The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, working with members of the scientific community, has determined that early manned lunar exploration will be oriented primarily to investigations in the geosciences. Exploration by man on the lunar surface will, therefore be geological, geophysical, geochemical, geochemical, and surveying in nature, and will be directed to the physical and chemical characteristics of the lunar crust, and to measurements that will furnish data pertinent to understanding the physics of the Moon. Scientific exploration of the Moon will provide information fundamental to understanding the origin and composition of the Solar System, and engineering data important to the design of specific...

At the suggestion of the Planetology Subcommittee of the Space Sciences Steering Committee, an active engineering seismic experiment originally proposed by J. S. Watkins, J. Cl. De Bremaecker, and M. F. Kane was incorporated into the Early Apollo Active Seismic Experiment originally proposed by R. L. Kovach . J. S. Watkins was made co-experimenter for the Early Apollo Active Seismic Experiment with the responsibility of developing the engineering seismic part of the experiment (sometimes called the Short Array); R. L. Kovach was appointed the principal investigator for the experiment with overall responsibility for the development of the experiment , and particular responsibility for the development of his mortar-firing...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration plans to land two astronauts on the Moon as a part of the Apollo Space Program. The questions arise: What should the astronauts do on the surface and what information should they gather? This report proposes answers to these questions by describing a possible series of scientific activities, or mission profiles, to be performed by the astronauts on the lunar surface during the first seven missions.
This report includes the first substantive body of in situ density, bearing strength, shear strength, and moisture content data measured by Project personnel. Emphasis in this fiscal year's measurements was on low-density materials since available data suggest that the upper meter or so of the lunar surface consists of low-density material.

Cinder Lake symbology, unit descriptions, and ideas tested at Cinder Lakes and Verde Valley, northern Arizona.
Apollo Applications Program (AAP) Test 3 was held in Flagstaff, Arizona, as an initial feasibility study of rock thin-section preparation and remote television monitoring of the microscopic image, for possible use on AAP missions. During the 18 hours of actual test operations 38 thin sections were prepared. Of these, 25 were examined with a petrographic microscope with a television link to the Communications Data Reception and Analysis facility (CDRA) in another part of town. Instruments tested included a semi-automatic thin-section fabricating apparatus and two microscope-television systems. The exchange of information between test subjects and CDRA personnel was more coordinated and of greater geologic value than...
The main idea behind this slide presentation is to develope a general philosophy on: 1) lunar impact cratering processes, 2) characteristics of impact craters and ejecta as a function of target material and, size, 3) the effects of layered targets on impact crater morphology, and 4) illustration of the above for lunar sites.
