Apollo Lunar Sounder experiment (S-209) National Space Science Center optically processed data description

Abstract

The Apollo Lunar Sounder Experiment was flown on the Apollo 17 mission in December, 1972. The Environmental Research Institute of Michigan Precision Optical Processor was used to process the data obtained during this experiment. One important result was the production of radar images of the lunar surface for radar wave-lengths of 2 m, 20 m, and 60 m. One set of such images has been submitted to the National Space Science Data Center. This report briefly describes these images. NSSDC ID numbers of the sets described: PSPG-00490, PSPG-00660, PSPG-00213
