The Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package, or ALSEP, was a set of connected scientific instruments left on the Moon when the Apollo program ended. ALSEP was powered by radioisotope thermic generators, which were turned off due to budget cuts. On February 24, 1963 the MSC Lunar Surface Experiments Panel held its first meeting. This group was formed to analyze lunar surface experiments and the adaptability of Surveyor and other unmanned probes for use with manned missions. In december 1974 the last experiment stopped working.

ALSEP - Wikipedia (169 words)
ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package) war die Bezeichnung für einen Gerätekomplex zur Durchführung von wissenschaftlichen Experimenten auf der Mondoberfläche in den Jahren 1969 bis 1977.
ALSEPs wurden ab Apollo 12 von allen Apollo-Missionen verwendet, wobei die Zusammensetzung der Experimente variierte.
Das ALSEP wurde von den Astronauten in etwa 100 Meter Entfernung von der Mondlandefähre aufgebaut, damit die Geräte nicht durch den Wiederaufstieg der Fähre beschädigt würden.
