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...

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...

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...

Ad hoc Apollo group meeting agenda

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.

Apollo Applications Program Field Test 5 was held March 14-18, 1966, in the Hopi Buttes area, Arizona. The objectives of the test were to 1) evaluate techniques of field checking a moderately complex photogeologic map--techniques potentially useful for lunar geologic exploration; 2) test the feasibility of using a vehicle mounted magnetometer and applying the magnetometer results to real...

A shirtsleeve test of geologic reconnaissance methods applicable to lunar surface exploration was conducted using astronauts as subjects. The task analysis objective was to determine the efficiency of a 2-man traverse. A table summarizes the full-day traverse, and a process chart (time line) is included in the report. It was concluded that two astronauts can complement each other's work...

Systems and shirt-sleeve operations tests were conducted at the Bonito Flow test site from April 5 through April 9. The tests provided the opportunity to evaluate field test logistics, systems compatibility, systems operation, and geological field and control center operations. This report summarizes the evaluations that bear on the potential usefulness of systems and operations.
