Moon surface replica built at Houston center
Geologists at the Manned Spacecraft Center will build a 928 foot diameter mock lunar surface using slag and lava rock to resemble the Kepler crater in Oceanus Procellarum. The project aims to study time and motion in spacesuits and to practice entering the LEM Moon Landing Shipset, with a landing area and rougher terrain for movement analysis.
