The Apollo 14 Lunar Module Antares landed on February 5, 1971, in the Fra Mauro region. This formation forms a broad belt surrounding Mare Imbrium and is believed to be material that was excavated by a large impact that formed the Imbrium basin. The model measures 0.6 x 1.2 meters, with a scale of 1:1500, so 1 cm is 15 meters in the terrain, extending from the LM to the Cone Crater.
The Taurus-Littrow model is on a scale of 1:20000, or 1 cm in the model is 200 meters on the moon. The model is 1.2 x 1.2 meters and covers a lunar area of 24 x 24 kilometers. The background picture is the Sculptured Hills and North Massif seen from behind Family Mountain. Marker pins in the landscape show where the astronauts took samples of the surface.
The model of the landing area in the Descartes Highlands is on a scale of 1:10000, or 1 cm in the model is 100 meters on the moon. The model is 1.2 x 1.2 meters and covers a lunar area of 12 x 12 kilometers. Marker pins in the landscape show the stations during the three EVA's over three days.
The model of the Hadley Rille /Apennine Mountains is on a scale of 1:50000, or 1 cm in the model is 500 meters on the moon. The model is 1.2 x 1.2 meters and covers a lunar area of 60 x 60 kilometers. Marker pins in the landscape show the stations during the three EVA's over three days. The Rille is about 1500 meters wide and 300 meters deep, and it is an old, collapsed lava tube.
This model is with the LM Eagle, and measures 1.2 x 0.6 meters, and covers from the TV camera and to the seismomenter, about 60 x 30 meters.
