IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:a17hfe_calibrated_arcsav::1.0
NAME Apollo 17 ALSEP ARCSAV Heat Flow Experiment Calibrated Gradient Bridge Temperatures Bundle
TYPE Archive
DESCRIPTION This bundle contains fixed-width ASCII files contains fully processed, calibrated temperature data for the upper gradient bridge thermal sensors on both probes of the Heat Flow Experiment (HFE) at the Apollo 17 landing site. The time span is 02 April through 30 June 1975. These data were derived from raw measurements extracted from NASA's original Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) archive tapes, also known as ARCSAV tapes.

PRIMARY RESULT DESCRIPTION Temperature averages and differences and thermal conductivity measurements in the near-surface layers of the moon by the Apollo 17 Heat Flow Experiment during the time span of 02 April through 30 June 1975. The data are for the temperature sensors that were collectively called gradient bridges in the two heat flow probes. The scientific objective was to determine the rate of heat loss from the lunar interior by temperature and thermal property measurements at and below the surface.
