Description

How to Get One's Bearing on the Moon.

Detailed photographic map of the Hadley-Apennine Site, the landing area for Apollo 15, the fourth manned mission to land on the Moon, and the first to use the Lunar Roving Vehicle.

The landing site is marked on the map with a central circle titled "Horizon" with an "LM" at the center.

There is an interesting mapping convention deployed in this map: the topography is shown photographically and highlighted with contour lines, which themselves correspond to landscape views on each of the four sides of the map. Presumably, this was intended to help the astronauts get and keep their bearings upon landing on the moon. That approach to mapping is similar to the integral coastal profiles of early sea charts.

An object shown rising over the eastern mountains in the profile at far-right must be the sun.

Saturn V Manned Moon Flight

In the history of space exploration, few missions have inspired as much wonder and awe as the Saturn V manned missions undertaken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the mid-20th century. An emblematic reflection of this awe is captured in this NASA Facts Poster released in 1967.

Apollo Mission 15 Lunar Photography Index Map. Sheet 6 of 10 Mapping Camera Photographs

The Apollo Mission 15 Lunar Photography Index Map, Sheet 6 of 10, produced under the aegis of the Department of Defense by the Aeronautical Chart and Information Center of the United States Air Force for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, provides an indispensable record of lunar imagery from 1972. The focal lengths, film details, and specific frames for various revolutions (REV) of the spacecraft — including forward-looking, aft-looking, north-looking, and south-looking oblique views — are cataloged with scientific precision. Published on March 1, 1972, and lithographed by the ACIC, this index map is an integral element of the larger effort to document the moon's terrain.

(Apollo 11) Footprints of Discovery: Apollo 11's Lunar Module Shadow and Astronauts' Markings on the Moon.

This evocative photograph, AS11-37-5475, taken on July 20, 1969, captures the stark black shadow of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) contrasting against the Moon's surface. The image was taken from within the LM during the historic lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) of astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. Distinct impressions left by the lunar boots of the two pioneering astronauts are clearly visible in the lunar soil, marking their groundbreaking exploration of the Moon's surface.
