Astronauts Seek Lunar Volcanoes Near Descartes Plain
Apollo 16 astronauts John W Mountain and Charles M Duke Jr plan a detailed two day traverse near the Descartes crater on the Cayley Formation to study possible volcanic activity. They will deploy a nuclear powered science station, collect surface samples, and drill deep cores to compare upper and lower bedrock layers for signs of ancient lava flows and subsurface structure. The mission aims to determine if some moon craters are volcanic in origin and to gather data on lunar geology for the first time since Apollo 11.
