Apollo-Soyuz experiments summary

The science and technology program conducted by the Apollo crew during the Apollo Soyuz Test Project consisted of 28 separate experiments including five conducted jointly with the Soyuz crew. Experiments were classified in the broad categories of space sciences (astronomy and earth studies), life sciences (particle radiation effects on living cells, the human immune system, and the vestibular system), and materials processing (electrophoresis and solid processing). Experimental designs and results are summarized.

Summary of scientific results

Conceptual, instrumental, and operational aspects of the experiments package are outlined. A preliminary assessment is given on scientific results in astronomy, earth atmosphere, earth observations, biological materials processing, and solid materials processing.

Artificial solar eclipse experiment MA-148

On July 19, 1975, the Apollo spacecraft successfully occulted the solar disk from the field of view of a camera mounted in the Soyuz spacecraft while performing a spacecraft separation maneuver to permit the outer solar corona to be viewable by the Soyuz camera. The camera operated automatically, and 55 frames were developed for scientific analysis.

Monte Carlo analysis of the solar-wind modulation of galactic C-N-O at solar maximum

A previous (Moss and Giuli, 1971) Monte Carlo analysis of the solar-wind modulation of galactic cosmic-ray rigidity spectra is extended to include particles in the C-N-O group. A solar cavity 'radius' of 7 AU is found to be consistent with observations of the C-N-O component at solar maximum. The variation in modulation between solar maximum and solar minimum may be explained solely by variation of the solar cavity size, with no change in the scattering mean free path.

Density of the lunar interior.

It is attempted to derive the constraints that can be placed on the density of the lunar interior. The moment of inertia of the moon and its mean density are being considered in the investigation together with the mass and density of the lunar crust that have been inferred from the seismic refraction data recorded by the passive seismometer. The calculations presented show that the density of the lunar interior can easily approach values as high as 3.5 for a fraction of the lunar mass which lies in the range from 1/2 to 2/3.

Observations of the stellar Mg II resonance doublet at 2795 and 2802 A.

Spectrophotometry of the Mg II resonance doublet at 2795.5 and 2802.7 A has been performed for five stars with a balloon-borne telescope and spectrometer. Spectral resolution attained was between 0.25 and 0.5 A. A description of the payload and flight operations is given. In beta Lyr the Mg II doublet displayed P Cygni characteristics, while in gamma Lyr the doublet was observed only in absorption. The star beta Cas shows broad overlapping Mg II absorption lines with possible weak emission at the line bottom. In alpha CMi, both components of the doublet are seen in emission at the bottom of the broad absorption feature. The Mg II doublet in alpha Ori is entirely in emission, with each component showing distinct self-reversal.
