A comparison of two terrestrial grabens with the lunar rilles Rima Ariadaeus and Rimae Hypatia I and II

Photogeologic maps were made of the fault THE LUNAR RILLES AND II * systems related to two Quaternary grabens and were compared with maps of the inferred fault patterns in the vicinity of the lunar rilles Rima Ariadaeus and RimaeHypatia I and 11. The lunar and terrestrial features have several characteristics in common; this article spotlights these and comments on their possible meanings.

Crew observations

Crew observations of the Apollo 15 flight are presented. The observations are concerned with the following phases of the flight: (1) translunar and transearth coasts, (2) lunar landing and ascent, (3) standup extravehicular activity, (4) surface experiment deployment, (5) lunar traverse geology, and (6) orbital observations.

Bulk magnetization properties of the Fra Mauro and Reiner Gamma Formations

In the reported investigation, bulk magnetization properties within two lunar surface geologic units have been inferred using low-altitude, high-resolution Apollo 16 subsatellite magnetometer data. On the basis of correlations of mapped anomalies with relatively surficial units on the central near side, a surface plate model with thickness much less than the subsatellite altitude was adopted and was used to represent the sources of largest anomalies. The results strongly suggest that directional coherence of the surface density of magnetization can occur over horizontal scales up to 100 km. Tentative evidence for a lack of directional coherence on scales greater than 100 km was found in the case of the Fra Mauro Formation.
