The Apollo 15 lunar module (LM) “Falcon” was the fourth crewed vehicle to land on the Moon. It carried two astronauts, Commander David R. Scott and LM pilot James B. Irwin, the seventh and eighth men to walk on the Moon. The LM also carried a Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), an Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) that contained scientific experiments to be deployed and left on the lunar surface, and other scientific and sample collection apparatus. The experiments performed on the Moon, in addition to the ALSEP suite, were geologic sample collection, surface photography, soil mechanics investigations to study physical properties of the lunar regolith, and the solar wind composition experiment which collected samples of solar wind particles for return to Earth.

Although blatantly not to scale, I wanted to include a suggestion of the distinctively hilly Swann Range that bordered Falcon’s Hadley–Apennine landing site.

The LRV design is adapted from one by DamoB (DamoB’s Lunar Rover).

Part count: 173 bricks, 80 lots.
