Scientific paper

Every year in Houston there is a lunar-planetary conference, at which the current results of the work of scientists studying the solar system's bodies are summed up. The conference is organized by the U.S. Lunar-Planetary Institute of the University Association for Space Research and by NASA's Johnson Space Center. Originally the conferences were concerned only with lunar research. Later, as of March, 1978, the meetings' scientific program was expanded and began to include many other questions connected with the study of the solar system. Nearly 500 planetologists and scientists with allied specialities participated in the work of the 15th Lunar-Planetary Conference, which took place in March, 1984. In all, at 28 sectional meetings, almost 300 oral reports were heard and they touched on such themes as: the study of regoliths; the origin of the crust; lunar petrology; lunar geology; planetary physics; the study of isotopes; the study of meteorites; the study of shock crater formation; the satellites of the giant planets; Mars; Venus; the evolution of the solar system; asteroids and comets; and cosmic dust.
