And when the nation is ready to send men back, the scientists good area to start the say new phase of lunar surface exploration is the moon's far side. The recommendations were made in a report issued this month by the Lunar Science Institute. It was based on a detailed stuty by 44 of the top moon scientists in the United States. "The termination of the Apollo flight program after Apollo 17 leaves the scientific tasks undertaken by Apollo finally unfinished," the report A great deal of work said. thus remains to be done." The scientists recommended that studies of the current Apollo data continue to mid 1974 and that more detailed research using Apollo results should go on for many years "A reasonable return on our national investment in the Apollo program requires exten sive study of the information and materials returned by the Apollo missions," the report said. It also requires addition al accumulation of data leading to a precise definition of the problems to be attacked in the return phase of exploration. To get this new information, the scientists recommended several modest lunar missions. And they said the first priority was an unmanned mission that would orbit over the moon's poles and map the entire lunar surface as the globe rotated slowly beneath it. "Such a survey stands at a pivotal point between truly completing the yield from the Apollo science program and planning future lunar explora tion, the scientists said. All of the Apollo manned missions and the unmanned American and Soviet landings have been carried out on the side cf the moon facing Earth. "Therefore, from a purely exploratory point of view, it is desirable to make a first reconnaissance of the far side," the report said. And the scientists said a possible site for such a far side venture is the great crater Tsiolkovsky. Another potential area for advanced exploration is a moon polar region which would be far from the low latitude sites reached by Apollos. Other sites of interest are large ringed basins on the front side, areas where relatively young volcanic materials are thought to exist and areas where astronomers have seen what appeared to be gases escaping from the surface.
