NASA Langley has a new poster commemorating the 40th anniversary of humankind’s first steps on the moon (the first that we know about, anyway!).
The poster is the creation of Langley’s Stan Husch and Meghan Guethe, with help from Elaine Gause and Tim Allen.
The details
Top left: Rendezvous Docking Simulator at NASA Langley taken 12/2/64. Image # EL-2001-00448.
Top right: multiple exposure of a simulated landing of the Lunar Lander trainer at Langley’s Lunar Landing Research Facility. Image # L-1967-03177, taken 4/11/67.
Main image: astronaut David R. Scott, commander, gives a military salute while standing beside the deployed U.S. flag during the Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The flag was deployed toward the end of EVA-2.
The Lunar Module “Falcon” is partially visible on the right. Hadley Delta in the background rises approximately 4,000 meters (about 13,124 feet) above the plain. The base of the mountain is approximately five kilometers (about three statute miles) away. Photo by astronaut James B. Irwin, Lunar Module pilot. Image # AS15-88-11863 taken 8/1/71.
