SPACE ART: Apollo 10 LM Descending to 50,000 ft
(Above) This painting is a North American Rockwell artist’s concept depicting the Apollo 10 Lunar Module descending to 50,000 ft for a close look at a lunar landing site.
The Command and Service modules remain in lunar orbit. The landing area is Site 2 on the east central part of the moon in southwestern Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis). The site is about 62 miles east of the rim of the crater Sabine and 118 miles west-southwest of the crater Maskelyne.
