Washington, D.C. -- A National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lockhead Electra equipped to acquire black and white, color and color infrared photography and thermal infrared imagery, was used to obtain data over the area in northern Peru which suffered the most severe earthquake damage May 31, 1970. The government of Peru had accepted the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration's offer to send one of its remote sensing aircraft to help assess damage resulting from the recent severe Peruvian earthquake. The data, in addition to helping the Peruvian government assess damage and plan reconstruction, will contribute also to the future application of the science of remote sensing to natural disasters.

This color reconstruction of part of the northern hemisphere of Ganymede was made from pictures taken at a range of 313,000 km (194,000 mi.). The scene is approx. 1,300 km (806 mi.) across. It shows part of dark, densely cratered block which is bound on the south by lighter, and less cratered, grooved terrain. The dark blocks are believed to be the oldest parts of Ganymede's surface. Numerous craters are visible, many with central peaks. The large bright circular features have little relief and are probably the remnants of old, large craters that have been annealed by flow of the icy near-surface material. The closely-spaced arcuate, linear features are probably analogous to similar features on Ganymede which surround a large impact basin. The linear features here may indicate the former presence of a large impact basin to the southwest.

Oceanography - Salinity Temp Depth Sensor. Coast Guard Oceanography--A salinity Temperature Depth Sensor was used for the first time by the U.S. Coast Guard oceanographic vessel Evergreen as the main sampling tool during a 1966 oceanographic survey to determine if the source of the Labrador Current is formed in the Hudson Strait. Seaman David C. Brown of Albion, N.Y., guides the Sensor to the ships platform as it is hauled by winch from the deep waters of the Strait. Nine of this type Sensor soon will be available for rotating among major Coast Guard cutters performing oceanographic work. The Sensor system instantaneously records readings for salinity and temperatures to a depth of 1,500 meters. Data from the special analog computer located in the upper cage of the Sensor passes through a conductor cable attached to the winch and pulling cable and on to a recorder in the ship's laboratory.

AS17-141-21608 (13 Dec. 1972) --- Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan stands near an over-hanging rock during the third Apollo 17 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. Scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt took this photograph. The tripod-like object just outside the shaded area is the gnomon and photometric chart assembly which is used as a photographic reference to establish local vertical sun angle, scale and lunar color. The gnomon is one of the Apollo Lunar Geology Hand Tools. While astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the Lunar Module Challenger to explore the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans remained with the Apollo 17 Command and Service Modules in lunar orbit.
