First Use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle – July 31, 1971 This week in 1971, Apollo 15 became the first mission to use the Lunar Roving Vehicle. The LRV was a lightweight, electric vehicle designed to operate in the low-gravity vacuum of the Moon. It was capable of traversing the lunar surface, allowing Apollo astronauts to extend the range of their extravehicular activities. Here, the LRV is photographed alone against the desolate lunar background following the third Apollo 15 EVA. This July, in a

Back in 1971, the Apollo 15 astronauts smuggled hundreds of unauthorized envelopes to the moon after a stamp dealer bribed them to take these "postal covers" for extra cash, hoping they'd become collector's items. The scheme got busted and all three astronauts were grounded for good. Regards, Barry from Support | Australian Research & Space Exploration - Space Australia

#VantageReels: On July 31, 1971, #Apollo 15 astronauts David R Scott and James B Irwin became the first people to drive on the moon. Astronauts used Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), popularly known as “Moon buggy” for their first lunar drive. The LRVs allowed astronauts to cover more ground and travel farther from their landing site than they could on foot and expanded their range of exploration. #FPRewind | Firstpost

In 1971, during the Apollo 15 mission, astronaut David Scott discovered one of the most important Moon samples ever found — the Genesis Rock. This ancient rock is believed to be over 4 billion years old, formed when the Moon was still young and molten. Scientists say it came from the Moon’s original crust, giving us rare clues about how the Moon — and even Earth — first formed. When it was picked up, the excitement was real: “I think we just found what we came for.” A small rock… but a huge disc

During Apollo 15’s second moonwalk (EVA-2) in 1971, astronauts David Scott and James Irwin made one of the most iconic discoveries in lunar history — the Genesis Rock! 🪨 This bright white stone, officially called Sample 15415, was found near Spur Crater on the slopes of Mons Hadley Delta. Scientists believed it might be a piece of the Moon’s original crust — one of the oldest rocks ever found by humankind. 🌑 Just imagine — while exploring in the lunar rover, they spotted this gleaming fragment

50 years ago today, on August 2, 1971, Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott took advantage of the absence of an atmosphere on the Moon to demonstrate a finding by Galileo hundreds of years earlier, that all objects released at the same time will fall toward a center of gravity at the same rate regardless of mass. In this experiment, Scott drops a hammer and a feather, which then both hit the lunar surface simultaneously. | Project Apollo Archive

On July 31, 1971, Apollo 15 astronauts drove on the moon for the first time. David Scott, the commander of Apollo 15, and James Irwin, the lunar module pilot explored the moon for three days by driving around in the lunar roving vehicle. This moon buggy was folded up and stowed inside the lunar module and deployed after landing. Unpacked, it measured about 10 feet long, 7 feet wide and 45 inches high. It could travel up to 8.6 miles per hour and allowed the astronauts to venture farther from the

During the final Apollo 15 moonwalk in 1971, astronaut David Scott proved Galileo's 400+ year old theories on gravity, by dropping two objects of different masses and showing that they fall at the same rate with no air resistance.
