月球地平线上的地球顶部
This view of the Earth’s crest over the lunar horizon was taken on July 29, 1971, during the Apollo 15 lunar landing mission. Astronauts David Scott, Alfred Worden, and James Irwin launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a Saturn V launch vehicle.
Designed to explore the Moon over longer periods, greater ranges, and with more instruments for the collection of scientific data than before, Apollo 15 included the introduction of a $40 million lunar roving vehicle (LRV) that reached a top speed of 10 mph (16 kph) across the Moon’s surface.
Upon landing on the Moon at the Hadley-Apennine site, Scott and Irwin conducted four spacewalks, including three excursions using the LRV, for a combined total of 19 hours. Worden remained in orbit aboard the command module Endeavour.

这张月球地平线上地球顶部的照片拍摄于1971年7月29日，当时阿波罗15号正在执行登月任务。宇航员大卫·斯科特、阿尔弗雷德·沃登和詹姆士·欧文乘坐土星五号运载火箭从佛罗里达州的NASA肯尼迪航天中心发射升空。
阿波罗15号的设计目的是在更长的时间内、更大的范围内探索月球，并配备比以前更多的科学数据收集仪器，包括引入一辆价值4,000万美元的月球车（LRV），其最高速度可达10英里/小时（16公里/小时）。
在哈德利·亚平宁登月点着陆后，斯科特和欧文进行了四次太空行走，包括三次使用LRV的短途旅行，总共19个小时。沃登留在奋进号指令舱的轨道上。
