Classification, experimental petrology and possible volcanic histories of the Apollo 11 high-K basalts

The Apollo 11 high-K basalt samples are classified into three textural categories: vitrophyric, anti-insertal, and antiophitic. Low-pressure phase equilibrium experiments and cooling rate studies were performed on a synthetic analog of 10085, 832. The dynamic crystallization experiments were designed to study textural development with: (1) a variable cooling rate from a constant initial temperature above the liquidus, and (2) cooling at a constant rate from variable initial temperatures below the liquidus. These experiments show that a variety of cooling rates initiated from temperatures both below and above the liquidus can produce all the observed textures. The results are consistent with the interpretation that all of the high-K basalt samples were derived from a single lava flow or lava lake.

Apollo 11 Highlights

This video recounts the Apollo 11 Mission which took ten years of preparation and the work of over a half a million people, culminating in the first manned lunar landing on July 20, 1969. Historical footage is accompanied by a narrated account of the mission. The footage includes preparation for launch, takeoff, stage separation, docking in space the Eagle Lunar Lander, shots of the Earth and Moon from space, Michael Collins orbiting the Moon in the Columbia Orbiter, Edwin Aldrin and Neil Armstrong walking on the Moon, setting up a Solar Wind experiment, collecting lunar samples, shots aboard the U.S.S. Hornet, retrieval of the astronauts after splashdown, and the parade given in honor of the astronauts.

Apollo 11 Launch

This NASA Kennedy Space Center video release presents the countdown and liftoff of Apollo 11, the first manned journey to the Moon which began at Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, Florida at 9:32 a.m. EDT on July 16, 1969. The crew of Apollo 11 included Commander Neil A. Armstrong, Command Module pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module pilot Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. Several different camera viewpoints of the spacecraft as well as over-head shots of the Kennedy launch control center are presented prior to liftoff. Other footage includes shots of President Lyndon B. Johnson and his wife among the Florida audience viewing liftoff. During the countdown several audio updates from Kennedy launch control are presented as to the status of pre-launch testing and system readiness. Captivating footage from liftoff to the spacecraft nearing the outer Earth atmosphere is shown as the video ends with Neil Armstrong's confirmation of engine skirt separation and launch escape tower separation from the spacecraft.
