What brand of drill was used to dig moon samples in the Apollo 15 mission in 1971?
Black & Decker. “1972 – The Apollo XV astronauts used a Black & Decker cordless tool, The Apollo Lunar Surface Drill, to remove core samples from the moons surface during the Apollo 15, 16 & 17 missions.” http://www.blackanddecker.co.nz/about/history/ Disclaimer: Black & Decker’s site erroneously puts Apollo 15, 16, and 17 in the same year. I’ve found internet dates starting with 1968, so the question here wasn’t exactly when, but what brand. The correct years are 1971, 1972, and 1972.
