k )
123:17:15 Rightward of 11446. The Station 2 boulder is on the right with Hill 305 in the distance. The rake head is still sitting on top of the boulder.

125:30:44 Dave stepped to his left before taking this stereo-companion to 11466.
AS15-85-11468 (OF300) ( 188k or 786k )
125:33:21 Dave took this cross-Sun from the south of the LRRR, showing the orientation gnomon and bubble level. The LRRR, reflects laser pulses back to the telescopes on Earth used to illuminate it. By measuring the two-way travel time between the telescope and the LRRR, experiments can determine the distance between the two to a few centimeters and address such issues as Einstein's Theory of General Relativity and the existence of a liquid lunar core. As of February 2005, the retroreflectors deployed on Apollos 11, 14, and 15 were still being used in conjunction with a dedicated facility at the MacDondald Observatory in Texas.
AS15-85-11469 (OF300) ( 299k or 1282k )
125:33:21 Cross-Sun of the LRRR from the north. Note the gnomon sticking up on the right side.
AS15-85-11470 (OF300) ( 153k or 792k )
143:03:51 Dave is probably testing the Rover steering prior to maneuvering the Rover into a down-Sun heading so that he can re-initialize the navigation system based on the known position of the Sun. In this down-Sun photo, we can see the ALSEP in the background and, on the Rover, the maps and 16-mm movie camera mounted on the accessory staff forward of Jim's seat and the tool rack at the back of the vehicle. The umbrella-shaped high-gain antenna at the front of the Rover is pointed straight up, the TV is in its stowed position, the low-gain antenna just forward of Dave is pointed straight up.

The small bag mounted on the back of Jim's seat is the BSLSS (Buddy Secondary Life Support System) bag ( 159k ) which contains a set of hoses and fittings which would allow the astronauts to share cooling water in case one of them lost cooling. Note the rearward fender extensions on both visible fenders. During the flight out from Earth, these were stacked onto the forward sections and, during deployment, the astronauts slid these extensions aft on guide rails until they locked into place. On both Apollo 16 and 17, the Commanders accidentally tore the right rear extension off by walking too close and brushing against them. Ron Creel has provided a summary ( 1.3 Mb PDF ) of the fender extension losses that occurred on all three Rover missions.

AS15-85-11471 (OF300) ( 161k or 828k )
143:03:51 Jim took this excellent picture of Dave maneuvering the Rover at the start of the EVA-2 traverse. The Solar Wind Collector is visible beyond the Rover TV camera. At the front of the Rover, we can see the closed battery covers. In front of Jim's seat, we can see his footrests. Note that there is dust coming off the wheels as Dave maneuvers. This picture also gives us a good view of Dave's RCU-mounted Hasselblad camera and of the wire Rover wheels. The traverse maps are mounted on Jim's handhold and the Buddy Secondary Life Support System (BSLSS) bag is hanging from the back of Jim's seat. A high-resolution detail ( 169k ) shows Dave's Hasselblad, the DAC, the handcontroller, and the traverse map. Note the RCU bracket mounted on the back of the DAC.
AS15-85-11472 (OF300) ( 134k or 901k )
143:38:21 Dave stopped the Rover in order to take a rest break and suggested that Jim take his camera off and take a partial pan. During Apollo 16, John Young and Charlie Duke realized that they could do a full pan by turning the Rover in a tight circle while taking pictures; and they and the Apollo 17 crew used the technique to good effect. This first frame of Jim's partial pan is almost up-Sun toward the Swann Range. the foreground object is the TV camera, which is pointed down and aft to the right, roughly toward back portion of the right-front Rover wheel.
AS15-85-11473 (OF300) ( 156k or 899k )
143:38:21 Rightward of 11472, showing the Swann Range, Silver Spur, and the northeastern flank of Hadley Delta. In this picture, there is a suggestion of the shallow trough that runs along the base of the mountain.

143:55:26 Rightward of 11486, showing the now-sunlit western face of Mt. Hadley. The lineations visible on the mountain are generally believed to be a lighting effect due to the long shadows cast by small-scale undulations at this very-low sun angle. In the foreground we can see the tracks made by the Rover as Dave and Jim approached Station 6. The tracks enter the picture at left center, cross to center below the foreground crater and then uphill to the final parking place. (See, also, the caption to AS15-86- 11654.)

Red-blue anaglyph by Erwin D'Hoore.
AS15-85-11489/512 Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 0.6 Mb)
View of the Swann Range. 11489 is from Jim's first Station 6 pan; 11512 from the second. The two pan locations are separated by about 40 meters along an east-west line. The center of the anaglyph is on an azimuth about 50 degrees east of north. The effective separation of the two locations relative to that azimuth is about 26 meters, dramtically more than the typical separation - a fraction of a meter - between frames in a single pan. Consequently, we have some stereo in the Swann Range and around Mt. Hadley, with more stereo on the left side of the anaglyph and less on the right. Red-blue anaglyph by Erwin D'Hoore.
AS15-85-11490 (OF300) ( 169k or 943k )
143:56:47 Rightward of 11489, showing Mt. Hadley, the Swann Range, and the back of the Rover. A detail shows the improperly-configured vise on the top service of the geopallet. The metal sleeve that slides over the geopost for mounting the geopallet in on the forward surface behind Jim's seat.
AS15-85-11490/513 Red-Blue Anaglyph ( 0.6 Mb)

AS15-85-11496 (OF300) ( 165k or 956k )
143:56:47 Rightward of 11495. Note that Jim did not get complete coverage up the slope of Hadley Delta because of the near impossibility of leaning back far enough to aim the camera toward the summit of the mountain.
AS15-85-11497 (OF300) ( 115k or 839k )
143:56:47 Rightward of 11496. Upslope. Last frame in Jim's pan.
AS15-85-11498 (OF300) ( 130k or 864k )
143:59:14 Down-sun "before" of the first sample at Station 6, uphill of the Rover. This picture was taken with the wrong f-stop, which Jim notices and corrects before taking the next frame. We can see in Dave's shadow that he is taking a cross-Sun from upslope. The samples are 15240-45 and 15250-54.
AS15-85-11499 (OF300) ( 155k or 891k )
143:59:14 Dave and Jim are preparing to sample near a small crater uphill from the Rover at Station 6. As can be seen in a detail from this second down-Sun "before", Jim caught Dave moving his right foot forward. Between this frame and Jim's next, Dave plants the tongs in the ground beyond and a little upslope from the gnomon. Dave appears to be getting into position to do that.
AS15-85-11500 (OF300) ( 125k or 813k )
143:59:14 Jim has stepped to his right to get this stereo companion to 11499. Dave has stuck his tongs in the ground. We can see Dave's checklist is on his forearm, mostly in shadow, although part of the righthand page is in sunlight above his thumb. A pack of sample bags is hanging from his camera. Note that he is wearing strap-on pockets on both thighs. The one on his right thigh is open and we can see the Velcro strips used to hold the top closed. Dave took a cross-Sun stereopair from above the crater, AS15-86-11609 and 11610, stepping to his right between the frames. Dave has his right foot raised and, although the footprint could suggest that he has just lifted his right foot off that print, the orientation of the print seems to be inconsistent with that. Dave may be about to step to his right, perhaps between the frames of the stereopair.
AS15-85-11501 (OF300) ( 137k or 876k )
144:02:55 Jim took this down-Sun "before" of the second Station 6 sample area. The samples taken from this spot are 15290-95. Dave shadow is on the left.

144:06:26 Jim's down-Sun "before" of the third Station 6 sample area. Note that the gnomon is probably still swinging. Dave has probably just put it in position and is scuffing dirt with his feet as he backs away.
AS15-85-11504 (OF300) ( 131k or 863k )
144:06:26 Jim stepped to his right to get this stereo companion to 11503. Dave is on the left taking cross-Suns.
AS15-85-11505 (OF300) ( 136k or 870k )
144:11:10 In Jim's down-Sun of the fourth Station 6 sample site, Dave is on the downhill side of the gnomon. He has his tongs in hand and we can see individual sample bags hanging from the side of his camera. The sample taken from this spot is 15299.
AS15-85-11506 (OF300) ( 138k or 851k )
144:11:10 Jim stepped to his right to get this stereo companion to 11505. Dave may be looking at the impressions the rock made as it moved from east to west to its final resting place. Dave's close-ups of the impressions are 11626 and 11627.
AS15-85-11507 (OF300) ( 127k or 945k )
144:14:17 Jim starts a second pan from the site of the fourth Station 6 sample, beginning with this down-Sun. Note that Dave has moved the gnomon. Hill 305 is at the right edge.

AS15-86-11548 (OF300) ( 214k or 986k )
122:43:06 Jim is about to sample the fillet on the east side of the Station 2 boulder. Out on the mare, most boulders have skirts of dirt built up out of ejecta from nearby - or distant - impacts. The ejecta strikes the side of the boulder and falls to the ground, building up the skirt or fillet. In this case, the fillet is more likely to be a mound of soil pushed aside as the boulder landed at it's present location. Dave is holding an individual sample bag to receive the soil. Note the orange color of the light transmitted through the Teflon.
AS15-86-11549 (OF300) ( 375k or 1705k )
Dave's yo-yo is no longer working and he has stuck the tongs in the soil to free his hands. He may have taken this series of three photographs to show the ability of the soil to support the tongs.

AS15-86-11595 (OF300) ( 174k or 822k )
Down-Sun of the SIDE (Suprathermal Ion Detection Experiment) and the smaller CCIG (Cold-Cathode Gauge Experiment). This experiment was also deployed on Apollos 12 and 14. The solid boom connecting the two packages is a new design feature. On the prior flights, the two packages were connected by a stiff cable which tended to retain loops and, whenever either package was moved, the other one would change orientation and/or tip over. The Apollo 15 SIDE/CCIG were deployed easily and without incident.
AS15-86-11596 (OF300) ( 232k or 1146k )
Dave has backed up to get this second down-Sun of the SIDE/CCIG. Note the considerable amount of dust on the ribbon cable connecting the SIDE to the Central Station.

125:36:56 Cross-Sun from the north of the SIDE/CCIG.
AS15-86-11598 (OF300) ( 268k or 1244k )
125:45:00 In this picture that Dave took of the LM and the Rover, we can see the tire tracks made when, at 125:42:11, he backed the Rover to put it closer to the MESA. Jim is working at his side of the Rover, facing away from Dave. The rock box is visible on the MESA table. The ETB is on Dave's Rover seat. On the Rover, we can see the sighting scope on the back of the high-gain antenna, the 16-mm Data Acquisition Camera (DAC), and the penetrometer. Hadley Delta is in the background on the right and Silver Spur is to the left of the ascent stage. Note that the apparent layering in Silver Spur is still visible, although not as strongly as during the SEVA at 106:58:07. Compare with Dave's 500-mm SEVA pan of Silver Spur ( 312k ).
AS15-86-11599 (OF300) ( 274k or 1256k )
125:45:12 Jim is working at the back of the Rover, having taken a Sample Collection Bag (SCB) out from under his seat. St.George Crater in in the distance behind him.
AS15-86-11600 (OF300) ( 257k or 1184k )
125:45:00 Rightward of 11599, with Silver Spur in the background on the lefthand side of the image and Last Crater in the near dstance. Note that the lineations are not as distinct as they were during the SEVA. Compare with AS15-87- 11747. the foreground object on the left is the discarded Quad III experiment pallet. On the LM, we can see a plume deflector shield. Note the dramatic tilt of the spacecraft.
AS15-86-11601 (OF300) ( 263k or 1247k )
125:45:12 Jim is facing Dave, probably in response to Dave's request that he do so. Jim is at the back right of the Rover.
AS15-86-11602 (OF300) ( 241k or 1185k )
125:45:12 Similar to 11601, with Jim at the back of the Rover, St.George Crater in in the distance behind him.
AS15-86-11603 (OF300) ( 152k or 925k )
125:45:12 This excellent picture is the last one that Dave took at the end of EVA-1. He has moved around to a position in the LM shadow southwest of the Rover. A detail shows Jim and the Rover. Mt. Hadley, in all its glory, is in the background. On the back of the Rover we can see two SCBs mounted on the gate; and, also, the rake, both pairs of tongs, the extension handle, probably with the scoop attached, and the penetrometer. Note that the TV camera is pointed down, in the stowed position.As can be seen in a labeled detail ( ) from Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap LTO41B4 Mt. Hadley's summit is 4100 m above the LM and at a distance of 20 km. The distant, bright summit immediately to the right of Mt. Hadley is about the same height but is 33 km from the LM. A comparison of details from 11603 and AS15-92-12424, which Dave took while Jim was digging the Station 8 trench, shows the tape job Dave did during EVA-2 preps to secure Jim's broken antenna to the top of his OPS.

 

Dave Scott continued using magazine 86 during EVA-2.

 

AS15-86-11604 (OF300) ( 345k or 1709k )

142:56:47 At the start of EVA-2, Dave took this cross-Sun from the north of the small glass sphere that he had noticed on the ground under the Rover stowage position prior to the first EVA at 108:30:36. The piece of hardware on the ground is probably a so-called "pip-pin" that was pulled off the Rover during the deployment. The pip-pin and the "Aggie" are labelled in a detail from AS15-86-11606.
AS15-86-11605 (OF300) ( 320k or 1480k )

Because Dave usualy made a large step to the left before taking a stereo companion, an object that are extends a long way into the field of view - such as the boulder that dominates both images - will look very different in the two images along the right and left sides of the large object. I have made a composite anaglyph using rectangular segments that avoid the sides of the boulder. I find the composite relatively easy to view, especially if I concentrate on small areas.

Jim Irwin resumed using magazine 88.

 

AS15-88-11867 (OF300) ( 117k or 754k )

164:03:40 The Apollo 15 Index of 70 mm Photographs (MSC January 12, 1972) describes 11867-71 as showing a "microfilm cassette" taken at Station 8 - Jim's trench at the ALSEP. I am not convinced that Jim took the photos at the ALSEP site but suspect that he took them near the LM after Dave drove off at about 164:03:40. I have thought that Jim decided to walk out to the ALSEP site because he did not want to waste time getting his seatbelt on. However, it is possible that he also wanted a bit of time to put out the items he was going to leave on the Moon and take the five documentation photos.]

[In his book To Rule the Night, Jim wrote "There were a number of things we left on the Moon purposely. I left some medallions, flat pieces of silver with the fingerprints of Mary and our children. And as a result of a letter that I got two months before launch, I also left a small portrait of J. B. Irwin. A young lady sent me a picture of her father, J. B. Irwin, saying that he had talked about his desire to go to the Moon all his life. He died a seventy-five, before the first manned landing. I thought it would be a gracious gesture to take J. B.'s picture and leave it on the Moon." See more about the J.B. Irwin story in the caption for 11870, below.]

[In addition, in 2005 an inquiry to the NASA Headquarters History office by a writer in Oregon, Sierra Jenkins, brought to my attention an article from the October 2, 1971 edition of The Bulletin, a newspaper published in Bend, Oregon ( 1.2 Mb PDF ). Jim Irwin and other Apollo astronauts did geology field training near Bend on various occasions. According to the newspaper article, during one of these trips Jim met Floyd E. Watson, a building inspector in Bend who, in 1971, sent Jim a "small sliver of Central Oregon lava which I hope will be able to deliver to the Moon for me." The article then mentions a letter Watson received from Irwin in late September, stating "I did carry your sliver of lava to the moon and left it there. I took a picture of the location" The picture, which accompanies the article, is 11870 (below). The inscription appears to be in Jim's hand.]

[As of 13 July 2005, I have not had a chance to examine high-resolution scans of any of the five pictures of the left items, 11867 - 71., nor have I found independant confirmation of the story. Given that Jim obliged J. B. Irwin's daughter on a similar request, I am inclined to believe that the Watson story is true.]

[Finally, in August 2008, Joel Powell called attention to a December 1976 article in Space World magazine that describes a microfilm copy of an Apollo 11 Manned Flight Awareness Commemorative Booklet that Jim Irwin left on the Moon.]

AS15-88-11868 (OF300) ( 110k or 743k )
Jim stepped to his right and a bit closer to the items on the surface. However, he did not turn the camera left after stepping right, so he probably wasn't trying to get a stereopair but, rather, was trying to get the camera at a distance from which the items on the surface would be in focus. Note the shadow cast by what may be the scoop, off camera to the left.
AS15-88-11869 (OF300) ( 121k or 772k )
Jim stepped back and put himself at a third distance in an effort to get the items on the surface in focus. Note the white object near the center of the heel of the bootprint at the bottom on the image.
AS15-88-11870 (OF300) ( 135k or 842k )
164:03:40 As mentioned in the caption to 11867, during a geology field trip to Bend, Oregon, Jim met Floyd E. Watson, a building inspector in Bend who, in 1971, sent Jim a "small sliver of Central Oregon lava which I hope will be able to deliver to the Moon for me."]

[Jim took five pictures, AS15-88-11867 - 71 of what are undoubtedly the various items he left on the Moon. Frames 11870 and 11871 form a stereopair. On 15 July 2005, Mike Gentry and Susan Erskine at NASA Johnson provided high-resolution scans from original film of the two frames. The images are slightly out-of-focus and while preparing to make an anaglyph, Andy Chaikin applied the Photoshop Sharp Unmask function to the images and noticed that the object at the lower left, which Jim had turned over after taking 11869, is a black-and-white picture of "an elderly man, balding, with shirt and tie". This is undoubtedly J.B. Irwin, mentioned in the caption to 11867. In a detail from 11870 with Sharp Unmask applied ( 655k ), I have marked what I believe is the rock fragment Jim was indicating in the inscribed photo reproduced in The Bulletin article ( 1.2 Mb PDF ).

Note the Rover tracks on the north side of the trench in 11876. The herring-bone pattern indicates that Dave was driving from left to right, almost certainly on his way back to the LM for EVA-2 closeout, not long after Jim took 12443.

This picture shows a small crater with dark ejecta that is southwest of Elbow Crater. This small crater is one fiducial above center and 3/4 of a fiducial left. Elbow Crater is further left, but very subtle from this angle. Note that the dark-ejecta crater diameter is about half a fiducial spacing or about 0.01 radians. The distance to the crater from Station 10 is about 3.5 kilometers, so the diameter is about 35 meters. This same crater can be seen in AS15-82-11179.

AS15-90-12179 (OF300) ( 137k or 1168k )

145:07:16 Jim has started a pan at Station 6a, starting with this down-Sun showing the Rover at the upper left with the footprints he made walking across the steep slope. Hill 305 is beyond the rille on the right.
AS15-90-12180 (OF300) ( 127k or 916k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12179. The rille's turn to the west that is prominent in this image occurs almost due west of the North Complex, as can be seen on LTO41B4S1(50) ( 6.1 Mb ).
AS15-90-12181 (OF300) ( 135k or 940k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12180. The rille's turn to the west noted in the previous caption is above center. Spur Crater is in the middle distance, with the rim boulder clearly visible, as indicated in a detail. As indicated in Figure 5-98 from the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report, Dave parked about 45 meters east of the boulder.
AS15-90-12182 (OF300) ( 146k or 982k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12181. The rille's turn to the west noted in the previous caption is above center. The LM is marked in a detail ( 129k, with Pluton Crater beyond it.
AS15-90-12183 (OF300) ( 154k or 1000k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12182. Dune Crater is labeled in a detail (136k ).
AS15-90-12184 (OF300) ( 165k or 1010k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12183, showing most of the craters of the South Cluster.
AS15-90-12185 (OF300) ( 177k or 1024k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12184, showing most of the craters of the South Cluster. The craters of the Arrowhead are above center.
AS15-90-12186 (OF300) ( 176k or 1006k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12185, with Mt Hadley dominating the horizon.
AS15-90-12187 (OF300) ( 199k or 1126k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12186, with the green boulder at the lower right, Mt. Hadley in the distance on the right, and the Swann Range on the right.
Stereo Portrait of Mount Hadley ( 0.3 Mb )
Yuri Krasilnikov has created this anaglyph from frames 12208-9 taken at Station 7 and 12186-7 taken at Station 6. The images have been geometrically transformed using HUGIN software for perspective correction.
AS15-90-12188 (OF300) ( 173k or 1005k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12187, with the Station 6a boulder in the foreground and the Swann Range in the distance.
AS15-90-12189 (OF300) ( 194k or 1104k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12188. Up-Sun view into the Swann Range.
AS15-90-12190 (OF300) ( 211k or 1183k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12189. Up-Sun view into the Swann Range with some of Jim's footprints in the foreground.
AS15-90-12191 (OF300) ( 185k or 1055k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12190, looking along the Rover tracks which give a good indication of the undulation of the tracks.
AS15-90-12192 (OF300) ( 202k or 1114k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12191. Note that we are seeing a single set of Rover tracks, one track for each of the four wheels. The rear wheels do not exactly track the front wheels and create tracks slightly offset from those made by the front wheels. Note the downhill sloughing of material disturbed by the wheels, particuarly from crater rims.
AS15-90-12193 (OF300) ( 206k or 1084k )
145:07:16 Rightward of 12192. Good close-up of downhill sloughing on the right. Because Jim collected few small rocks with the rake at the various stops on the flank of Mt. Hadley Delta, it seems likely that we are seeing dirt clods in the sloughed material.
AS15-90-12194 (OF300) ( 176k or 927k )
145:09:18 Rightward of 12193. Note that there is a slight jump in the pan sequence between this photo and the prior one, and this may correspond to Dave's request to Jim that he watch Dave back the Rover up so that he can repark it below and to the east of the boulder. After watching Dave, Jim then resumed his pan. In this picture, we can see the multiple Rover tracks Dave just made while he was backing and turning.
AS15-90-12195 (OF300) ( 190k or 949k )
145:09:18 Rightward of 12194.
AS15-90-12196 (OF300) ( 168k or 901k )
145:09:18 Rightward of 12195. The footprints Dave made after dismounting are above center on the far side of the Rover tracks. Jim's are on the near side.

Journal Contributor Gary Swearingen calls attention to the mini-landslides triggered by Jim's footsteps as he made his way down from the original Rover parking spot. A detail ( 419k ) focuses on the sequence of footprints and suggests that, initially, Jim put one foot in front of the other, staying on a single level but, eventually, stepped down with his left boot and had his feet on different levels. Swearingen calls particular attention to the mini-landslide associated with the bootprints below the center of the image. The soil in that slides looks like it may have moved as a unit.

In response to a January 2006 e-mail about the mini-landslides, Apollo soil mechanics investigator David Carrier wrote, "You have started the New Year off with an interesting question!"

"Actually, our soil mechanics team noticed the same bootprints: see Figure 7-12 (AS15-90-12197) on p. 7-12 of the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report. They were discussed briefly in a section of the report concerning slope stability, pp. 7-9 to 7-12: 'A preliminary study of the 70- and 500-mm photography available thus far has been made for evidence of slope instability and past slope failures. No indication exist of previous deep-seated slope failures of the type that have been suggested by Lunar Orbiter photos of some areas of the Moon. The near-surface zones of some slopes may be near incipient failure, however. The foreground of figure 7-12 shows failure under footprints as one of the astronauts traversed the slope in the vicinity of station 6A. Detailed analysis of conditions in this area must await more precise determination of the slope angle, which is estimated to be 10 deg to 20 deg.' And the caption of Figure 7-12 reads: 'Incipient slope failure as indicated by slipping out of soil beneath astronauts' feet.'"

"As I recall, we did not pursue a more detailed analysis."

"The photo in Figure 7-12 of the report is identified as AS15-90-12197 (and, because it is part of a panoramic sequence) it would be interesting to (use adjacent images) under a stereoscope - which I no longer have! - and get a somewhat distorted stereoscopic view. It would certainly help with estimating the slope angle."

Journal Contributor Erik van Meijgaarden has combined 12196 and 12197 in the anaglyph linked below.

Carrier continues, "My impression is that there is a slight break in the slope near the closest LRV track. That is, the LRV drove along an area that was slightly flatter, and that immediately downslope from the nearest track, there is a slight local steepening. Then, when Jim Irwin walked along the track, straddling it, one foot was on the flatter area - which was pretty soft anyhow, as you can see from the depth of the bootprints - and one foot was on the top - or 'shoulder' - of the slightly steeper slope. So, his downhill bootprints caused the soil to shear and slide outward, rather than simply compress the soil downward. I agree with you that the downhill boot would be somewhat heavier than the uphill. As for the difference between the two closest downhill bootprints, it might be due to: (1) Simply a slight difference in where he placed his boot with respect to the top of the local slope; or (2) That he rotated his boot downhill in the closest bootprint, causing some fines to move over the blocky material, making it look smooth; or a combination of both."

AS15-90-12198 (OF300) ( 137k or 867k )
145:09:18 Rightward of 12197 showing the far (west) end of the Rover tracks. This frame ends Jim's Station 6a pan.
AS15-90-12199 (OF300) ( 146k or 914k )
145:12:18 Jim was careful to keep his shadow off the Station 6a boulder in this down-Sun, which is the first image in a stereopair. The rille and Hill 305 are in the distance on the right.
AS15-90-12200 (OF300) ( 121k or 850k )
145:12:18 Stereo-companion to 12199. Jim stepped to his right and a bit downhill.
AS15-90-12201 (OF300) ( 121k or 850k )
145:28:12 Jim has started a pan at Station 7. Note the large boulder in the background. Dave will sample this boulder just before they leave the station.

In December 2005, I wondered if I could find the Genesis Rock in this down-Sun and, after checking Jim's down-Sun, 12227, taken before they collected it, I had no trouble locating it, as indicated in a comparison of details from both images ( 142k ). Note that I have used Photoshop Elements to adjust levels in both images to emphasize the white areas that caught Jim's attention.

AS15-90-12202 (OF300) ( 104k or 761k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12201, showing Hadley Rille and Hill 305.

Stereo Portrait of Mount Hadley ( 0.3 Mb )
Yuri Krasilnikov has created this anaglyph from frames 12208-9 taken at Station 7 and 12186-7 taken at the green boulder. The images have been geometrically transformed using HUGIN software for perspective correction.
AS15-90-12209 (OF300) ( 165k or 894k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12208, with Mt. Hadley on the right and the Swann Range on the right.
AS15-90-12210 (OF300) ( 155k or 877k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12209. Swann Range.
AS15-90-12211 (OF300) ( 154k or 840k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12210, up-Sun.
AS15-90-12212 (OF300) ( 137k or 823k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12211, with Silver Spur on the right. Jim started his pan at 15:06:12 UTC/GMT on 1 August 1971. The solar azimuth and elevation were 104.33 degrees and 30.8 degrees, respectively. The peak to just to the right of center is approzimately up-Sun and is labeled "H" in a detail ( 1.2 Mb ) from LTO41B4.
AS15-90-12213 (OF300) ( 179k or 958k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12212, showing the Rover tracks coming down from Station 6a. The green boulder can be seen in a detail ( 79k ).
AS15-90-12214 (OF300) ( 183k or 950k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12213. The Station 6a is two fiducial marks up and one to the right of center. The Rover tracks can be followed most of the way down, as can be seen in a labeled detail ( 646k ) which has been level-adjusted to highlight the tracks. The place where the tracks almost reach the right edge of the picture may be where Jim climbed on.
AS15-90-12215 (OF300) ( 151k or 787k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12214. Showing some of the back of the Rover and some Jim's footprints. The Station 6a boulder is near the top center.
AS15-90-12216 (OF300) ( 168k or 858k )
145:28:12 Similar to 12215 but aimed higher.
AS15-90-12217 (OF300) ( 188k or 867k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12216, showing the Rover seats, handcontroller, and control panel. On the back of the Rover, we have a view (left to right) of the drill-stem vise, tongs, rake, penetrometer, and gnomon top ( 137k ).
AS15-90-12218 (OF300) ( 175k or 807k )
145:28:12 Rightward of 12217, showing Dave using the sighting scope on the hi-gain antenna. The TV camera is poinited down toward the right, front wheel. Farther aft, note the maps mounted on the mast supporting the DAC. The tool mounted on the back of the Rover are labelled in a detail.
AS15-90-12219 (OF300) ( 153k or 771k )
145:28:12Rightward of 12218, centered on Dave as he uses the sighting scope. This may be the best picture in the Apollo collection of the sighting scope being used. A detail may show, circled on the right, a small rip in the outer thermal layer of Dave's PLSS that Jim mentions during the EVA-2 close-out at 149:03:02 and a small patch, circled on the left, that may represent abrasion against the left side of Dave's seat back frame.
AS15-90-12220 (OF300) ( 142k or 787k)
145:28:12 Jim's Station 7 Pan. Rightward of 12219. Dave using the sighting scope to point the high-gain antenna at Earth.

AS15-90-12223 (OF300) ( 128k or 736k)
145:33:47 Jim's down-Sun of the first Station 7 sample shows Dave at the right taking his cross-Suns, which are AS15-86- 11662 and 11663.
AS15-90-12224 (OF300) ( 139k or 841k)
145:34:52 Jim has stepped to his left to take this stereo companion to 12223. Dave has finished his pictures and has the tongs open in his right hand. Note the sample bags hanging from the bottom of his camera. Ron Wells has provided a detail ( a15det12224.jpg ) showing Dave's watch. Ron writes that he increased the contrast in the lefthand version and used a contouring program to search for edges in producing the righthand version. A group of ALSJ Contributors see the watch reading either 9:08 to 9:10 or 10:08 to 10:12. Readers can make their own assessments. On the assumption that Jim took 12224 just before his reply to Dave at 145:34:52, the time in Houston is about 10:09 CDT on the morning of 1 August 1971.
AS15-90-12225 (OF300) ( 127k or 769k)
145:37:46 Jim's "Let me take a picture" may refer to this down-Sun "before" of the second Station 7 sample site.

145:42:07 Jim's down-Sun "before" of the Genesis Rock. Dave is standing quite close to the gnomon. Although the pedestal is a little washed out in this picture, the Genesis Rock, the white object, is quite obvious. See, also, an enhanced detail ( 128k ).
AS15-90-12228 (OF300) ( 119k or 794k)
Jim has moved several steps to his right to take a second down-Sun. Dave is holding his tongs in his left hand. The Station 7 boulder is in the background.
AS15-90-12229 (OF300) ( 113k or 725k)
145:46:54 Well-focused, well-exposed down-Sun "before" of the fourth Station 7 sample site.

AS15-90-12231 (OF300) ( 150k or 800k)
145:58:03 Down-Sun "before" of the rake sample site at Station 7. The gnomon may be swinging. Note that Dave is back from the boulder and may have just discovered that he is out of film.
AS15-90-12232 (OF300) ( 110k or 748k)
Jim stepped to his right to take this stereo companion to 12231, with the Station 7 boulder in the background. Note that Dave has dropped his tongs.
AS15-90-12233 (OF300) ( 233k or 1041k)
146:04:50 "After" of the Station 7 rake sample site. After Dave dropped his tongs, Jim accidentally stepped on them and Dave is now examining them for damage. Spur Crater is in the background. Good close-up of the two thigh pockets Dave is wearing.
AS15-90-12234 (OF300) ( 256k or 1115k)
"After" of the Station 7 rake sample site.
AS15-90-12235 (OF300) ( 235k or 1078k)

AS15-90-12236 (OF300) ( 216k or 992k)
146:07:51 At Jim's suggestion, Dave is pointing to their next Station 7 sample with his foot. This is sample 15459, a 4.8 kilogram breccia with large clasts. Note that Dave has a cuff checklist on each arm, as Houston had requested at 138:52:18, not long after the EVA-2 wake-up.
AS15-90-12237 (OF300) ( 73k or 548k)
146:30:33 Jim started his Station 4 pan with this down-Sun. Hill 305 is at the upper right.

AS15-90-12242 (OF300) ( 171k or 861k )
146:30:33 Jim's Station 4 partial Pan. Dave and Jim spent most of their time at Dune Crater sampling the large, vesicular boulder shown here on the rim. The vesicles a few inches across and are imprints of gas bubbles trapped in the rock as it cooled. Vesicles are usually found at the top of a lava flow.
AS15-90-12243 (OF300) ( 172k or 893k )
146:30:33 Jim's Station 4 partial Pan. Jim was leaning to his right as he took this picture showing the northeastern portion of Dune Crater. Note the lineations on Mt Hadley in the background.

Magazine 91/M (Color) Frames 12329-12405

Some images are currently available only as low-resolution scans provided by NASA Johnson in the mid-1990s. The individual scans have TARGA filenames. Markus Mehring has compiled cross-references between those filenames and the NASA photo ID designations customarily used. Other images are available as higher resolution scans from prints and, unless otherwise credited, were provided by Kipp Teague. Beginning in 2004, NASA began to provide scans from original film and, as they become available to the ALSJ, we are using them to replace all prior versions. The raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".
Ed Hengeveld has provided a set of thumbnails images ( 1 Mb ) made from low-resolution scans provided by Glen Swanson of NASA Johnson.

Used during translunar coast and in lunar orbit.

Markus Mehring has compiled cross-references between those filenames and the NASA photo ID designations customarily used. Other images are available as higher resolution scans from prints and, unless otherwise credited, were provided by Kipp Teague. Beginning in 2004, NASA began to provide scans from original film and, as they become available to the ALSJ, we are using them to replace all prior versions. The raw scans have been processed by Kipp Teague and are presented at 300 dpi equivalent and are labeled "OF300".

Worden, command module pilot of the Apollo 15 lunar landing mission, floats in space outside the spacecraft during his trans-Earth extravehicular activity (EVA). This photograph was taken from a frame of motion picture film exposed by the 16mm Maurer camera mounted in the hatch of the Command Module (CM). During his EVA Worden made an inspection of the Service Module's (SM) Scientific Instrument Module (SIM) bay and retrieved the film cassettes from the Panoramic Camera and the Mapping Camera. The SIM bay holds eight orbital science experiments. The EVA occurred when the spacecraft was homeward bound approximately 171,000 nautical miles from Earth."
