- Although there seems to be nothing in the LPI's list of orbital Apollo photographs of Joy (and/or Hadley A), this little crater WAS frequently photographed during the mission of Apollo 15 in july 1971! - DannyCaes Jul 29, 2010
- Orbital panoramic ITEK-camera frames AS15-P-9362 and AS15-P-9367 show Joy and also the curious craterlet on top of the hillock east of Joy itself. To see Joy and the small craterlet on top of the hillock nearby: scroll a little bit to the right.
- Orbital mapping/metric Fairchild-camera photograph AS15-M-1535 shows Joy very near the frame's left margin (to the right of the small black triangle at the extreme left of the frame).
- The Arizona State University's (ASU's) zoom-able scan of the same photograph (AS15-M-1535) shows Joy near the lower margin of the frame. Explore the small sharp looking pit on top of the hillock east of Joy!
