Geophysical surveys conducted at Zuni Salt Lake, Hopi Buttes, and Meteor Crater show anomalies that are representative of the varied geologic history of these test areas. This report presents only a qualitative representation of results obtained at the three major test sites: Zuni Salt Lake, Hopi Buttes, and Meteor Crater. Individual reports on each test site will examine and interpret geophysical anomalies in greater detail.
Apollo Applications Program Field Test 5 was held March 14-18, 1966, in the Hopi Buttes area, Arizona. The objectives of the test were to 1) evaluate techniques of field checking a moderately complex photogeologic map--techniques potentially useful for lunar geologic exploration; 2) test the feasibility of using a vehicle mounted magnetometer and applying the magnetometer results to real time geologic mapping and interpretation; and 3) evaluate the use of a petrographic microscope as a possible analytical tool for lunar exploration. The test results indicated that for real-time mapping at a station remote from the fieldwork, persons working in the field and at the remote station must be trained as a team, and that...
The U. S. Geological Survey's Manned Lunar Exploration Investigations carried out during the second half of Fiscal Year 1965 concept studies for Apollo and for AES exploration, and shirt-sleeve field tests of geologic operations for Apollo exploration. Three Apollo field tests were carried out late in the spring using communications and television systems, a simple LEM mock-up, and other equipment such as a surveying staff and one and two-handed sample and instrument carriers. Structure of the Manned Lunar Exploration Investigations was temporarily reorganized (pending complete reorganization for FY 66) late in the period to identify a number of the work areas of responsibility that had come into being (Figure 1)....
A shirtsleeve test of geologic reconnaissance methods applicable to lunar surface exploration was conducted using astronauts as subjects. The task analysis objective was to determine the efficiency of a 2-man traverse. A table summarizes the full-day traverse, and a process chart (time line) is included in the report. It was concluded that two astronauts can complement each other's work with little or no time lost by one waiting for the other.
