UNCLASSIFIED iii SECURITY CLASSIFICATION The material contained herein has been transcribed into a working paper in order to facilitate review by interested NSC elements. This doclment, or por- tions thereof, may be declassified subject to the following guidelines: Portions of this document will be classified CONFIDENTIAL, Group 4, to the extent that they: (1) define quantitative performance characteristics of the Apollo Spacecraft, (2) detail critical per- formance characteristics of Apollo crew systems and equipment, (3) provide technical details of signifi- cant launch vehicle malfunctions in actual flight orreveal actual launch trajectory data, (4) reveal medical data on flight crew members which can be considered privileged data, or (5) reveal other data which can be individumlly determined to require classification under the authority of the Apollo Pro- gram Security Classification Guide, SCC--11, Rev. l, 1/1/66. UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED v INTRODUCTION This document is the transcription of the Apollo 16 flight crew communications as recorded on the c_mmand module (CM) data storage equip- ment (DSE) and subsequently transmitted (dumped) to M_nned Space Flight Network stations. Magnetic tapes containing dumped voice and onboard- recorded Apollo elapsed time (AET) were forwarded to the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas. Transcription of these tapes was managed by James L. Gibbons, Test Division, Apollo Spacecraft Program Office, to whom inquiries regarding this document should be referred. The transcript is divided into three columns --time, speaker, and text. The time column consists of four two-digit pairs representing days, hours, minutes, and seconds (e.g., 0_ 22 3_ l_). The speaker column indicates the source of a transmission; the text column contains the verbatim transcript of the co--mmications. The time used by Mission Control Center (NCC) and indicated as ground elapsed time (GET) in the Flight Plan may be updated to the space- craft and MCC computers and to the telemetry down-link pulse-code- modulated bitstream or other time-recording devices. This GET updating will be performed only to correct significant changes in Flight Plan time occurring as the result of delayed lift-off, midcourse corrections, or spacecraft burn-time differences (trajectory dispersions). Should these updates occur, the AET (the true mission-elapsed time) m,y not agree with Flight Plan and MCC times. Users of this transcript are cautioned to apply the appropriate time-update deltas for the updated periods. Speakers in the transcript are identified as follows: Spacecraft: CDR Commander John W. Yo,mg CMP Command module pilot Thomas K. (Ken) Mattingly II _' LMP Lunar module pilot 'Charles (Charlie) M. Duke, Jr. SC Unidentifiable crewmember MS Multiple speakers UNCLASSIFIED vi UN.CLASSIFIED Mission Control Centers: CC Capsule communicator (CAP COMM) LCC Launch control center In the text, a series of three dots (...) is used to designate those portions of the comm,mications that could not be transcribed because of garbling. One dash (-) is used to indicate a speaker's pause or a self- interruption. Two dashes (- -) are used to indicate an interruption by another speaker or a point at which a recording was abruptly terminated. Words given unusual emphasis by the speaker are underlined. The Apollo 16 mission was flown April 16 to 28, 1972; lift-off oc- curred at 17:54:00.57 G.m.t. (12:54:00.57 p.m.e.s.t.) on April 16. The CM was designated Casper and the lunar module was called Orion.

    E HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 INTERIM REPORT NO. 2 on e NGR 22-007-194 LUNAR NOMENCLATURE Donald H. Menzel, Principal Investigator to c National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Scientific and Technical Information (Code US) Washington, D. C. 20546 17 August 1970 e This is the second of three reports to be submitted to NASA under Grant NGR 22-007-194, concerned with the assignment I of names to craters on the far-side of the Moon. As noted in the first report to NASA under the subject grant, the Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature (of Commission 17 of the International Astronomical Union, IAU) originally assigned the selected names to features on the far-side of the Moon in a . semi-alphabetic arrangement. This plan was criticized, however, by lunar cartographers as (1) unesthetic, and as (2) offering a practical danger of confusion between similar nearby names, par- ticularly in oral usage by those using the maps in lunar exploration. At its meeting in Paris on June 20 --et seq., the Working Group accepted the possible validity of the second criticism above and reassigned the names in a more or less random order, as preferred by the cartographers. They also deleted from the original list, submitted in the first report to NASA under the subject grant, several names that too closely resembled others for convenient oral usage. The Introduction to the attached booklet briefly reviews the solutions reached by the Working Group to this and several other remaining problems, including that of naming lunar features for living astronauts.

A 1978 survey of faculty suggested the need fora single volume that united introductory material on the various social science disciplines and the classroom experience of faculty already teaching in the field. This volume is the response to that need. It focuses primarily on the space shuttle era (1980s and 1990s) and is divided into four parts. Chapter one outlines characteristics and attributes of the shuttle and the technologies scheduled for transport to orbit. Chapter two is organized into sections representing seven disciplines (economics, history, international law and relations, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology) which allow faculty to relatea specific discipline to space technology and to adapt space-related issues to the teaching of that discipline. Chapter three presents materials for teaching interdisciplinary courses and topics, including observations from instructors who have offered such courses, and insights from faculty who have analyzed space technologies in debate format.

This has traditionally been done by visual inspection of images, thus limiting the scope, efficiency, and/or accuracy of retrieval. In this paper we demonstrate the viability of using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to determine the positions and sizes of craters from Lunar digital elevation maps (DEMs).
