| Description | Reporting on a one day research conference on 'The properties of rock dust in the lunar environment'. Talks, in particular, about specific suggestions made in regard to future missions to the moon e.g. 'Astronauts in space suits should obtain a large amount of experience moving and working in a large vacuum chamber containing fine rock powders, perhaps with different degrees of cementation between the grains'; 'Small mirrors should be placed on various surfaces of subsequent models of the Surveyor in order to allow a sensitive examination with the aid of the camera'. |
