A detailed account of every second of the Apollo 15 descent and landing on the plains of Palus Putredinus near Mount Hadley and Hadley Rille. The video includes data from a simulated landing by Niklas Beug to display altitude and pitch angle, and the 16mm film that was shot at 12 frames per second during the approach and terminal phases of the descent.
