:: Apollo 15 :: - The hammer and feather experiment


Description

Astronaut David R. Scott, Apollo 15 commander, watches a geological hammer and a feather hit the lunar surface simultaneously in a test of Galileo's law of motion concerning falling bodies, as seen in this colour reproduction taken from a transmission made by the RCA colour television camera mounted on the Lunar Roving Vehicle.

Scott released the hammer from his right hand and the feather from his left at the same instant. This experiment occurred toward the end of the third and final lunar surface extravehicular activity.
