Ground station areas of coverage are the near circular features surrounding each site. SIGNED and INSCRIBED: "Dave SCOTT, CDR." 2. Apollo Lunar Flight Chart (ALF), Apollo Mission 15, July 26, 1971 Launch Date. 2 June 1971. First Edition. Color Lunar Map, 12 by 36 inches. Plots the ground track spread between the first and 74th lunar orbit and the maximum viewable limits to the horizon. Larger craters and mare are identified.

An internal NASA chart with only a small identifier label of “NASA-MSC.” 22 by 17 inches. Hand drawn contour lines mark every 10 meters of elevation. The low sun angle produces dark shadowing of Hadley Rille and surrounding craters. This sun angle was very close to the exact conditions Dave Scott and Jim Irwin had during their lunar landing phase on Apollo 15.
