Apollo 15
26 July – 08 August 1971
Though the Rover had quite sophisticated navigation facilities,
in the beginning they had some trouble locating their position, partly because they weren’t sure of the exact location of the LM. Also, their photographic maps did not always translate into what they could see around them.
By now the sun had risen to 20° above the horizon, and the shadows were shortening. Apart from learning to drive the Rover on its first outing, Scott wrestled with trying to keep the speed up, avoid obstructions in their path, and absorb the spectacular scenery – all at the same time. He found it was difficult to take his eyes off where they were going, even for a second, so Irwin called the instrument readings. Because of all these distractions
Scott felt they were travelling much faster than 10 kilometres per hour, “I think we could motor right on through the craters. The fresh ones with all the debris we might have gone around.” As they breasted a rise they were suddenly confronted with a deep crater, and
Scott had to swing hard left, turning the Rover on two wheels. They both feared it might flip over, pinning them underneath, but thankfully it bounced back on its wheels. "=?
