DESCRIPTION |
This bundle contains fixed-width ASCII files of daily, raw cleaned measurements
acquired by Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment (SIDE) and the Cold Cathode Ion Gage
Experiment (CCIG; also known as the Cold Cathode Gage Experiment) at the Apollo 15 landing
site for the time span of 02 April through 30 June 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 |
Measurements of the differential energy spectrum of positive ions having energies
from 0.2 to 48.6 eV per unit charge and 10 to 3500 eV per unit charge as acquired,
respectively, by the mass analyzer detector and the total ion detector of the Apollo 15
Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment (SIDE); and measurements of density and temperature for
pressures ranging from 10^-6 torr to 10^-12 torr as acquired by the Apollo 15 Cold Cathode Ion
Gage (CCIG) experiment. The scientific objectives of these experiments were to measure the
flux, number density, velocity and energy per unit charge of positive ions near the lunar
surface, and to detect any lunar ambient atmospheric pressure. The time span for these data is
02 April through 30 June 1975.
