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...

This is an examination of the geochemistry of the uranium deposit at the Frenchy Incline, and possible ways the deposit has come into existence.

This is a paper about the properties of comets and a theory of how they might come about.

A set of data releases from the Astrogeology Shoemaker collection. This work was funded through an NGGDPP award (2023-0017). They include unpublished works, maps and correspondence.
A field test held in the Hopi Buttes, Arizona, was planned to test geological, geophysical, and analytical operations and instruments that are of potential use in Apollo Extension Systems lunar surface missions. The test was conducted under "shirt-sleeve" conditions, but potentially useful methods of recording and compiling information during lunar exploration were employed. The test showed that by using specially planned procedures, field and analytical information can be evaluated during field operations and compiled at a location that is remote from the field. It also showed that the more information that is analyzed as operations progress, the more effectively can succeeding operations be conducted. Experience...
When the Apollo astronauts land on the Moon, their precise location will not be known. The real-time geologic mapping planned for the first mission could best be done if the exact position of the landing site were determined. The astronauts may have to find their position, with or without assistance from the Earth-based scientific mission center, before leaving the Lunar Module (LM), and the less time this takes, the more time will be available for exploring the lunar surface.

This is a memo concerning a review of a paper for publication entitled "Interplanetary correlation of geologic time", written by Shoemaker, Hackman and Eggleton.

This is a letter from John O'Keefe to Eugene Shoemaker discussing Lunar rays and formulas for computing impact crater ray formation.
Incorporated into USGS OpenFile Report #1094, "The Geologic Classification of the Meteorites", these materials were written by Donald Elston and contain figures, photos, and charts to help astronauts (who were not trained geologists) be able to identify and articulately describe the geologic observations they made on the lunar surface.
