  • The lunar-surface orientation of some Apollo 12 rocks 
    Hörz, Friedrich, 1940-; Hartung, Jack B. (MIT Press, 1971)
    Detailed studies of the distribution of microcraters on whole lunar rocks revealed that some rocks have large surface areas that are completely uncratered. It is demonstrated that the uncratered parts were buried in the ...
  • Machine Learning Tools for Geomorphic Mapping of Planetary Surfaces 
    Stepinski, T. F.; Vilalta, Ricardo (Intech, 2010-02-01)
    Machine learning can play a vital role in automating the process of geomorphic mapping. A learning system can be employed to either fully automate the process of discovering meaningful landform classes using clustering ...

  • Magnetic properties and granulometry of metallic iron in lunar breccia 14313 
    Dunlop, D. J.; Gose, W. A.; Pearce, G. W.; Strangway, David W. (Pergamon Press, 1973)
    Based on a detailed study of time-dependent or viscous remanence (VRM), thermoremanence (TRM) and magnetic granulometry of soil breccia 14313, single-domain particles of iron 100-200 Å in size are proposed as the major ...
  • Magnetic properties of Apollo 14 breccias and their correlation with metamorphism 
    Gose, W. A.; Pearce, G. W.; Strangway, David W.; Larson, E. E. (Pergamon Press, 1972)
    The magnetic properties of Apollo 14 breccias can be explained in terms of the grain size distribution of the interstitial iron which is directly related to the metamorphic grade of the sample.
  • Magnetic properties of Apollo samples and implications for regolith formation 
    Pearce, G. W.; Strangway, David W.; Gose, W. A. (Pergamon Press, 1974)
    The magnetic properties of a number of Apollo 17 samples have been measured and confirm that regoliths of mare sites (Apollo 11, 12, 15 valley, and 17 valley) differ markedly from those of highland sites (Apollo 14, 16, ...
  • Magnetic studies on Apollo 15 and 16 lunar samples 
    Pearce, G. W.; Gose, W. A.; Strangway, David W. (Pergamon Press, 1973)
    The magnetic properties of lunar samples are almost exclusively due to rather pure metallic iron. The mare basalt contains about 0.06 wt.% Fe, the soils 0.5--0.6 wt.%, and the breccias 0.3-1.0 wt.%. Most of the additional ...
  • Magnetometer experiment power profile 
    Parker, Everette. (Bendix Systems Division, 1966)
    This report describes the latest estimate from Ames Research Center (ARC) of the magnetometer power profile.
  • Magnetometer programming for DPS 2000 (system test set) 
    Honeycutt, R.; Coleman, C. W. (Bendix Systems Division, 1966)
    This ATM is a statement of the magnetometer processing currently included in the DPS 2000 computer programs being written for the ALSEP System Test Set.
  • Major and trace element chemistry of Luna 24 samples from Mare Crisium 
    Blanchard, Douglas P.; Brannon, Joyce C.; Aaboe, Erik; Budahn, James R. (Pergamon Press, 1978)
    We have analyzed 6 Luna 24 soils for major and trace elements by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). We have also analyzed size fractions (90-150 μm and <20 μm) ...
  • The major element compositions of lunar rocks as inferred from glass compositions in the lunar soils 
    Reid, Arch M.; Warner, Jeffrey L.; Ridley, W. I.; Johnston, Dennis A.; Harmon, R. S. (Russell S.); Jakeš, Petr; Brown, Roy W. (Pergamon Press, 1972)
    Data on the major element composition of glasses in Apollo 11, 12, and 14 and Luna 16 soils have been classified into groupings of preferred compositions by cluster analysis techniques. These preferred compositions are ...
  • Manned Space Flight Experiments Board minutes : Meeting 72-3 July 14, 1972 NASA Headquarters
