Introduction

  This data set contains a table of readings from the Traverse Gravimeter     
  Experiment performed during the Apollo 17 mission.  The gravimeter,         
  which recorded relative measurements of the local gravitational field       
  at the lunar surface, was manually run by the astronauts near the           
  Lunar Module landing site.  The data table includes 23 valid gravity        
  values, with calibrations and corrections, that were obtained from 12       
  to 14 December 1972.  Supporting documentation includes the Apollo 17       
  Traverse Gravimeter Experiment Final Report.

  This single-volume dataset has been formatted according to the ISO-9660     
  level 2 Interchange Standard for directories and file names as described    
  in Version 3.7 of the PDS Standards Reference.

  All text documents and other meta information files such as descriptions,   
  PDS object definitions, and detached PDS labels are stream format files,    
  with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed character (ASCII 10) at   
  the end of the record.  This allows the files to be read by various         
  operating systems.
