  • USGS Astrogeology Science Center 50 Years of Surveying the Solar System
    USGS Astrogeology Science Center 50 Years of Surveying the Solar System — Laszlo Kestay, USGS Astrogeology Science Center Note from the Editors: This issue’s lead article is the first in a series of reports describing the history and current activities of NASA’s planetary research facilities located nationwide. We begin this series with a report on the USGS Astrogeology Science Center in Flagstaff, Arizona, where lunar astronauts were trained and the planets are mapped, and which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Enjoy! — Paul Schenk and Renée Dotson L This year marks the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Science Center in Flagstaff, Arizona. The primary aim of “Astrogeology” has consistently been to support the U.S. space program with the scientific and cartographic expertise of the USGS. Through this center, the USGS has been involved in every human and nearly every robotic mission to an extraterrestrial solid surface in P our solar system. On September 18, 1961, Eugene “Gene” Shoemaker persuaded the USGS to set up the “Astrogeologic Studies Unit” in Menlo Park, California. While the field would later be known as “planetary science,” Shoemaker’s intention was to focus on the geology to be done by astronauts on the Moon and elsewhere. In 1963, the “unit” was upgraded I to a “Branch” and moved to Flagstaff, Arizona, to be closer to superb analogs for Photograph of Gene Shoemaker instructing Apollo astronauts extraterrestrial studies such as the Grand in the formation of impact craters and field geology techniques Canyon, San Francisco Volcanic Field, and at Barringer (Meteor) Crater.
