Fourth Lunar Science Conference

Abstract

On 30 January 1973, the last sample containment bag from the last Apollo mission to the moon was logged into the processing cabinets of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory in Houston, Texas. The Apollo program, an undertaking that began as a demonstration of technological prowess and evolved into one of the greatest voyages of scientific exploration in our century, had drawn to a close.
