Apollo 15

Apollo 15 was a lunar mission launched by NASA on July 26, 1971. It landed on the Moon on August 7,[1] and was crewed by James Irwin,[2] David Scott,[3] and Alfred Worden.[4]

On the return trip, one of the three main parachutes failed, forcing the spacecraft to make a splashdown, reminiscent of Apollo 13's splashdown in 1970.
