The objective was to establish an initial EVA traverse plan for a hypothetical, manned mission to the Apollo 15 region and then to identify where ground-level data (e.g., collected by robotic recon) would help refine the plan. The planning for this mission, which we named “Apollo 15B”, focused on Hadley Rille near Hadley C, and the ejecta blanket from Hadley C that is deposited on to Hadley Rille.

  • Water on the Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity
    Water on The Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity Arlin Crotts (Columbia University) For centuries some scientists have argued that there is activity on the Moon (or water, as recounted in Parts I & II), while others have thought the Moon is simply a dead, inactive world. [1] The question comes in several forms: is there a detectable atmosphere? Does the surface of the Moon change? What causes interior seismic activity? From a more modern viewpoint, we now know that as much carbon monoxide as water was excavated during the LCROSS impact, as detailed in Part I, and a comparable amount of other volatiles were found. At one time the Moon outgassed prodigious amounts of water and hydrogen in volcanic fire fountains, but released similar amounts of volatile sulfur (or SO2), and presumably large amounts of carbon dioxide or monoxide, if theory is to be believed. So water on the Moon is associated with other gases. Astronomers have agreed for centuries that there is no firm evidence for “weather” on the Moon visible from Earth, and little evidence of thick atmosphere. [2] How would one detect the Moon’s atmosphere from Earth? An obvious means is atmospheric refraction. As you watch the Sun set, its image is displaced by Earth’s atmospheric refraction at the horizon from the position it would have if there were no atmosphere, by roughly 0.6 degree (a bit more than the Sun’s angular diameter). On the Moon, any atmosphere would cause an analogous effect for a star passing behind the Moon during an occultation (multiplied by two since the light travels both into and out of the lunar atmosphere).

  • Apollo 15 Mission
    THE APOLLO 15 MISSION On July 30, 1971, the Apollo 15 lunar module Falcon, descending over the 4,000 meter Apennine Mountain front, landed at one of the most geologically diverse sites selected in the Apollo program, the Hadley-Apennine region. Astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin brought the spacecraft onto a mare plain just inside the most prominent mountain ring structure of the Imbrium basin, the Montes Apennines chain which marks its southeastern topographic rim, and close to the sinuous Hadley Rille (Fig. 1). The main objectives of the mission were to investigate and sample materials of the Apennine Front itself (expected to be Imbrium ejecta and pre-Imbrium materials), of Hadley Rille, and of the mare lavas of Palus Putredinis (Fig. 2). A package of seven surface experiments, including heat flow and passive seismic, was also set up and 1152 surface photographs were taken. A television camera, data acquisition (sequence) camera, and orbital photography and chemical data provided more information. The Apollo 15 mission was the first devoted almost entirely to science, and the first to use a Rover vehicle which considerably extended the length of the traverses, from a total of 3.5 km on Apollo 14 to 25.3 km during three separate traverses on Apollo 15 (Fig. 3). The collected sample mass was almost doubled, from 43 kg on Apollo 14 to 78 kg on Apollo 15. A reduction in the planned traverse length was made necessary, in part by unexpected and time-consuming difficulties in the collection of the deep core sample (at the experiments package area).

This analysis provides the parameter values for the array tilt angle and shadow mark angle, each of which are necessary to properly align the experiment on the lunar surface. These parameters are used to set the sun­ compass plate angle, the leveling leg stop and leg length and the suncompass shadow mark settings.

  • Space Day: Prospecting for Knowledge
    Space Day: Prospecting for Knowledge 14-Lunar Landform Identification – Teacher Page Purpose: To identify landforms on the surface of the Moon using orbital, Apollo spacecraft photographs. Background: Taking a good, close look at the Moon with the naked eye, through binoculars or a telescope can set the stage for a fascinating exploration of our nearest neighbor in space. Bright areas and streaks, dark areas, and circular features can be discerned easily. Photographs taken from lunar orbit give us even closer looks at the Moon's surface. The fun part is knowing what you're looking at and that's what this activity is all about. Students will need to know the following vocabulary of landforms on the Moon: Highlands - bright, extensively cratered areas of igneous rocks rich in the mineral plagioclase and breccias (rocks actually made of broken pieces of many rocks smashed back together again). Maria - dark areas covered by lavas of the volcanic rock type called basalt. Impact crater - roughly circular hole created when something struck the surface. Terraced crater walls - steep walls of an impact crater with stair steps created by slumping due to gravity and landslides. Central crater uplift - mountain in the center of large (>40 kilometer diameter) impact craters. Crater ejecta - material thrown out from and deposited around an impact crater. Ray - bright streak of material blasted out from an impact crater. Multi-ringed basin - huge impact crater surrounded by circular mountain chains. Lava flow - a break out of magma from underground onto the surface. Rille - channel in lunar maria formed as an open lava channel aor a collapsed lava tube.
