Paschoff said that the Harvard team will be mainly concerned with observations of the solar corona-the vast outer atmosphere of the sun-with a spectrograph which he is building with Donald H. Menzel, professor of Astrophysies...
Echo Chamber. The solar-wind spectrometer was also working well, even though it had, for the moment, little to detect; the moon was passing through the earth's magnetic tail (April 22, 1966), which shielded the lunar surface from the high-velocity solar particles that normally bombard it. Meanwhile, the seismometer had recorded an unexplained, two-minute tremor. And scientists were still trying to explain the strange vibrations recorded for 55 minutes by the instrument immediately after Intrepid's ascent stage impacted into the Ocean of Storms...
Bean will emerge about 35 minutes later to join his skipper in preliminary chores. Together they will set up a large, umbrella-shaped S-band antenna (for better TV transmissions), place the TV camera on a tripod about 20 ft. from the LM, unfurl a solar wind experiment to trap high-speed particles from the sun on aluminum foil, and -in the only ceremony planned for the mission-plant a U.S. flag...
