The Apollo 12 mission provided the first opportunity in the scientific exploration of the moon to sample extensively the rocks within a radius of 1/2 km of the landing site, to obtain geologic data from firsthand observations made on the moon, to measure on the surface of the moon the vector components of the lunar magnetic field, to measure the pressure of the lunar atmosphere, and to collect seismic data on the interior of the moon from the impact of the lunar module (LM) ascent stage. Results indicate that soil and rock compositions at the Apollo 12 landing site are similar to those encountered at Apollo 11 and Surveyor 3 landing sites. Seismic energy release was far less for the moon than for the earth. Magnetic gradient measurements established a local magnetic body of at least + 0.2 km in size at the landing site. Solar wind spectra at the lunar surface were similar to those of the solar plasma. Stereoscopic photography established the remarkable absence of dust on lunar rocks.
