Anthony Young documents the collection of Apollo samples for the first time for readers of all backgrounds, and includes interviews with many of those involved in planning and analyzing the samples. NASA contracted with the U.S. Geologic Survey to perform classroom and field training of the Apollo astronauts. NASA?s Geology Group within the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, helped to establish the goals of sample collection, as well as the design of sample collection tools, bags, and storage containers. In this book, detailed descriptions are given on the design of the lunar sampling tools, the Modular Experiment Transporter used on Apollo 14, and the specific areas of the Lunar Rover vehicle used for the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions, which carried the sampling tools, bags, and other related equipment used in sample collection. The Lunar Receiving Laboratory, which was designed and built at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Texas for analysis and storage of the lunar samples returned from the Apollo lunar landing missions is also described in detail. There are also descriptions of astronaut mission training for sample collecting, with the focus on the specific portions of the mission EVAs devoted to this activity. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Space Development,$x2191-8171 606 $aPlanetary science 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aPlanetology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18010 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aGeophysics and Environmental Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P32000 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aPlanetary science. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 14$aPlanetology. 615 24$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aGeophysics and Environmental Physics. 676 $a559.91 700 $aYoung$b Anthony$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0351766 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254586903321 996 $aThe Apollo Lunar Samples$92141285 997 $aUNINA
