Retro Space HD | Apollo 15 Highlights 2 - Recreated Visuals, Remastered - Rover, Moon Liftoff, Splashdown, EVA, Audio @RetroSpaceHD | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Second part of NASA "Apollo 15 Audio Highlights" with added remastered footage, photos and simulated views. The audio highlights feature the clearest transmissions and some interesting remarks, but not necessarily the most important moments of the mission. Because of this they provide an alternate take to a more conventional "full mission" video. They also offer offering some insight into the astronauts and their experiences.
Included highlights:
10. First Lunar Rover Ride; Comments by Scott & Irwin
11. Irwin & Scott Describe Mountains
12. Description of Hadley Rille
13. Irwin Quotes Bible Passage
14. Ascent from Lunar Surface; (Includes Air Force Song)
15. Sub-Satellite Launch Prior to Trans-Earth Injection (TEI)
16. TEI Post-Burn Report
17. Worden Describes Humbolt Area of the Moon (Enroute to Earth)
18. Scott Describes Colors on Moon & Lava Flows (Enroute to Earth)
19. Worden's Trans-Earth EVA
20. In-Flight Press Conference
21. Splashdown
22. Scott's Comments On-Board Recovery Ship
Most of the footage is from Apollo 15, presented in real time. Some segments have 6/12 to 24 frames per second motion interpolation.
When there was no footage from Apollo 15, segments were sourced from other missions or simulated using Orbiter Space Simulator with the AMSO addon.

=========================================
Apollo 15 (July 26, 1971 – August 7, 1971) was the ninth crewed mission in the United States' Apollo program and the fourth to land on the Moon. It was the first J mission, with a longer stay on the Moon and a greater focus on science than earlier landings. Apollo 15 had the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle.
The 1971 mission began on July 26 and ended on August 7, with the lunar surface exploration taking place between July 30 and August 2. Commander David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin landed near Hadley Rille and explored the local area using the rover, allowing them to travel further from the lunar module than had been possible on previous missions. They spent 181⁄2 hours on the Moon's surface on extravehicular activity (EVA), and collected 170 pounds (77 kg) of surface material.
At the same time, Command Module Pilot Alfred Worden orbited the Moon, operating the sensors in the SIM bay of the service module. This suite of instruments collected data on the Moon and its environment using a panoramic camera, a gamma-ray spectrometer, a mapping camera, a laser altimeter, a mass spectrometer, and a lunar subsatellite deployed at the end of the moonwalks. The lunar module returned safely to the command module and, at the end of Apollo 15's 74th lunar orbit the engine was fired for the journey home. During the return trip Worden performed the first spacewalk in deep space. The Apollo 15 mission splashed down safely on August 7 despite the loss of one of its three parachutes.
The mission accomplished its goals but was marred by negative publicity the following year when it emerged that the crew had carried unauthorized postal covers to the lunar surface, some of which were sold by a West German stamp dealer. The members of the crew were reprimanded for poor judgment, and did not fly in space again. The mission also saw the collection of the Genesis Rock, thought to be part of the Moon's early crust, and Scott's use of a hammer and a feather to validate Galileo's theory that when there is no air resistance, objects fall at the same rate due to gravity regardless of their mass.
