Lunar Rover Follows its Tracks Home: Apollo 15 1971 - 4K Colorization 60fps
Video from the channel glamourdaze about Apollo 15, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 3:01. Language: English. Video type: Archive footage.
16 mm camera footage from Apollo 15 shot aboard the lunar rover as the astronauts head back to the lunar module following their own tracks. They cross a field of rocks roughly fifteen to thirty centimeters across, and the crew comments on aligned rocks that look like a crater's ray system.
It was filmed on the lunar surface during the 1971 mission. This version has color, higher resolution and more frames per second added with AI, and has the original audio of the communications with Houston synchronized to it.
On the way back, the astronauts consider leaving the tracks and heading in a straight line, since they can already see the lunar module. Mission control confirms they are 2.4 away and heading straight toward it.
