The video compiles the communications from the final phase of the Apollo 14 (AS-509) lunar module's descent through touchdown in the Fra Mauro region, with added music. The audio includes altitude, vertical speed and remaining fuel readings, which drops from 10% to 6% in the final stretch of the approach.
It corresponds to the landing of February 5, 1971. During the descent, the crew places Cone crater to their right and keeps correcting the landing point.
After touchdown, the astronauts confirm they are on the surface and that the landing was good.
