Solar Wind Spectrometer

The Solar Wind Spectrometer was a scientific package that flew on the Apollo 12 and Apollo 15 missions to the surface of the Moon. The goal was to characterise the solar wind near the Moon's surface and to explore its interactions with the lunar environment. The experiments' principal investigator was Dr Conway W. Snyder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
