More Information
The fourth American space mission to land on the Moon was Apollo 15 and it was conducted from 26 July to 7 August 1971 after a Saturn V rocket blasted the spacecraft into orbit. NASA described the mission as the "most successful manned flight" up till that point. This was because Apollo 15 was the first of what are described as "J missions". A "J mission" was one that permitted a longer stay on the Moon's surface to allow more intensive scientific experimentation and exploration.
