Collection of 38 vintage second-generation glossy 10 x 10 silver gelatin photographs taken by the Metric Mapping Camera during Apollo 15, featuring a number of consecutive sequences taken across the lunar surface, and highlighted by a stereo pair of the Hadley Rille landing site. Also includes sunrise/sunset terminator sequences and stereo pairs. Includes several images of the Mare Serenitatis, Rima Hadley, Rimae Archimedes, Montes Caucasus, and craters 'Aristillus,' 'Timocharis,' 'Carlini,' 'Euler,' 'T. Mayer,' 'Brayley,' 'Prinz,' 'Schiaparelli,' and others. All but one frame (with trimmed borders) is identified in the border with its four-digit number and "AS15." In overall fine condition, with creasing to one image of the Hadley Rille and trimmed edges to another. Consignor notes that these photographs were acquired while working at the Manned Spacecraft Center from 1972-1974. These images were used by Planetary Scientists to not only help identify future landing sites, but also to understand the formation and evolution of the Moon.
