IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:a15_17_hfe_concatenated::1.0
NAME Apollo 15 and 17 Heat Flow Experiment Concatenated Data Sets Bundle
TYPE Archive
DESCRIPTION This bundle contains ASCII tables containing corrected, reduced, and concatenated versions of all available calibrated data from the Apollo 15 and 17 Heat Flow Experiment, along with supporting documentation and source data. These tables are based on other data in the PDS and the published literature, specifically (1) transcriptions of data sent by the original instrument team to the NSSDC and (2) data not archived by the instrument team and recovered much later from ARCSAV tapes. The data here correct several errors in (1), and furthermore place (1) and (2) into a standardized format for ease of use.

PRIMARY RESULT DESCRIPTION Temperature values from four probes intended to measure thermal properties of the lunar regolith, two from Apollo 15 and two from Apollo 17. Each probe contained 12 total thermometers, four differential bridges on the main probe body and four thermocouples on the cable that connected it to the ALSEP central station.
