DESCRIPTION |
This collection contains fixed-width ASCII files of daily raw cleaned science
measurements acquired by the Lunar Ejecta And Meteorites (LEAM) Experiment at the Apollo 17
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, that recorded 24-hour, time-edited, and rearranged raw binary data
transmitted from the Moon. The extracted binary data were corrected for obvious tape read
errors then transformed to ASCII format for this archive. This collection also includes ASCII
files of LEAM-related command verification and raw analog housekeeping data extracted from the
ARCSAV binary files.

PRIMARY RESULT DESCRIPTION |
Measurements of cosmic dust impacts (lunar ejecta, interstellar grains, and
cometary debris) taken on the surface of the Moon by the Apollo 17 Lunar Ejecta And Meteorites
Experiment during the time span of 02 April through 30 June 1975. The scientific objectives
were to measure the speed, direction, total energy (kinetic and potential), and momentum of
primary cosmic dust particles and lunar ejecta.
