Collection Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:a17leamcal:calibration::1.0
NAME Apollo 17 Lunar Ejecta And Meteorites Experiment Calibration Notebook Collection
TYPE Calibration
DESCRIPTION This collection contains a digital reproduction of one hand-written laboratory notebook of calibration analysis by Dr. Otto E. Berg for the Apollo 17 Lunar Ejecta And Meteorites (LEAM) Experiment. Dr. Berg used this work along with analyses of data acquired by the Pioneer 8 and 9 Cosmic Dust Detectors, which were identical to LEAM detector, to calibrate the Apollo 17 LEAM data. Dr. Berg was the principal investigator for all three instruments.
