title: Chemical analysis of the moon at the surveyor v landing site.
abstract: The chemical composition of the lunar surface material at a maria landing site has been determined by the alpha-scattering technique. Oxygen, silicon, and aluminum have been identified in the preliminary evaluation of the data. The general chemical composition is similar to that of a silicate of a basaltic type.
