A detailed account of every second of the Apollo 12 descent and landing on Oceanus Procellarum in the Moon's western hemisphere. The video combines data from the Lunar Module's onboard computer for altitude and pitch angle, with 16mm film that was shot at 12 frames per second during the approach and terminal phases of the descent. The audio recording of the air/ground communication has been subtitled to aid comprehension. This video is part of the Apollo Flight Journal, Apollo 12 collection.
