Signed NASA Photograph of Apollo 15 Crew
Official NASA mission photograph of the Prime Crew of the ninth crewed Apollo mission, Apollo 15. The photograph is signed by all three crew members, Dave Scott, Al Worden, and Jim Irwin.Apollo 15 was the fourth successful Moon landing and the first of the Apollo “J” missions. These later Apollo missions focused on scientific discovery, which was made possible by longer stays and greater mobility across the lunar surface. This was achieved with the help of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, which allowed the astronauts to travel much greater distances. The objectives of Apollo 15 were to explore the Hadley-Apennine region, set up and activate lunar surface scientific experiments, make engineering evaluations of new Apollo equipment, and conduct lunar orbital experiments and photographic tasks. At the time, NASA called it the most successful crewed flight ever achieved.
