All Data

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.

Details of field exercises to assess the readiness of astronauts to perform geologic investigations on the lunar surface. They include landscape description, geologic mapping, mobile traverse descriptions, impact crater description, depression description, and detailed mapping.

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.

This document is part of the Functional Specifications for the Topographic Mapping Experiment to be carried out by the Surveyor Lunar Roving Vehicle. It includes a description of the experiment along with the accuracies required for meaningful results.

Drill Core Log of Cinder Lake (in Yavapai county) Collected September 10-17, 1968.

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 chemica

The U. S. Geological Survey's Manned Lunar Exploration Investigations carried out during the second half of Fiscal Year 1965 concept studies for Apollo and for AES exploration, and shirt-sleeve field tests of geologic operations for Apollo exploration. Three Apollo field tests were carried out late in the spring using communications and television systems, a simple LEM mock-up, and other equipment

Enclosed are the seismic profiles and a plan of the seismic lines at the new Cinder Lake Crater Field in Yavapai county. Along the East-West line the upper layer is made up of 3.5 feet of cinders on the top and then becoming mixed with clay t o a depth of 7.5 to 11.0 feet below the surface. Beneath this is a 10 to 20 foot thick layer of denser cinders or some other unconsolidated material. The thi

Outline and schedule of geology training courses provided by the USGS Astronaut training program. Training topics include, but are not limited to, lunar and terrestrial geology, the rock cycle, impact processes, rock and mineral identification, lunar and terrestrial geophysics, and geologic mapping. This outline is dated January 8, 1964.
