Index of 70mm Photographs
INTRODUCTION
All Apollo 15 70mm photographs to which NASA photo numbers have
been assigned are described in this index. In the first section
all photographs are listed in sequence by NASA photo numbers. In
subsequent sections, lunar surface and lunar orbital photographs
are cross-indexed.
Lunar surface photographs are listed in chronological order
within the following categories: SEVA and LM window photos (LM
window photos were taken before, between, and after EVA's), EVA
1, EVA 2, and EVA 3. Photographs of the lunar surface taken while
in lunar orbit are cross-indexed by longitude in 10° increments,
starting with the easternmost (farside) photos, and progressing
to the westernmost (nearside) photos. Within each 10° interval of
longitude, photographs are listed sequentially by NASA photo
number, not by specific longitude of the principal point of each
photograph.
Figure 1 gives the location of the larger lunar surface
features near the landing site and includes the unofficial names
of the features used by the astronauts and in this index. Figure 2
shows the EVA 1, 2, and 3 traverses, the stations from which photo
panoramas were taken, and the unofficial names of local features
used in this index.

A 1:7,500,000 scale map index of all Apollo 15 photographs of
the lunar surface from lunar orbit has been prepared and may be
used in conjunction with this tabular index.
