Apollo 15 was the first of the three "J" missions designed to conduct exploration of the Moon over longer periods, over greater ranges, and with more instruments for scientific data acquisition than on previous Apollo missions. Major modifications and augmentations to the basic Apollo hardware were made. The most significant change was the installation of a scientific instrument module in one of the service module bays for scientific investigations from lunar orbit. Other hardware changes consisted of lunar module modifications to accommodate a greater payload and a longer stay on the lunar surface, and the provision of a lunar roving vehicle. The landing site chosen for the mission was an area near the foot of the Montes Apenniuns and adjacent to Hadley Rille,. + Informações

Here's the famous footage of the Apollo 15 astronaut that dropped a hammer & feather on the moon to prove Galileo's theory that in the absence of atmosphere, objects will fall at the same rate regardless of mass. There has been much debate over the years on whether this footage is real, or was faked in a studio. Decide for yourself! Update: Here's a link to the NASA site, of some photos taken by the LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter), of various Apollo mission landing sites on the Moon: tr.im Of course, it will probably be argued that these can be faked too.. + Informações

Courtesy: NASA At the end of the last Apollo 15 moon walk, Commander David Scott (pictured above) performed a live demonstration for the television cameras. He held out a geologic hammer and a feather and dropped them at the same time. Because they were essentially in a vacuum, there was no air resistance and the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer, as Galileo had concluded hundreds of years before - all objects released together fall at the same rate regardless of mass. Mission Controller Joe Allen described the demonstration in the "Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report": During the final minutes of the third extravehicular activity, a short demonstration experiment was conducted. A heavy object (a 1.32-kg aluminum geological hammer) and a light object (a 0.03-kg falcon feather) were released simultaneously from approximately the same height (approximately 1.6 m) and were allowed to fall to the surface. Within the accuracy of the simultaneous release, the objects were observed to undergo the same acceleration and strike the lunar surface simultaneously, which was a result predicted by well-established theory, but a result nonetheless reassuring considering both the number of viewers that witnessed the experiment and the fact that the homeward journey was based critically on the validity of the particular theory being tested.

In my previous video series, "MoonFaker: Flagging The Dead Horses", I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Apollo 15 flag started moving before David Scott came near it. Some have desperately insisted that the initial movement is just "video distortion" and that the flag moved because Scott brushed it with his elbow. In this video we'll look at the subsequent frames proving that the initial movement is not video distortion of any kind and is in fact - flag movement.. + Informações

Splashdown of Apollo 15 command module "Endeavour" in the Pacific Ocean on August 7, 1971. During Earth re-entry and descent, one of the 3 parachutes failed to open fully. As a result, descent velocity was 4.5km/hr (2.8mph) faster than planned. The crew was unharmed.
