The Apollo 15 X-ray fluorescence experiment
Abstract
The objectives of Apollo 15 X-ray fluorescence experiment were to obtain a partial chemical map of a large portion of the moon. Gamma ray and alpha particle experiments were also performed. Mapping information from approximately 150 deg east on the moon to about 50 deg west was secured. Secondary X-rays characteristic of silicon, aluminum, and magnesium were measured.
