#Apollo15 ushered in a new phase of lunar science:
π First use of Lunar Roving Vehicle
πͺ¨ Collection of deep geologic samples, inc anorthosite from Moonβs early crust
π° Deployment of scientific tools - Heat Flow Experiment & Lunar Surface Gravimeter (failed after deployment) #space #photography #NASA
That 1971 mission transformed lunar exploration. Using the Rover, Scott & Irwin explored features like Hadley Rille, St. George Crater & Mount Hadley Delta, collecting over 77β―kg of lunar samples - including the famous βGenesis Rock,β a fragment of the Moonβs primordial crust. #astrophotography
