The 29 analyses yielded 207Pb/206Pb dates of 3722 ± 11 Ma for sample 10044, 3772 ± 9 Ma for 30 sample 75055 and 3739 ± 10 Ma for sample 74255, at 95% confidence level. These dates are 31 consistent with previously determined crystallization and emplacement ages of these samples 32 using different radiogenic systems. These high-precision ages allow refinement of the timing 33 of some of the high-Ti basaltic volcanism on the Moon. Crystallization ages of three different 34 high-Ti basalt units, integrating these new Pb/Pb ages with previous Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd age 35 determinations, are consistent with previous estimates but associated with uncertainties 3 to 5 36 times lower. In addition, the data obtained in this study confirm that tranquillityite contains 37 very low amounts of initial common Pb and has a high Pb ionization efficiency, making it an 38 excellent candidate for Pb/Pb dating by ion microprobe.

  • The Moon After Apollo
    ICARUS 25, 495-537 (1975) The Moon after Apollo PAROUK EL-BAZ National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.G- 20560 Received September 17, 1974 The Apollo missions have gradually increased our knowledge of the Moon's chemistry, age, and mode of formation of its surface features and materials. Apollo 11 and 12 landings proved that mare materials are volcanic rocks that were derived from deep-seated basaltic melts about 3.7 and 3.2 billion years ago, respec- tively. Later missions provided additional information on lunar mare basalts as well as the older, anorthositic, highland rocks. Data on the chemical make-up of returned samples were extended to larger areas of the Moon by orbiting geo- chemical experiments. These have also mapped inhomogeneities in lunar surface chemistry, including radioactive anomalies on both the near and far sides. Lunar samples and photographs indicate that the moon is a well-preserved museum of ancient impact scars. The crust of the Moon, which was formed about 4.6 billion years ago, was subjected to intensive metamorphism by large impacts. Although bombardment continues to the present day, the rate and size of impact- ing bodies were much greater in the first 0.7 billion years of the Moon's history. The last of the large, circular, multiringed basins occurred about 3.9 billion years ago. These basins, many of which show positive gravity anomalies (mascons), were flooded by volcanic basalts during a period of at least 600 million years. In addition to filling the circular basins, more so on the near side than on the far side, the basalts also covered lowlands and circum-basin troughs.

  • Field Trials of a Prototype Lunar Rover Under Multi-Sensor Safeguarded Teloperation Control
    In Proc Seventh- ANS- Topical Meeting on lC.,a# -* 7='- v I GA Field Trials of a Prototype Lunar Rover under Multi-Sensor Safeguarded Teleoperation Control E. Krotkov, M. Hebert, L. Henriksen, P. Levin, M. Maimone, R. Simmons, and J. Teza Robotics Institute, School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 152 13 Abstract - This paper presents the results of field trials of a prototype lunar rover traveling over natural terrain under safe- guarded teleoperation control. Both the rover and the safeguard- ing approach have been used in previous work. The original contributions of this paper are the development and integration of a laser sensing system, and extensive field testing of the overall system. The laser system, which complements an existing stereo vision system, is based on a line-scanning laser ranger viewing the area 1 meter in front of the rover. The laser system has demon- strated excellent performance: zero misses and few false alarms operating at 4 Hz. The overall safeguarding system guided the rover 43 km over lunar analogue terrain with 0.8 failures per kilo- meter. 1 Introduction The hazard detection system described in this paper has been developed under CMU's Lunar Rover Initiative, whose goal is to develop and demonstrate techniques enabling plane- tary rover missions. The initiative has targeted a mission to land two rovers on the surface of the Moon, where they will navigate semi-autonomously for 1,OOO km, visiting historic sites and places of geological interest (Krotkov 1994). For such a mission, a spectrum of navigation modes are applicable.

  • Science Concept 3: Key Planetary
    Science Concept 6: The Moon is an Accessible Laboratory for Studying the Impact Process on Planetary Scales Science Concept 6: The Moon is an accessible laboratory for studying the impact process on planetary scales Science Goals: a. Characterize the existence and extent of melt sheet differentiation. b. Determine the structure of multi-ring impact basins. c. Quantify the effects of planetary characteristics (composition, density, impact velocities) on crater formation and morphology. d. Measure the extent of lateral and vertical mixing of local and ejecta material. INTRODUCTION Impact cratering is a fundamental geological process which is ubiquitous throughout the Solar System. Impacts have been linked with the formation of bodies (e.g. the Moon; Hartmann and Davis, 1975), terrestrial mass extinctions (e.g. the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary extinction; Alvarez et al., 1980), and even proposed as a transfer mechanism for life between planetary bodies (Chyba et al., 1994). However, the importance of impacts and impact cratering has only been realized within the last 50 or so years. Here we briefly introduce the topic of impact cratering. The main crater types and their features are outlined as well as their formation mechanisms. Scaling laws, which attempt to link impacts at a variety of scales, are also introduced. Finally, we note the lack of extraterrestrial crater samples and how Science Concept 6 addresses this. Crater Types There are three distinct crater types: simple craters, complex craters, and multi-ring basins (Fig. 6.1). The type of crater produced in an impact is dependent upon the size, density, and speed of the impactor, as well as the strength and gravitational field of the target.
