Before today, I had never heard of the engine bell impact or noticed the damage caused by the higher terrain. This LM touched down at approximately twice the regular descent rate. If you look closely at the Apollo 15 engine bell you can make out some of the impact damage caused by it striking the regolith. Thx Danny! Do list for this summer has N.1 - invastigate all the Apollos ! )Ħ. Weaver, in the National Geographic of February 1972 (this is a splendid article on Apollo 15! Lots of orbital and surface photographs in it! And also some of Apollo 15's pans assembled "the old fashioned way").ĥ. Aleksander, Apollo 15's tilted LM Falcon was also called " The leaning tower of Pisa"! (mentioned in the article To The Mountains of the Moon by Kenneth F. The software - Zoomify - that LPI have used here is also very good, so a credit and mention to them, too. Yeah.a credit to LPI for this wonderful series of panoramas that brings the user into places one just wants to investigate more. I didn't know about Apollo 15 tilt! I like it when I learn something new :)ģ. Superb!!! Thanks LPI and Chuck! Let's explore!Ģ. Once you don't see a "Protected" icon, please click here and enter your comment in the space below.

This is a nice job of digitizing and mosaicking by the folks at the Information Resources Directorate at Johnson Space Center. Each of the pans can be enlarged and you can pan across the pans. The top Apollo 15 pan dramatically shows the tilt of the Lunar Module lander - it came down on the rim of a small crater with one of the lander's legs inside the crater. All of the pans were assembled from newly digitized images of the Hasselblad camera photographs taken on the surface. The illustration here shows thumbnails of six of the 22 panoramas now available at the LPI site. The Lunar and Planetary Institute has just added new resources to their Lunar Science & Exploration web portal. The hosting is on Linux and uses version 86.0 build 30.Apollo panoramas re-assembled and available at Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, TX Please keep that in mind when you answer. I'm a basic programmer and not a systems person. I'm assuming that there is some reason why with C-Panel there is this Firefox problem, but not with Chrome and not with the non-C-Panel hosting that I replaced. No improvement.Ĭan you give me any help? What should I be looking at? I've done basic things like clearing cookies and cache. I get a message "web page is slowing down browser." The map is never displayed. But with Firefox the underlying "skin" displays, but the map itself is not displayed. With the new hosting service my maps display, pan and zoom fine with Chrome. They also work perfectly with my old hosting service. I can zoom and pan as they are intended to. The maps display perfectly on my desktop computer when I test them. I'm sorry but I can't really explain how Zoomify works, but it does involve running a viewer and scripts. I had an old web hosting service from GoDaddy and was told that they would be discontinuing that service so I purchased an updated hosting service that uses C-Panel.
