DESCRIPTION |
This bundle contains fixed-width ASCII files of daily, raw cleaned measurements
acquired by the Lunar Surface Magnetometer (LSM) Experiment at the Apollo 16 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 |
Raw measurements of the three orthogonal vector components of magnetic fields at
the lunar surface acquired by the three fluxgate sensors of the Apollo 16 Lunar Surface
Magnetometer Experiment during the time span of 02 April through 30 June 1975. The scientific
objectives were to measure remanent and induced lunar magnetic fields to investigate the
following properties of the lunar interior and the lunar environment: (1) global electrical
conductivity and temperature of the Moon, (2) lunar magnetic permeability and iron abundance,
and (3) lunar remanent magnetic fields and their interaction with the solar wind
plasma.
