ABSTRACT

A hypothetical 14-day lunar surface mission is proposed for two astron~tits to investigate the lull,ar terrain and larger features about a preseiected landing site. Becau~e the Surveyor I spacecraft soft­ landed in the Flams-t~ed Cr~ter r'eglon and demonstrated that a,n up.manped spacecraft can safely Land in thi.s particular area, this site' will, for pul;'.poses of this paper, be c9p$ide:J;"ed a suitable site in which to carry out a proposed scient'ific exploration mission. The pl;'oposed mi~sioil will be· supp_orted by a lupa,r shelter (to be' ia,nded up tq six months before the 'manned' landing) which will serve both as a shelter and a cottnnunica­ tions center wit:h t.he earth. A smail rovtng veQ.:icle will be usE!d for m,armed trave.rses within a radius of. eigh~ ki-lometer~ abol1t th~ shelter, and a, flying vepich~ will be. us.ed for f1 ights up to 30 kilomet.ers away. scientific instrumerttat:i.on will be provided for experiments in several disciplin~s. ·The g~plogical and geophysical investigations :i-nclude (1) sample collection, seismic, IIIC!-gnetic, and gra:v'ity surveys' and long- tel:-~ tic;J.al and. quake measurements and (2) measureft1ents of ra~iation, temperature, micronieteoroid flux, etc. An engineering investigation on the S1,1rveyor I spacecrl:ift and its components will also be conducted.
