When missions headed to the moon from 1969 to 1972, their vessels were packed with items for research, survival, safety, and emergency. Some of these items were meant to be left behind and some were to return to Earth. Learn how to transcribe these Apollo Stowage lists and help researchers better understand the details of the lunar missions. **NOTE** You will not transcribe data into the Change Date and Change Reason fields in this project; leave these fields blank. Please carefully transcribe the Item Number (Item #) format, including adding 0 or 00 when necessary.

Apollo 15 was the first mission to carry a lunar rover, as well as a battery of new instruments for science in lunar orbit. Launched July 26, 1971, this twelve-day flight was piloted by David Scott, Alfred Worden and James Irwin.
NASA made major spacecraft modifications to carry a scientific instrument bay in the service module, to place a greater payload on the lunar surface, to stay longer, and to carry a rover. The astronauts landed on a dramatic and scientifically important site near the foot of mountains and not far from a deep volcanic valley.
