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...

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...

Apollo lunar sounder experiment Apollo lunar sounder experiment
The scientific objectives of the Apollo lunar sounder experiment (ALSE) are (1) mapping of subsurface electrical conductivity structure to infer geological structure, (2) surface profiling to determine lunar topographic variations, (3) surface imaging, and (4) measuring galactic electromagnetic radiation in the lunar environment. The ALSE was a three-frequency, wide-band, coherent radar...

Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part B: calibration of radar data from apollo 17 and other mission results Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part B: calibration of radar data from apollo 17 and other mission results
A large quantity of data on backscattered polarized and depolarized radar echoes from the Moon has been collected from Earth at 3.8-cm wavelength (ref. 33-23). Depolarized echoes are particularly interesting because theory indicates that relatively strong depolarized echoes can be caused by the following factors.

Stratigraphic studies: Part D: geologic map of the northern Crisium region Stratigraphic studies: Part D: geologic map of the northern Crisium region
Apollo 17 metric photographs (fig. 29-26) provide the best available coverage for geologic interpretation of northern Mare Crisium and the northern Crisium basin. The area was covered previously by low-resolution telescopic and Lunar Orbiter IV photographs and by oblique, high-illumination, or low-resolution photographs from earlier Apollo missions. One region in particular, between...
