Welcome to Space TechZone and In today's video we will watch Apollo 15 mission that changed the entire perspective of human beings that ever had about space.

We will also discuss:
• Apollo 15 and success that it could achieve back in 1971.
• about the bumpy ride that it had a go through prior to making it to its destination
• the technology behind Apollo 15
• Apollo 15 team that made it all possible

Marking the 50th anniversary Apollo 15 has achieved a milestone that is unique to itself in the whole world. This technological masterpiece has been able to reach out to the best levels in a very short span of time. Keeping in mind that it happened all the way back in 1971 since then there have been very few missions that are comparable to the success that the Apollo 15 has been able to achieve.

On July 26, 1971, NASA launched Apollo 15, the fourth successful mission to touch down on the moon. The Saturn V rocket blasted off from Kennedy Space Center at 9:34 a.m. The mission was intended for a longer stay on the moon with a greater focus on science than earlier landings.
In the original plan, Apollo 15 was to be the last of the “non-extended” missions, or H mission, to land in Censorinus crater. But in anticipation of budget cuts, NASA cancelled three landing missions by September 1970.

Apollo 15 became the first of three extended missions, known as J missions, and the landing site was moved to Hadley Rille, originally planned for Apollo 19. Apollo 17 would be the program’s final moon mission.

▶️ Here are some important things to know about the Apollo 15 mission on its 50th anniversary:
• The crew: Apollo 15’s crew consisted of David Scott, Al Worden and James Irwin. Scott, the commander, flew three times in space and Irwin served as Apollo Lunar Module pilot. Worden was the command module pilot.
• The spacecraft: Apollo 15 was the first lunar landing mission on which there was a heavy emphasis on science. Apollo 15’s command and service module was named Endeavour and the lunar module (LM-10) was named Falcon.
• Nice duds: The Apollo 15 astronauts wore redesigned space suits.
• Nice ride: Scott and Irwin arrived on the moon’s surface at 6:16 p.m. on July 30. Apollo 15 took things a step further by delivering a four-wheeled cruiser to the moon
• While on the moon: Once the rover was up and running, Scott and Irwin drove to “Elbow Crater.” The first EVA lasted 6 hours and 32 minutes. On the second surface mission, the crew went to Spur Crater, where they collected a sample that came to be known as the “Genesis Rock.”
• Back to Earth: Falcon lifted off the moon at 1:22 p.m. on Aug. 2 after 66 hours and 55 minutes on the lunar surface.
• Rough landing: As the crew capsule fell toward the ocean on Aug. 7, one of the three parachutes failed after deploying.
