<| While driving to and from work this week, I've been listening to the< <| Apollo 13 story (book on tape) by Jim Lovell. The story got me to <| wondering if there are any "historic" spacecraft in orbit around the <| Earth or Moon -- Apollo 13 service module, LEM, etc. <| <| Rob Miller <| Coralville, Iowa Mr. Miller, Concerning spacecraft orbiting the Moon: (With the exception of Apollo 11) after the ascent stage of the LM had docked with the CSM in lunar orbit, the LM was jettisoned for an intentional impact with the lunar surface. Seismometers and other instruments left on the surface listened to these impacts and were able to deduce information concerning the Moon's core. In fact, the lack of a molten interior resulted in the core ringing "like a bell" after the impacts. -- John P.
