Apollo 15 was the fourth manned mission to land on the Moon. The lunar lander 'Falcon' touched down in the Hadley region of the Moon on 30 July 1971. Astronauts David Scott and James Irwin spent a total of 18.5 hours outside their spacecraft, carrying out three exploration trips (EVAs) with the Lunar Roving Vehicle (used for the first time on this mission). Photographed by Irwin on 2 August 1971.
