Landing on the moon in a hilly area near Mount Hadley, surveying the area known as Hadley Rille, collecting moon samples and performing all kinds of experiments.
First mission to be using the Lunar Roving Vehicle, or Lunar Rover, enabling the astronauts to travel greater distances than before.
The main accomplishment was finding a type of rock that should have explained how the moon was formed. The rock they found was anorthosite and was dubbed the "Genesis"-rock. Eventually it turned out to be less old than first thought, but still very old (4.5 billion years)
Apollo 15 was the fourth crewed mission to land on the Moon. It was the first to use the Lunar Roving Vehicle, allowing astronauts to explore further from the landing site. The mission conducted scientific experiments and collected valuable samples, enhancing our understanding of the Moon's geology.
