  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="TextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US" data-contrast="none"&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt;This map shows the regional setting of the landing site for the Apollo 15 mission. The area lies approximately 650 km southeast of the center of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt;Imbrium&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt; basin, a large basalt-filled multi-ringed structure in the northwest quadrant of the Moon’s near side. Several arcuate structures surround the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt;Imbrium&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt; basin (Hartmann and Kuiper, 1962). The most prominent of these forms the northwest-facing scarp of the Apennine Mountains that crosses the area from NNE to SSW. The scarp is a major structural boundary separating mostly basin-fill&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt; deposits to the northwest from either basin-synchronous or pre-basin deposits to the southeast. Of special interest is Rima Hadley, one of the widest and freshest appearing sinuous &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="SpellingError SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt;rilles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt; on the Moon. It cuts through the mare surface to a maximum depth of about 400 meters and may expose in its walls a substantial section of the post-basin basalt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt;Rimae&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="SpellingError SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt;Fresnal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt; and Rima Bradley are typical linear &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="SpellingError SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt;rilles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW113524156 BCX8"&gt; older than Rima Hadley and do not cut mare materials. This area was previously mapped geologically at the 1:1,000,000-scale by Hackman (1966) from telescopic data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="EOP SCXW113524156 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{&amp;quot;134233117&amp;quot;:true,&amp;quot;134233118&amp;quot;:true,&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559739&amp;quot;:160,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:240}"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
