Telescopic studies in the early 1960's pinpointed the future Apollo 15 landing site as a potential exploration site because it included one of the largest lunar sinuous rilles, Rima Hadley, and some of the highest mountains, Montes Apenninus. Additional targets were identified once Apennine-Hadley emerged as a potential landing site. Site selection processes were discussed.
