Microprobe analyses of glasses and minerals from Luna-16 soil
Electron microprobe analyses are presented for nine elements in 250 glasses and 434 pyroxenes, eight elements in 113 olivines, and six elements in 354 feldspars, 35 spinels, and 159 ilmenites. All grains are from the 125-425 micron fraction of horizon A and horizon D soil from the Luna 16 sample. A norm is presented for each glass analysis and the structural formula is calculated for each mineral analysis.

Soil mechanics results of Luna 16 and Lunokhod 1: A preliminary report
The physical and mechanical properties of the lunar soil, as determined by Luna 16 and Lunokhod 1 experiments, are discussed. Data are included for interactions between vehicle wheels and the lunar soil, compressibility, resistance to penetration, and friction characteristics of the soil. The shear strength of the returned lunar soil for various bulk densities is also examined. Several potential spacecraft materials were tested in contact with lunar soil to determine their friction and wear characteristics.

Microprobe studies of three Luna 16 basalt fragments.
Three small fragments of Luna 16 basalt (NASA sample designation G38) have been analyzed with an electron microprobe. The mineralogy is generally similar to that found in Apollo 11 and 12 igneous rocks: major amounts of clinopyroxene, plagioclase, ilmenite and olivine; accessory spinel, troilite, Fe metal and residual phases. Unlike some Apollo 12 basalts, there is continuous zoning with no composition gap in the G38 spinels. Plagioclase analyses follow the same nonstoichiometric trends previously found in Apollo 11 and 12. The samples indicate a magmatic history (rapid crystallization from reduced melts) similar to that inferred from studies of Apollo 11 and 12 basalts.
