Apollo
Data
The Apollo program sent six missions to the
lunar surface between 1969 and 1972.
Apollo astronauts deployed several
experiment packages during these missions.
Data from instruments were telemetered to
Earth after the astronauts left the moon.
PDS is working to recover some of these
Apollo data sets.

Additional Apollo Resources
Additional information about Apollo missions and selected data sets
can be accessed through the
National Space Sciences Data Center
(NSSDC)
Overviews of Apollo missions as well as
descriptions of landing sites, surface
operations, photography, experiments, and
samples can be found at
The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI)
The Lunar Data Project (LDP) is working
to digitize NSSDC Apollo data holdings
