Abstract

The purpose of this book is to provide a reference document for those who require a knowledge of how the Manned Space Flight Network and the Mission Control Center support the Apollo lunar Surface Experiments Package and the Particles and Fields Subsatellite. To this end a description of the ALSEP and P&FS systems including the experiments is presented along with an explanation of the overall data flow. It is not intended to cover hardware and functions that are used to support Apollo except as they relate to the ALSEP and P&FS data flow.
