EXTRATERRESTRIAL PARTICULATES FROM ANTARCTICA,

Abstract

In connection with the studies being conducted by USAEL on radar reflections of the lunar planetary surface, it was requested that samples of the micrometeorite material be obtained from the South Pole Station and measurements be made of its dielectric properties. Such data could be of value in interpreting the results of the lunar surface study. The purpose of the present investigations therefore was to study the dielectric properties and physical nature of the sediment obtained from the snow melters and to compare the dielectric data obtained with similar data obtained by radar reflection studies of the lunar surface.
