Apollo 15 Descent Film and LRO Imagery V1.2
Video from the channel InHoaxidable about Apollo 15, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 3:59. Language: English. Video type: Archive footage.
Split-screen montage of the final stretch of Apollo 15's descent. On the left is the film shot from the lunar module Falcon after the pitchover of program P64. On the right, a reconstruction of the trajectory over the Moon from Google Earth, with an image from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter overlaid.
The original audio captures the altitude and vertical velocity readings from about 5,000 feet, the switch to program P66 around 400 feet, the dust kicked up near the ground and the remaining fuel, which drops from 9% to 6%. It ends with touchdown and the announcement that Falcon is on the Hadley plain.
