“Mount Hadley, fully lighted, showing abundant linear features. Mountain rises approximately 14,765 feet above the plain. Apollo 15 was launched July 26, 1971 at 9:34 a.m. EDT and touched down at the Hadley-Apennine site at 6:16 p.m. EDT, July 30—staying a total time of 66 hours and 55 minutes. Splashdown in the Pacific was August 7, at 4:46 p.m. EDT. Astronaut Alfred M. Worden was the command module pilot; James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot and David R. Scott, commander.”
The electronics box of the Heat Flow Experiment (HFE) can be seen at the far left center of the photograph, along with one of its two sensors protruding up from the surface to the right of it... in the disturbed, heavily trodden, darkened regolith... where David Scott busted his ass trying to get the ALSD to go deep enough to fully emplace the probe, not to mention the extraction of the drill stem first.
