Abstract
Simultaneous enhancements of low-energy ions and negative particle fluxes due to the impact of the Apollo 14 Lunar Module were observed by the lunar-based Charged Particle Lunar Environment Experiment (CPLEE). The impact occurred 66 kilometers distant from CPLEE, and the time delay between impact and flux onset was approximate 1 minute.
