The Apollo 15 Lunar Samples. Houston, TX: The Lunar Science Institute, 1972. Author gives specifics on the geochemistry of the Apollo 15 samples and includes procedures on how to extract particular chemicals and analyze chemical abundances. This reference is an essential source of information to understand the composition of the site at Hadley Rille and how to proceed with obtaining data from collected lunar samples. Delano, John W., and Grant H. Heiken, eds. Workshop on Lunar Volcanic Glasses: Scientific and Resource Potential. Houston, TX: Lunar and Planetary Institute, 1989. This text classifies lunar glasses found during the Apollo missions and categorizes them based upon composition and origin. It also, provides some ideas on how to analyze samples and isolate certain chemicals. Deciphering differences between volcanic and impact glasses is a necessary goal of the mission. Dowty, Eric, G. H. Conrad, J. A. Green, P. F. Hlava, K. Keil, R. B. Moore, C. E. Nehru, and M. Prinz. Catalogue of Apollo 15 Rake Samples From Stations 2 (St.George), 7 (Spur Crater), and 9a (Hadley Rille). Albuquerque, NM: Department of Geology and Institute of Meteoritics, 1973.

This reference provides details for mineral composition of mare basalt at Hadley Rille and other Apollo 15 sites. Includes detailed analyses of samples collected during the mission. This will be beneficial in narrowing the possibilities of collected impact spherules being of volcanic or impact origin. Jolliff, Bradley L., Mark A. Wieczorek, Charles K. Shearer, and Clive R. Neal, eds. Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry. Vol. 60. Chantilly, VA: The Mineralogical Society of America, 2006. Author gives a guide for spectral reflectance remote sensing of lunar surface compositions and how to process the resulting lunar data. These alternative analysis techniques are important to keep in mind while deciding upon which data collection technique to implement on the lunar mission. Keil, Klaus, Martin Prinz, H. N. Planner, S. R. Skaggs, and E. Dowty. A Qualitative Comparison of Textures in Lunar Chondrules and CO2 Laser-Formed Synthetic Chondrule-Like Spherules. Albuquerque, NM: Department of Geology and Institute of Meteoritics, 1973. The author adds to the knowledge of how to classify lunar glasses of different varieties. Explanations of the key characteristics on how to interpret impact spherules will be useful in the progressive stages of the lunar mission. Leonardi, Piero. Volcanoes and Impact Craters on the Moon and Mars. Calliano, Italy: Vallagarina Arti Grafiche R. Manfrini S.p.A., 1976.

The text provides a detailed description of the features of Hadley Rille and the surrounding area by describing the inside and top portions of the rille. In order to understand the full context from which the analyzed samples were extracted, a basic knowledge of the history of the location is valuable. The Lunar Geoscience Working Group. Status and Future of Lunar Geoscience. Washington D.C: Scientific and Technical Information Branch, 1986. On a broader scale, this reference features the history of the surface and crustal geological processes of the Moon. Most importantly, the text focuses on the impact and volcanic history of the lunar surface around Hadley Rille. Ryder, Graham, John W. Delano, Paul H. Warren, Gregory W. Kallemeyn, and G. Dalrymple. A Glass Spherule of Questionable Impact Origin from the Apollo 15 Landing Site: Unique Target Mare Basalt (1995). The authors debates the origin of a glass spherule collected from the Apollo 15 mission providing evidence for both volcanic and impact origins. The eventual reach of a conclusion provides an excellent reference detailing every physical and chemical aspect of our collected samples that will need to be carefully analyzed and interpreted. Salisbury, John W., and Peter E. Glaser, eds. The Lunar Surface: Materials and Characteristics. New York, NY: Academic P, 1964. This reference supplies emission and reflectance characteristics of rock powders and how atmospheric conditions affect samples. It also, includes

results from direct shear tests on glass spheres collected from lunar samples. The effects of space weathering is an essential aspect in the understanding the origins of the collected impact spherules from the lunar mission. Wilhelms, Don E. The Geological History of the Moon. Washington D.C.: United States Government Printing Office, 1987. The author presents a description of Hadley Rille and the surrounding area including the stratigraphic history of the area and other major events that occurred that influenced the development of prominent features. In addition, the site of the Apollo 15 mission is also evaluated. Specifically, this reference offers important images of the landing area the lunar mission will be centered around.
