Apollo 17 Lunar
Surface Experiments Package Heat Flow Experiment Data
Bundle
The Apollo 17 HFE PDS4 bundle comprises
a reduced, subsampled set of the data returned from the
Apollo 17 Heat Flow Experiment from 12 December 1972
through 31 December 1974. The experiment consisted of
two probes placed by the Apollo 17 astronauts in holes
drilled in the lunar surface near the Apollo 17 Lunar
Surface Experiments Package site to measure the thermal
conductivity. The data consist of a set of ten ASCII
tables with time, temperature differences, and average
temperatures readings measured by the thermocouples in
the heat flow probes and probe cables. The data have
been restored and reformatted from binary data held on
magnetic tapes at the NASA National Space Science Data
Center (NSSDC) under NSSDC ID of PSPG-00022 (old NSSDC
ID 72-096C-01A).
The original PDS3 volume is
available at the link below.
