APOLLO 15 Landing at Hadley Rille (1971/7/30) - Real Speed, AI Interpolation, HD, Stereo
Video from the channel Retro Space HD about Apollo 15, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 4:17. Language: English. Video type: Archive footage.
Real footage of the descent of the lunar module Falcon from the Apollo 15 mission (AS-510) until it lands on the Hadley plain, with synchronised audio of the communications. Continuous readouts of altitude, descent rate and remaining fuel can be heard, dropping from 9% to 6% in the final metres, up to the call confirming contact with the surface.
The footage was shot aboard Falcon during the actual landing at Hadley; this version corrects the speed and interpolates frames without replacing the original footage.
After contact, the crew tells Houston that Falcon is on the Hadley plain, and a contemporary announcer closes the moment by attributing the call to Dave Scott.
