Apollo 15 surface science summary.
The Apollo 15 mission was the fourth manned lunar landing and the northernmost location yet visited. The landing site on the southeastern edge of the Imbrium Basin afforded the opportunity of studying several unique lunar features, the Apennine Mountains, Hadley Rille, and the Imbrium Basin fill. Detailed geological study of the data returned from the mission provided new insight into the structure and history of the Basin. A third Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package was deployed during the mission containing seven experiments: Passive Seismometer (PSE), Heat Flow (HFE), Surface Magnetometer (LSM), Suprathermal Ion Detector (SIDE), Cold Cathode Gauge (CCGE), Solar Wind Spectrometer (SWS), and a Dust Detector. We have been able to triangulate on the sources of moonquakes and to observe simultaneous nighttime and daytime changes in the moon's magnetic field, solar wind flux, and the neutral and ionized components of the moon's tenuous atmosphere.
