Ultraviolet spectrometer measures pure monochromatic wavelengths in predetermined narrow wave bands. Two stages are incorporated: stationary dispersed beam is intercepted by array of slits cut into plate at discrete wavelength locations; second stage is inverted spectrometer which recombines dispersed spectrum at single exit slit.
A system of unification and standardization for lunar nomenclature was developed. The following recommendations were made for use in future lunar cartography: (1) satellite craters, previously designated by letters will be named; (2) names will no longer be restricted to scientists, but will also include great contributors to human knowledge and human culture; and (3) a system of grids for dividing the moon into 144 regions and subdividing these regions into 2304 provinces will be used.
