Apollo Experiment Drill To Sample Lunar Surface
Apollo plans ALSEP instruments for early landings with seven of nine proposed devices deployed. Two devices gravimeter and micrometeorite sensors omitted. Seismometers by MIT and Columbia will measure moon tremors to infer interior structure and history. Active seismic tests involve a piston and mortar to study surface waves to 500 feet depth. Lunar heat flow measurements will assess radioactive material distribution.
