DESCRIPTION |
This bundle contains fixed-width ASCII files of daily, raw cleaned measurements
acquired by the Solar Wind Spectrometer (SWS) at the Apollo 12 landing site for the time span
of 03 April through 01 July 1975. These data were extracted from NASA's original Apollo Lunar
Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) archive tapes, also known as ARCSAV tapes.

PRIMARY RESULT DESCRIPTION |
Electron and positive ion flux measurements taken on the surface of the Moon by
the Apollo 12 Solar Wind Spectrometer during the time span of 03 April through 01 July 1975.
The instrument observed the directional intensities of the electron (6-1330 eV) and positive
ion (18-9780 eV) components of the solar wind and magnetotail plasma that strike the surface
of the Moon. The scientific objectives were to study the existence of the solar wind plasma on
the Moon, the properties of the lunar surface and interior, general solar wind properties, and
the magnetospheric tail of the Earth.
