    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.

The principal point of this program was a detailed scientific analysis of the orbital and surface experiments data derived from Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17. One of the requirements of this program was the production of detailed photo base maps at a useable scale. NASA in conjunction with the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) commenced a mapping program in early 1973 that would lead to the production of the necessary maps based on the need for certain areas. This paper is designed to present in outline form the neces- sary background informatiox or users to become familiar with the program. MAP FORMAT * The scale chosen for the project was 1:250,000 . The re- search being done required a scale that Principal Investigators (PI'S) using orbital photography could use, but would also serve PI'S doing surface photographic investigations. Each map sheet covers an area four degrees north/south by five degrees east/west.

Lunar and Martian Paleontology by Douglas D. Shull 20 Feb 2001 for 2001 Space Congress Introduction The discovery of organic material imbedded in the Martian Meteorite Alan Hills (AH) 84001 in 1996 changed science. Many people now consider the possibility that microbial life existed on or may still exist on the planet Mars. NASA, The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the European Space Agency (ESA) are considering packages and experiments for future Mars robotic missions to detect the presence of microbial life near the surface of Mars. We should pursue these worthy efforts. However, the surfaces of Mars and the Moon may very well hold evidence of life, both microbial and macroscopic, from Earth’s past. I will discuss how past meteor strikes causing large extinction events can positively affect today’s science. Understanding Meteors and Meteor Impacts The history of knowledge about meteors has undergone quite a change in the last few decades.

  • Species Report for Leona's Little Blue Butterfly (Philotiella Leona)
    Species Report for Leona’s Little Blue Butterfly (Philotiella leona) Photo credit: Sarina Jepsen; The Xerces Society U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service May 20, 2015 Species Report for Leona’s Little Blue Butterfly (Philotiella leona) Purpose The purpose of this species report is to provide the best available scientific and commercial information about Leona’s little blue (Philotiella leona) and its habitat. The information within this report will be part of our biological basis for any potential listing, recovery, or consultation recommendations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 as amended (Act), (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Executive Summary On May 12, 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (Service) received a petition from the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, Dr. David McCorkle of Western Oregon University, and Oregon Wild to list the Leona’s little blue butterfly under the Act. On August 17, 2011, the Service published in the Federal Register a positive 90-day finding stating that the petition presented substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing the Leona’s little blue butterfly may be warranted (76 FR 50971). As a result, we are initiating a status review of the species to determine if Leona’s little blue butterfly is warranted for listing under the Act. The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and Oregon Wild filed a notice of intent to sue on March 7, 2013, for failure to issue a 12-month finding on whether listing the Leona’s little blue butterfly is warranted under the Act. On July 31, 2014, the court ordered the Service to issue a 12-month finding for the Leona’s little blue butterfly by June 30, 2015.

  • Scientific Exploration of the Moon
    Scientific Exploration of the Moon DR FAROUK EL-BAZ Research Director, Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA The exploration of the Moon has involved a highly successful interdisciplinary approach to solving a number of scientific problems. It has required the interactions of astronomers to classify surface features; cartographers to map interesting areas; geologists to unravel the history of the lunar crust; geochemists to decipher its chemical makeup; geophysicists to establish its structure; physicists to study the environment; and mathematicians to work with engineers on optimizing the delivery to and from the Moon of exploration tools. Although, to date, the harvest of lunar science has not answered all the questions posed, it has already given us a much better understanding of the Moon and its history. Additionally, the lessons learned from this endeavor have been applied successfully to planetary missions. The scientific exploration of the Moon has not ended; it continues to this day and plans are being formulated for future lunar missions. The exploration of the Moon undoubtedly started Moon, and Luna 3 provided the first glimpse of the with the naked eye at the dawn of history,1 when lunar far side. After these significant steps, the mankind hunted in the wilderness and settled the American space program began its contribution to earliest farms. Our knowledge of the Moon took a lunar exploration with the Ranger hard landers' quantum jump when Galileo Galilei trained his from 1964 to 1965. These missions provided us with telescope toward it. Since then, generations of the first close-up views (nearly 0.3 m resolution) of researchers have followed suit utilizing successively the lunar surface by transmitting pictures until just more complex instruments." The most significant before crashing.6 The pictures confirmed that the quantum jump in the knowledge of our only natural lunar dark areas, the maria, were relatively flat and satellite came with the advent of the space age, topographically simple.
