Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package
- 1The ALSEP consisted of a suite of scientific instruments deployed on the lunar surface.
- 2These packages were left behind by astronauts during five separate Apollo missions.
- 3The deployment of ALSEP began on missions following the Apollo 11 flight.
- 4Apollo 11 utilized a smaller, distinct version known as the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP).
