Whereas the Apollo 11 crew only had up to 150 minutes during their single EVA, the Apollo 12 crew more than tripled that amount over two Moonwalks, which included a visit to the Surveyor craft. In terms of photography, almost four-times as many photos were taken compared to its predecessor, with a similar proportion being used for panoramas.
In terms of photography, Apollo 14's crew proved to be less "trigger-happy" than the preceding Apollo 12 crew and only took 417 pictures on the Moon, compared to 583 on the earlier mission. However, 288 of these were components of 17 distinct panoramas and ALSJ lists another 25 sub-panoramas within these.
Apollo 16 was the second of Apollo's "J Missions [2]" using an enhanced Lunar Module that was capable of supporting a 3-day stay on the lunar surface *and* the delivery of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV or "Rover") to the surface to allow the crew to extend the range of their exploration and to provide remote TV coverage.
Apollo 15 was the first of the Apollo program's "J" Missions [2] which used an enhanced Lunar Module that was capable of supporting a 3-day stay on the lunar surface *and* the delivery of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV or "Rover") to the surface to allow the crew to extend the range of their exploration and to provide remote TV coverage.
The primary purpose of taking the panoramic images was to provide the context, or placement, of the activities taken during the EVA. The initial analysis was presented in the Apollo 11 Preliminary Science Report [15] that was released in October 1969 - just over 3 months after the mission. By 2009/2010, digital technologies had emerged that ...
