Mysterious Spot. As it passes within 100,000 miles of Jupiter, Pioneer F will conduct a total of 13 experiments and radio the results back to mission controllers at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif. A complex array of detectors, which poke out of the cone-shaped spacecraft like antennae on a monstrous insect, will measure, among other things, magnetic fields, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, cosmic rays, meteoroid density and the intensity of the solar wind (charged atomic particles streaming from...
...rocks appear to be quite different from what we saw on Apollo 11 and 12." Since most lunar rocks are gray, the geologists were particularly eager to analyze a fragment chipped from a puzzling white boulder that the astronauts spotted on the slope of Fra Mauro's Cone Crater. The odd white sample, which contains a few dark flecks and streaks, may be as old as the moon and solar system: 4.6 billion years. As insurance against any loss of Apollo 14's precious cargo, NASA divided the rocks into two batches for the trip to Houston, shipping...
Shepard and his fellow moon walker, Ed Mitchell, shared that view. In a televised news conference from space, they insisted that their spine-tingling climb up the side of 400-ft.-high Cone Crater was not overly fatiguing and that it was cut short 100 yds. or so from the crater's rim only because time was running out. But they still seemed to disagree on one point. Mitchell, who had wanted to continue the hike over Shepard's protestations, said the rolling, boulder-strewn terrain made it extremely difficult for them to keep their bearings. "You simply...
...E.S.T.), Shepard and Mitchell are scheduled to emerge for their second EVA and load up their new collapsible two-wheeled lunar handcart with cameras, hand tools, shovel and sampling cores. Then they will begin their major geological traverse: a rock-collecting hike up the side of 400-ft.-high Cone Crater, nearly a mile away. Although the two lunar mountaineers will not descend into the crater itself, they will conduct a kind of rock festival on its rim: they will chip stone from large boulders and roll some smaller boulders down the crater's side (the tracks will give...
...will not seriously hurt them. Reynolds' broadcast billings make up about $49 million of the William Esty agency's total of $139 million. Philip Morris spends $25 million on broadcasting through Leo Burnett; Brown & Williamson bills $25 million through Ted Bates; and Lorillard $17 million through Foote Cone & Belding...
