...command ship America, he will remain in orbit around the moon while Schmitt and Cernan explore the lunar surface. Unlike earlier command pilots, he will not be totally alone. In lunar orbit with him will be the participants in a medical experiment to determine the effects of cosmic rays on space travelers: five pocket mice...
...Apollo 17, four wholly new instruments have been included in the ALSEP package: a mass spectrometer to measure the moon's tenuous atmosphere; a detector that will let earthbound scientists monitor the bombardment of cosmic dust particles and micrometeorites on the moon's surface; an array of four listening devices-geo-phones-that can pick up shock waves from explosive charges that will be detonated after the astronauts leave and should tell much about the substructure of the landing site; an extremely sensitive gravimeter that is designed to pick up minuscule variations in lunar surface gravity...
