	ALSEP - Wikipedia
		ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package) war die Bezeichnung für einen Gerätekomplex zur Durchführung von wissenschaftlichen Experimenten auf der Mondoberfläche in den Jahren 1969 bis 1977.
		ALSEPs wurden ab Apollo 12 von allen Apollo-Missionen verwendet, wobei die Zusammensetzung der Experimente variierte.
		Das ALSEP wurde von den Astronauten in etwa 100 Meter Entfernung von der Mondlandefähre aufgebaut, damit die Geräte nicht durch den Wiederaufstieg der Fähre beschädigt würden.

		ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package) was the array of connected scientific instruments left behind on the lunar surface by each Apollo expedition.
		ALSEP Program Manager, W. O'Bryant, said: "I felt they were serious enough to warrant giving you my views in regard to the importance of having the ALSEP with its planned complement of instruments aboard the first Apollo lunar landing mission.
		ALSEP left on the moon in November 1969 was continuing to transmit satisfactory data.

		ALSEP was a collection of geophysical instruments designed to continue to monitor the environment of each Apollo landing site for a period of at least a year after the astronauts had departed.
		The SIDE which was part of the ALSEPs on the Apollo 12, 14, and 15 missions had sensors which were directional, pointing in the ecliptic plane 15 degrees from the lunar local meridian.
		Only used on Apollo 17 ALSEP, the LSG’s major goal was to confirm the existence of gravity waves as predicted by Einstein; to measure the response of the Moon to the Earth’s tidal pull; and to detect free lunar oscillations in periods of 15 minutes or longer.

		A-15 and 16 reported no particular problems deploying ALSEP (but see A-16 HFE.) Some cords which were to release pins on the central station of A-15 broke and the pins had to be released by hand.
		During A-14 EVA 2, the crew was able to adjust the alignment of the central station antenna in an effort to strengthen the signal received at Earth.
		The fuel capsules for these were kept in a separate cask for safety (they were at 500deg C and radioactive) until the astronaut on the surface removed it and placed it into the thermocouple assembly with the fuel transfer tool.

		The Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package, or ALSEP, was a set of connected scientific instruments left on the Moon The Moon is the only natural satellite of Earth.
		ALSEP was powered by Radioisotope thermoelectric generatorsA radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) is a simple electrical generator which obtains its power from radioactive decay.
		In such a device, the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material is converted into electricity using an array of thermocouples.

		Each was powered by a small nuclear generator and included a seismometer to measure moonquakes, a solar wind detector, and instruments to measure any trace atmosphere and heat flow from the Moon’s interior.
		During the first, the astronauts set up the ALSEP and positioned a color TV camera to provide the color transmissions from the lunar surface.
		During the first moonwalk the astronauts deployed the ALSEP and drove the LRV to Flag Crater.

		On the final three lunar exploration missions, the PLSS life-support capability for a single excursion was more than doubled to over seven hours.
		ALSEPs measured topological and geophysical characteristics of the moon and were set into place and left behind by the astronauts.
		They were nuclear powered and designed to operate for at least five years—several lasted much longer.

		He told Gilruth he had asked Len Reiffel to serve as the primary focus of Headquarters on ALSEP and that he would be assisted by three members of the Lunar and Planetary Program Office of the Office of Space Science and Applications: W. O'Bryant, E. Davin, and R. Green.
		Following a midcourse correction at 4:01 p.m., an 18-minute color television transmission was made, in which the astronauts demonstrated the weightlessness of food and water and showed shots of the earth and the moon.
		The first EVA traverse was to the Apennine mountain front, after which the ALSEP was deployed and activated, and one probe of a Heat Flow experiment was emplaced.

		The electronics of the experiment were housed in the ALSEP central station.
		NASA should look into the possibility of turning the Apollo 12, 14, 15, and 16 ALSEP hardware back on, depending on how long they could be left on for a reasonable cost, Schmitt said.
		In the past, by using Saturn Vs upper stages as sources of energy, Schmitt said, the ALSEP seismometer network yielded a primary source of data about the crust and mantle of the Moon in certain regions.

		The ALSEP scientific experiments included a seismometer sensitive to slight lunar surface movements, and charged particle detectors which measured the solar wind.
		The seismometer successfully measured surface tremors interpreted as moonquakes and meteoroids striking the Moon, while the solar wind experiment was sensitive enough to detect the element argon.
		These and other ALSEP experiments helped classify the internal structure and magnetic field of Earth's Moon.

		El ALSEP fue un experimento científico que incluyó un sismómetro sensitivo a leves movimientos superficiales, y un detector de partículas cargadas que medía el viento solar.
		El sismómetro midió exitosamente temblores superficiales que se interpretaron como temblores lunares y el impacto de meteoros contra la Luna, mientras que el experimento del viento solar fue tan sensitivo que logró detectar al elemento químico argón.
		Estos y otros experimentos del ALSEP ayudaron a clasificar la estructura interna y el campo magnético de la Luna terrestre.
