Mare ridges and related studies: Part D: small structures of the Taurus-Littrow region Mare ridges and related studies: Part D: small structures of the Taurus-Littrow region
Apollo 17 permission geologic studies of the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon revealed numerous small structures, in both mare and terra, having somewhat similar morphologies and variously resembling fault scarps, flow fronts, and mare ridges. Many of these features are too small to be identified on Lunar Orbiter IV photographs, which provided the most comprehensive, high-resolution...

Stratigraphic studies: Part C: relative ages of some near-side mare units based on Apollo 17 metric photographs Stratigraphic studies: Part C: relative ages of some near-side mare units based on Apollo 17 metric photographs
The lunar maria formed at different times and in multiple stages of extrusion. An understanding of their evolution is essential in placing the Apollo samples in a regional context and in interpreting the regional geology of a vast part of the lunar surface.

Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part A: remote sensing of Mare Serenitatis Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part A: remote sensing of Mare Serenitatis
Mare Serenitatis is a circular mare approximately 600 km in diameter in the northeast quadrant of the lunar near side. It occupies an old multi-ringed basin (refs. 33-1 and 33-2) and is the site of a prominent mascon (ref. 33-3). A conspicuous dark annulus in this mare prompted subdivision of the mare materials into different stratigraphic units (refs. 33-2 and 33-4). A revised...

Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part D: repeatability of elevation measurements--Apollo photography Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part D: repeatability of elevation measurements--Apollo photography
Stereoscopic photographs of the Moon taken by the metric and panoramic cameras on board the service module of Apollo spacecraft provide a source for quantitative data on lunar topography. The accuracy of the topographic data depends, in part, on the repeatability of elevation measurements. The repeatability depends on contrast in the stereoscopic image and is affected by many factors...

Volcanic studies: Part B: Mare Serenitatis cinder cones and terrestrial analogs Volcanic studies: Part B: Mare Serenitatis cinder cones and terrestrial analogs
Small volcanic cones with summit craters or breached walls occur in several areas on the Moon. Most of these features have basal diameters of approximately 1 to 2 km and probably are not more than a few hundred meters in height. None have been so clearly photographed, however, as those shown in Apollo 17 metric and panoramic camera coverage of the southeastern margin of the Serenitatis...

Stratigraphic studies: Part B: geologic setting of the dark mantling material in the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon Stratigraphic studies: Part B: geologic setting of the dark mantling material in the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon
A dark-colored surficial deposit covers lowlands and highlands along the southeastern margin of the Serenitatis basin. Sampling of this material was a major exploration objective of the Apollo 17 mission. Since completion of the mission, the dark mantle has been the subject of considerable controversy, inasmuch as no obvious stratified deposit was found in the landing area. Yet the...
