Catalog of Apollo lunar surface geological sampling tools and containers

Abstract

Summarizes the hardware that was used to collect and preserve lunar samples until the time that they were delivered to the receiving laboratory and curatorial facility at the Johnston Space Center. The catalog format was chosen to individually feature tools and containers for engineering purposes, with a minximum amount of ancillary descriptions. Emphasis was placed on summarizing important physical characteristics (dimensions, weight, power, materials of construction); where known, references to original technical documents were cited.
