Additional Information


Apollo 15's CSM Endeavour over Taruntius and Asada

  • The southern part of this region was frequently photographed during most of the Apollo missions. Especially during the docking sequence of Apollo 15's Command/Service Module (Endeavour) with the Lunar Module (Falcon). Several books on manned spaceflight show mostly one of the well-known orbital photographs of the exposed SIM-bay in Apollo 15's CSM Endeavour with crater Taruntius and the moon's curved horizon in the background. One of those photographs (AS15-88-11972) shows CSM Endeavour "between" craters Taruntius (the "half" crater at the left margin) and the bright bowl-shaped crater Asada (slightly below the photograph's centre, "right" of Endeavour). Take also a look at the lower part of Apollo 15's Hasselblad Magazine 88/TT. Research: Danny Caes.


Mount Marilyn

  • One of the most recognizeable surface formations which received an unofficial name by one of NASA's Apollo astronauts is the triangle-shaped "peninsula" in the lower left corner of this map. Astronaut James Lovell (Apollo 8/ Apollo 13) called it Mount Marilyn, after his wife. See also page Montes Secchi (Nomenclature).- DannyCaes DannyCaes Nov 20, 2008
